Death Of Mrs. R 7. Petrso.

We have rarely had occasion TO
chronicle death which caused such
universal sorrow in this community
as that Of Mira. Mary Williams pelree,
which occurred OF the residence OF
her husband, Judge II. I. Petrec, in
this city, last Wednesday afternoon.
The condition Of her health had been
feeble Tor several years, and the grad
ual decline upon which she seemed to
have entered so lessened her vital
powers that her friends had but little
reason to hope for her recovery
when she was taken several weeks
ago with Inflammation Of the stom-
ach, from which she died.
Mrs. Peiree was daughter of the
Rev. John Hubbard, who was an EN-.
inent Baptist minister IN this section
She was married in 1854 to Judge
Pelree, and eyer since has been res.
ident Of Ilopkinsville. She was
widely known in this community aud
was held in the most cordial esteem
by all. In her character aud life was
exemplified the highest type Of wo.
manhood. She was indeed
$50 gcntler than tho gentlesi
so pnrcr than the purest,"
that she had refining aud eleyaling
influence upon all who came in con.
tact with her. Her womanly, chris.
tian graccs shed constant light
round about her, light as modest
and as ennobling as the violcts. Fit,
Indeed, was her translation from
earthly angelhood to the company Of
the redeemer in the skies.
Mrs. Pciree leaves a husband, five
children aud wide circle OF rela-
tiyes and devoted friends to mourn
the irreparable loss accustomed by her
death. Her memory will be Affect
ionaiely cherished III this community,
where her influence will long be felt.

A REMARKABLE CANARY.

The power of imitation possessed Dy plras
of the parrot tribe has long been tamlliarly
known, and it would not be difflcult TO ma
numerous examples of even welI-edueaaTIet u
members of the genus IN TINS respect Ine me
vocal powers of canaries, however are noI
usually regarded as being equal to the pro-
duction of articulate sounds resembling those
made by the human voice. But there IS az pres
ent in the possession of Dr. J. McGrigor
Croft. saws The (British) Medical Press, little
songster of this description, which, beside S
giving utterance to delicious warnings, Is
also able TO talk with clearness and pre-,
cision simply marvellous. Somewhat sceptlcai
of the accounts we had received OF this animal
wonder, we have, says The Press, through the
kindness of Dr. Croft, had an opportunity OF
directly proving the truth OF the statements
made concerning it. The canary does veI .
itably speak, and enunciates number OF
sentences which are clearly imitatlye OF
the voice of the lady who has had care
of il since its early youth The effect,
indeed, produced by the clear, sWeetIy
uttered sentences pronounced by ,the
bird is almost weird at first; but the teellng
of wonder thus created quickly gives rise TO 4
sensation of exquisite pleasure, which is deep,
ened as the little creature suddenly at the end
of a sentence rushes off into ecstacy OF song
As illustrating the exquisite pllablllty or the
laryngeal apparatus of small BIRDS, ana the
extent TO which training may be carried III such
cases. the tiny animal is deeply interesting 10

it is undoubtedly unique.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN sEA-FIsHING.

A French paper reports trial by Govern
ment permission Of an electric lure for sea
fish. 1t consists of an electric light IN glass
Globe with device for sinking it to the desired
depth AS soon as the light is turned on the
sea in its vicinity is Illuminated brilliantly, ana
the fish, over whom light is well known to
exercise an irresistible influence at night,
come eagerly, and sometimes in large schools,
within the rays. They may be seen from above
dlsportipg themselves in the unaccustomed
brightness. and little dreaming of the sinister
nurpose with which the little fete is organized for
them. 1t is then that other fishing. boats, armed
with nets, come up and set to work at the un,
as they can without interfering with the ap-
paratus connected with the lighted globe. 1t
may be supposed that this device Is calculated
to onerate with much deadly effect whenever
it is used and there seems to be much doubt
whether it will ever he allowed as recog-
nized kind of fishing within territorial waters
Indeed, the license granted by the Govern
ment is said to be merely provisional, and
for the purpose of testing the new machine.
