Death of an Eccentric Old Lady.

Death of an Eccentric Old LRdYs There passed away last Thursday Mrs.
 Nancy Bartholomew, an aged person whose
 life, long and prolonged far beyond three
 score and ten, had not been eventful, but who
 had long been known to her friends and
 neighbors as peculiar person of odd ways,
 and was regarded as one who, though pos
 sessed of ample means, was haunted, either | with g fear of some day coming to want, or | with an overmastering desire to accumulate l wealth. She owned several houses, one on | Wall street, an ancient time-worn wooden
 structure, between College and High streets l one, a modern and well-built brick residence | on the same street, between College and Tenn 1 pie streets and one on York street, in which | a daughter resided. She lived by herself in her wooden residence until it became much | out of repair, and she was constantly taking
 cold. She then went to reside with her daughter, who is a widow. She seemed to | have an idea that she must save everything she could, and many instances of carrying | saving propensities to 8 remarkable extent are quoted of her by such as knew of her and her ways, even to picking up bits of string and rope | and pieces of coal which she encountered in | her walks, and frequently soliciting eagerly and earnestly for aid, or with much keenness l bartsring off some little article for money.
 She was not considered insane. Her conver-
 sation did not indicate any alteration Of mind | On the contrary she conversed in P rfectly
 rational manner, and with much inte.Hgence, but she was very sparing in expenditures for
 herself or others, even to remarkable de- gree, and to see her, as many time has been remarked, one wouldn't have supposed she
 had 8 cent to her name. When on her
 death bed she displayed an uncommon aver
 sion to having her apparel changed which she
 had on her person. This seemed odd enough, and was put down as another of the old lady | vagaries. After she was dead $50 in bills were found underneath each of her armpits, sewed into her chemise. An examination of | her effects shows the old lady to have been possessed, according to reports, of about | $50, ,O0O.

Ilmpor1ant to Investors.

Capitalists and others with money to invest will do well to make note of the advertise msnt of the New York, New England and Western Investment Company, published elsewhere. The company is thoroughly re sponsible one, entitled to confidence, and hav- ing special facilities for placing investments safely, and for caring for the interests of its patrons. It has been very successful as a medium between purchasers of investment bonds and the municipal and other corpora tions issuing them, and has repeatedly secured the adjustment of matters in controversy to the satisfaction of both parties. The eompa- ny also negotiates loans on Western farms at from to 10 per cent, with ample security, and collects interest without charge to the lender. It also deals in the choicest and safest bonds of every description. Among its stockholders are some of the most reputable business men of New York and Boston, and the extent of it's business enables it to make unusually advantageous offers to investors. The company will soon have branch offices in Hartford and New Haven.

frightened horse, attached to {. grocery wagon, dashed wildly down Elm street Satur- day morning, the driver having lost all con- trol over him. On reaching the corner of Orange the wagon crashed into buggy of MT. Joseph Parker's, telescoping it with the horse, who almost instantaneously found him- self occupying back seat. Although badly frightened he was well handled and quieted, and with the exception of the demoralized condition of the buggy no serious damage was apparently done. If more care was given to the manner of hitching horses to vehicles, fewer of those accidents, which sometimes re- suit most seriously, would occur. A sudden start or playful prance of a high-strung horse often terminates in bad runaway when the animal is so hitched up as to allow the whif1etree to come in contact with his haunches,
