 Again the hand of bereavement has faller heavily upon our community, taking from. ul one whose name is go well and widely known 'the beloved physician" Dr,, Henry M I Knight. l For years he has been suffering from ar acute malady which has grown rapidly worse - of late, and at last he was forced to accep the conclusion all the while urged by hi, brother doctors, that entire rest was his only chance ofrecovery. On Monday, Jan. l2th he left Lakeville, hoping to gain health ane strength in Florida. A letter was receiv ed from him, telling of his safe arrival 1T Savannah, and we hoped that he would reacl his destination without ill effects from exces sive fatigue, but on Thursday last came tel egram, bringing the sad news that he was dy l ing at Fernandina, Florida. Mrs. Knight ant her brother-in.law, Dr. Wm. Knight ofSharon started at once, but evening brought anothe message, that Dr. Knight was dead. Ther' is no one whose death would cause Q greate shock to the whole community and i'll al hearts with sense of the loss of dearly loved friend, no one who will be longer. ant more deeply mourned and missed by al class 4 es, than Dr. Knight. Always going with hi whole soul into whatever he undertook, witl I 6 hand and voice ready for every good wort and work, and 6 genial enthusiasm carrying all hearts with him, he has filled O wide anc i most important. sphere, which no one ca, Fmake good. In the Congregational churcl whore he was a deacon, and where his nam and influence are beyond all praise of mine in the Sunday School, whose superintendent 2 he has been for years and where he has wo, the warm love of the children, who neve looked in vain for his kindly word and smile in the Institution which he has made his mon ument, and for whose welfare he has given hi < very life f; in all the homes throughout tn, whole town. wet eyes and sad hearts bea testimony to the heaviness of this sore be reavement.
 So has gone from among us one ''wearinl tue white flower of a blameless life"-a Tiff, spent for others, and fragrant with the lasting perfume of pure and noble deeds.
