1t is Needed Everywhere.

In last weeks issue we referred to the action of citizens of Bridgeport, who were starting Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and we are pleased to report that the society is an established fact. We believe that such societies arc needed in every town. Newtown is fre- quently favored(?) ? with visits from par ties who cruelty beat :and drive horses in our streets. A gentleman witnessed cru city to & nearly exhausted horse, last week. by two men who drove up Church Hill. The animal could hardly go, yet these men urged the horse with heavy blows, laid on with stick. The follow ins from the Derby Transcript, needs no comment:
 1.-Two brutal young men of New Ha- ven drove a livery horse to Derby recently, and when they returned the horse staggered to It's stall and died. There was great hole in the breast, and their course from Derby could be traced by blood. They refused to explain the wound, but paid fol the horse"
 What will the citizens of Newtown do about cruelty to animals

Mir. Abram Ellsworth, a wealthy mer' chant of Port Ewen, Ulster Co.,, N. 4., had suffered for more than twenty-five years with disease involving nearly the whole of the thigh bone, and the suffering man was given up by all the physicians who had attended him, who said there was nc help, he must die. Finally Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of "Favorite Remedy" was con- suited, who decided that amputation would save tho patient. Dr. Kennedy performed the operation, and then gave Favorite Remedy" to purify the blood, and thus prevent the return of the disease-and MT. Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom of health.

FRANK W. TUCKER. M. D.

After long struggle with pulmonary disease, Frank w. Tucker, M. D., died in Sandy Hook, Conn.,, Sunday evening, February 29th, 1880, at o'clock. aged 39 years. He spent his early life in this town acquiring an education, and was regular attendant at the Academy for length of time. He afterwards attended the N Y. Conference Seminary, at Char totteyilIe, for a number of years, and was considered a very brilliant scholar and noted fol his proficiency In study, especial ly in mathematics. In the year 1864, he attended Eastmans Business College, and graduated there January 18th, 1865. Soon after he commenced the study of medicine and graduated with honor at Yale College, New Haven, December 12th, 1871. He then took trip to Europe and went out as surgeon on board a steamer, and was absent nearly one year Soon after his return he commence ei the practice of medicine in New York city with bright prospects. and on April 27th, 1875. he married Mary Bayliss, eldest daughter of John Bayliss, Esq, of that city. He continued very successful practice until the last summer, when on account of failing health he was obliged to rest The doctors last days were spent in the home of his childhood, where everything was done by loving hands to make him comfortable. The courtesy and kindness extended by his brother phy- sicians was greatly appreciated by him. self and friends. During all his finger ing illness he never complained of h1s sufferings, (which were at times very severel, yet he sometim es felt that it was very hard to be stricken down in the prime of manhood, when earthly pros poets were so bright and he had spent so many years in study and preparation for a life of usefulness in his chosen profes- sion. But he became submissive to the Divine will, and his last hours seemed peaceful as the setting sun.
 The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, March 3d, from the M. E, Church, the pastor, Rev. c. 5. Dikeman preaching an appropriate sermon from John xiii '. He leaves wife, brother and one sister, besides q host of other | relatives, who, with numerous citizens deeply mourn his loss; and well they may, for he was a man of superior attain ments, loved and esteemed by all who knew him.

Shall we Have a Sidewalk Between
 Newtown and Sandy Hook7

The terrible mud in which the resi- dents of the village have waded when passing to and from Sandy Hook, brings up again the subject of walk be- tween Newtown Street and that place. We believe that now is the time to carry out this object, and we hope that some one with public spirit will set to work and raise the amount by subscription. We will gladly publish any suggestion that interested parties may make. We are satisfied that enough money can be raised to build walk if the proper meas ures are taken-it is certainly worth the trial. Such an improvement is needed, and, when completed. it will be an orna- ment to the town. Come, who will take the lead

MARY J. MACNAMARA.

It Is our sad duty to chronicle the daughter of Michael MacNamara, who died March 9th. seven days previous to the completion of her eighteenth birth day. This young lady was loving, obe- dient daughter, kind sister and true, warm hearted friend to all who ever gained her friendship. Indeed, as 8 young friend truly observed, "all her ac- Quaintances were sincere friends" she was the light of her home-full of life and gaiety, yet imbued with strong moral and religious principles, and sterling piety.-as her beloved pastor fitly said, "she led pure and simple life, and was model for all. old and. young. to copy after"
 Her life was pure and stainless
 AX the lilies inmost fold,
 That partly veila Its pure heart Of sterling virgin gold
 She will live in the hearts of her friends while memory holds true frienSBhip sa- cred. She bore her illness with Chris tian fortitude, and died peaceably and happy, her last words being, papa, l mamma" The floral offerings were ap. propriate and beautiful, and evinced the lous of her many friends. Her death leaves q void in the circle of her ac quaintances which it will be hard to fill The funeral, which took place Sunday was largely attended. Requiescat in pace IN MKMonIAM.
 Our tender bud bas fallen
 To the earth and the dust; But its pure and holy spirit Now mingles with the just;
 While the memoryiof it's fragrance
 Still fingers with us near
 And teaches our tired sad hearts
 To emulate her here. The sweet and tenderi fragrance
 Of his flower pure and fair
 Was nourished in Faiths sunlight And watered by prayer; | It faded In the twilight
 Of Religions holy kiss. And died in the strong hope
 Of an eternal bliss.
 Our hearts will miss this flower
 From the garden of our life; | Its delicate texture was too frail
 To bear this mortal strife.
 Yet we think of her as blooming
 In the Celestial light
 Of the Fathers glorious presence In Heaven garden bright. And through the years that follow Before reach our home. Tho memory of her sweetness . Will soften sorrows tone.
 And though our grief is swelling,
 We bow before the rod 1 We know that she ia happy
 And leave our child with God"

DUNLAP.
The Kaw Indian Lands.


Soon after the removal of the Kaw In
dams to the Territory, in 1873, settlers
began locating on their lands in Lyon
and Morris counties, and ere long
town was started ON Rock creek, near the
crossing ofthe NJ. X. & T. railroad. 1t
was named Dunlap, in honor of Joseph
Dunlap, veteran frontiersman and In
dian trader For several years the Kaw
lands were kept out of market by the set
tiers, who were constantly petitioning
for a re-appraisement, claiming that the
land would not sell at tue price fixed
upon it by the commissioners IN
1872. The average price of
this appraisement was about 1925 per
acre on the diminished reserve, and
about $275 on the trust land, In 1919 or
'76 the secretary of the interior appointed
commission to rcappraise the land, but
upon looking it over they decided it was
not too high and so reported to the de-
partment. In 1873 another appraise-
ment was ordered at which time reduc-
ton of about 33 per cent was made on
the first appraisal and they are now being
sold at the valuation fixed by this com
mission. Many of the best citi'
zens of Council Grove believe
that it would have been better
to keep the land in market as first ap
praised. BY good judges it was never
thought to be too high, but many who
took claims upon it were poor men and
could not pay its real value. 1t Is claim
ed by those who think it should have
been kept at the. original price, that a
better class ofcitiZens would have bought
it. However this may be, it is certainly
true that much of the land would have
been sold, patented and taxable ere this
whereas under the present arrangement
much of it will not be subject to taxation
for five or six years yet to come. Tn
settlers are making every effort L

payment One pious gentleman at Coun
Gil Grove informed me that he was loan
