RECORD OF FAILUREs- Reporter
says the number OF failures reported during the
past week is one hundred six, the lowest weekly
record for several months past The decrease as
compared with the reports Of the preceding week
was seventeen. 1t is plain from the decreasing
number Of failures in the west and south that the
III effects OF the long and severe winter in the
west and northwest are rapidly passing away,
and that the southern trade situation is improving.
In New England and particularly in Massachu-
sets an increase OF failures among the manu-
facturers is noted. Twenty-eight failures were
reported In these states, against twelve for the
preceding week. The middle states had twenty
two, a decrease Of six. In the western states
there were twenty-five, decrease OF twenty
three. The southern states present twenty-six, a
decrease OF four. Canada and the provinces had
eight, decrease OF two.

Obituary..

JoHoSNorr.-Very frequently, Of late, has our
community been called to sympathize with those
who mourn their dead but that the source Of Its
sympathy had not been exhausted was shown by
the deep grief everywhere manifested Sunday
morning, when It was known that another-one
OF the most beloved Of our young people, Cora
King Johonnott had yielded to the dread disease
that is now scourgng our village. Cora King,
daughter Of Clark King and Rhoda Dodge, was
born in East Montpelier, September @, 1857,
where the family resided until few years since,
when they became residents Of this town. A
bright scholar. Cora was hardly out OF her girl
hood before she commenced teaching and 80 &C
ceptable was her work in school, 1t was sought for
again and again. Later, she graduated with
honorable distinction from Goddard Seminary.
January l. 1878, she was married to Arthur p
Johonnott, also o: Montpelier, the young couple
entering this relation with bright prospects and
the sincere congratulations Of their many friends.
On the first day Of the present month little
daughter came to add to their domestic happiness
"a happiness all too short, for hardly had the
young mother known this new joy ere the terri
BILE diphtheris marked her for its victim. Con-
cious OF her danger from the first, she watched
the progress Of the disease through Its course,
and was ready for the end. To us who have
known Cora as the tenderest, loving daughter and
sister, the truest wife, and an energetic and
helpful woman, the blow falls with crushing
pain, and what wonder that, for the moment our
grief Is greater than our faith and we feel that
nothing can comfort us and those TO whom she
bore those closer relations In the bitterness Of
our loss may we cherish the memory OF her I'M
sefshness and unfailing cheerfulness, and II 1t
be possible convince ourselves that what to US is
sorrow and loss Is to her eternal joy and gain.
