The long illness of Miss Helen NJ.
Ross terminated fatally last Thursday
morning, and the happy family circle
of ten members was for the first time in
rtuded on by the dread and irresistible
messenger of death. Tender nursing
and loving hearts could not preclude
the inevitable, nor keep the circle
longer unbroken. Miss Ross was
young lady of good education, had
taught some at the West, and was as
sistant principal of the BrattlebOro
high school when she was taken i'll.
She was withal a devoted Christian,
and remarkably unselfish and gener
ous-as her connection with the Mis-
sionary society clearly indicated. Her
death will be sincerely mOurned by
many intimate friends who knew and
had felt her influence.
Funeral services were held at the
house on Saturday afternoon, and the
esteem in which Miss Ross was held
was fully attested by the large num-
Der who gathered to pay the last sad
tribute. The service was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. E. L. Fairbanks,
and appropriate hymns were sung by
female quartette.
At meeting of the Young Ladies'
Missionary Society, held March 81, the
following resolutions were passed:
Whereas, God has taken to himself
Miss Helen NJ. Ross, for many years an
active member and officer of the Young
Ladies' Missionary Society.
ResOlued, That we do hereby record
our sense of our deep loss, our appre-
citation of her faithful, hearty service,
of her devotion to the cause of mis-
sions, of her affection to this society
shown in the past years, by her ener-
getic labOrs, and since when absent
by her generous gifts to our treasury
and by her warm expressions of long
ing for its continued prosperity.
ResOlUed, That while we sorrow that
we shall no more have her help, we
will cOnsecrate ourselves afresh to this
work she loved.
ResOlred, That we sympathize with
her own household in their joy that
they had the sunshine of her presence
in their home so long, and in their sor-
row that they have lost it so soon.

Geo. w. Cook of West Danville
makes the following showing of what
can be done in the poultry business on
small scale: He commenced the
winter with 81 hens, mostly brown and
white LeghOrns, and during the months
of January and February gathered 81
doz. and eggs, for which he realized
S22.S9; paid out for feed during the
same time, $7.37, leaving a net profit
of Sl5.52. He keeps his hens in Il
room IL feet by -, and 9 feet high,
and so protected from the cold that
water has seldom frozen during the
coolest weather. The principal feed
change to corn meal and shorts. 1t is
well worth the time for any one inter
ested in this branch of industry to call
and examine Cooks arrangements for
wintering hens and making them pay.
He ships his eggs direct to market
with what he can buy in the neighbOr-
hood, and furnishes settings to those
who want. He proposes to extend his
facilities and go into the business on Il
| large scale another winter.

-'SpectatOr" sends us the following
in relation to recent proceedings at the
convent: Last week, the musicians
gave musical review. A general
invitation was extended to all relatives
of the pupils and quite a number were
present. The entertainment consisted
of vocal and instrumental music. The
playing was, speaking generally, ex-
cellent. The singing was certainly
good, some of the young girls possess
ing very fine voices. Four tiny little
misses, of six and seven, played the
accomplishments to the French and
English songs sung by their compan-
ions. All seemed well pleased with
the afternoons performances, parents
especially. Too much credit cannot
be given the good Sisters for their
untiring care and devotedness."

alleged that this same individual reg

Butter is rather scarce, and prices
keep high, good butter bringing 35
cents. 1t is the opinion of shrewd OBJ
servers that it will bring good price
through the summer, perhaps % cents
or more. There are several reasons
for the scarcity. The production both
East and West was less than usual
last season on account of the drOuth
