THE ANNUAL CYCLOP FDIA.

This great work is another Of ID. Appleton Il
Cos publications. Some OF our readers are fa-
mlllar with its character and others are not. To
those who are not familiar with it we would say
tat it is quite different from the American
Cyclop@dla, and is in no way connected with it,
but, as it's name indicates, is published annual
ly, i. e., one volume year, and each volume is
complete record OF the important events Of
the year for which 1t is published. Each vol
ume begins with the first letter of the alphabet
and closes with the last, thus making it COM
plete In itself.
For editors, lawyers, clergymen, politicians
IN short everyone who wishes to keep up with
the times, the Annual Cyclopedia is invaluable.
There is special article on each State in the
Union, in which is recorded the crop reports,
health statistics important legislation, railroad
matters, etc. Then there is a separate article
on each country on the globe. The space al
lotted to the Congress Of the U. s." averages
about 100 pages in each volume, giving q record
OF the important acts passed, the debates on
the leading questions, and the ayes and noes on
the votes taken.
yellow Fever '"Germ Theory OF Disease" )" and
other leading questions concerning the practice
OF medicine.
Educational matters are given in full /; in fact,
these volumes, taken as they come out, places
within our reach, and in convenient form for
reference, the exact condition OF the world from
year to year. They act as supplement to the
American, or any other Cyclopedia, and they
are nc less valuable il one has no other CYCLIC
pedia.
Il The Annual for 1879 10 especially valuable, as
it gives in full the exact transactions which
brought about the Maine difficulties, the list of
questions submitted to the supreme court, and
their answers. The extra session OF Congress
is fully noticed, the resumption OF specie pay
ments, the refunding of the national debt, etc.,
making it Of immense value this Presidential
year.

The death OF Captain Il. l.. Barrett, brie
mention OF which was made last weet, calls 10
something more than . mere "death notice,
from the fact that he was among the earlies
settlers OF this CONTEMPLATING come here wit
his wife and five children in the spring Of 1873
and his sturdy blows contributed rs much
perhaps, as those OF any one man towards trans
forming trackless wilderness into the beautI
ful, highly cultivated country that surrounds u
to-day.
He was born in Mason, Hillsborough county
New Hampshire, May 4th, 1899. In April, 1921
he married Sally Sampson in his native village
By this marriage he had one child, now Mrs. s
s. Barker, OF Hamilton, this county. HIS frs
wife died in 1922. lie removed to the State o.
New York in 1928, and the following year ht
married Eliza Spaulding, by whom he had eight
children, and who shared his early struggles and
the privatons and hardships attendant upon
pioneer life. She died here in 1912. In 1874 he
married Mrs. Polly Bristol, his present widow,
by whom he had three children. AS above men
toned, he came to Michigan. then Territory,
in 1888, driving an OK team through from De-
troit, guided through the almost unbroken will
derness by blazed" trees. In 1885 he and Pc
ter Gremps built saw mill where the Phoenix
mill now stands, and the same year he built the
first frame house erected in the county, the
carpenter work on which was done by Myron
Hoskins. The first potato ''patch" planted by
the Captain here was near the site Of the First
National bank, and he cleared and "broke" most
of the ground on which Paw Paw stands. On
May 2Sth, 1884, he entered, at the land Office in
kalamazoo, the land on which now stands Mr..
C. F. Aliens farm house, paying therefor 31.25
per acre /" in notes Of the Bank of Michigan
In 1887 he bought Of Peter Gremps the farm
now owned and occupied by John I. Clapp, for
which he paid one hundred and ten dollars, and
which he improved and lived upon until the
spring or 1854, when he sold out and moved in
to this village, engaging, in company with An
thony Cooley, in the drug trade. In 1858 he
moved to the farm three miles south OF the
village now occupied by his widow, and after he
was sixty years old he set out the splendid Or
chard now standing there, and lived to enjoy
its fruit for twelve or thirteen years.
Capt. Barrett was a man OF iron nerve and
constitution, active, athletic, and great work
er. and in his early and middle life he made hot
work for the "boys' in jumping, running and
wrestling matches, and no old soldiers eye
sparkled more brightly at sound OF the drum
than would the Captain while recounting rem
lniscences OF bis prowess in these sports.
On the Goth day Of February last he had
stroke of paralysis, since which time he has re-
NAMED in semi-unconscious condition, until
Saturday, July 16, he had another stroke, which
terminated fatally on the Thursday following.
He was buried in the old cemetery in the
the northern part Of the village, followed thith
er by large number of people, many Of whom
have passed from youth to age in Paw Paw, but
not one them were his contemporary pioneers
