.BosToS, May -. The lack of funds with
which to continue the supply of gas and wa
ter for the postoffice and sub-treasury build
ing, resulted to-day in seriously Gripping the
workings of these departments, particularly
the postoffice, the gas having been turned off
this morning, and the weather being cloudy.
At night all work will cease in the post
office. and as there will be a large accumula-
ton of mails, very serious Inconvenience
will result
The clerks in the post Office tonight per-
formed their duties by aid of locomotive
headlights loaned by railroad companies, tai
low candles and lanterns. The postmasters
at Newport and New Bedford have accepted
offers from local gas companies offering to
furnish gas at their own risk.
Investigations.
Governor Long and council visited Con-
cord to-day and began an investigation into
the charges of Encouragement at the State
prison. Two convicts were examined, both
of whom alleged cruel treatment by prison
officials. Adjourned till tomorrow.

One of the saddest events that we have had
occasion to chronicle for long time, is the
death of family of three children of B. F.
and Hattie Pettingill, who resides at Pettin-
gilPs Corner in this city. The children died
of that much dreaded disease, scarlet fever
The funeral took place Wednesday, and was
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Upjohn, and was
very impressive. Three little caskets Law side
by side, and were buried in one grave. Floyd
the eldest, bright, smart child, died May
9Th, aged years; Johnnie, darling boy,
aged years, died May llth. The youngest.
aged months, looked like a sweet pretty
doll. On the plate on the casket was en-
graved "Our Baby" This is indeed great
blow to Mr.. and Mrs. Pettingill, and in this
bereavement they have the heartfelt sympathy
of the whole community. When death comes
suddenly upon us, it touches our hearts, and
we begin to realize that another link of the
chain has been broken that binds us together.
Death is an event for which we are never
ready. Mr. and Mrs. Pettingill feel keenly
the loss of their three children. While We
all drop a sympathetic tear with the bereaved
parents, yet we have the consolation of read
ing of Him who said, "Suffer little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven"
