loDged loses at her death member with not
only willing hands, and moral force, but also
exceptional spiritual strength, while no words
can suggest the desolation which her sudden
removal has brought upon her home Her
children arise up and call her blessed; her hus-
band also, and he praiseth her."
CHARLES DAVIS Of Brooklyn, n. Y, who has
assisted in the street entertainment given by
DR.. J. A. Graham was found dead in his bed
at the Union house Monday morning. The
deceased seemed in usual health and spirits
Sunday and retired to his room about half-past
nine, where he sat up reading until about
eleven o'clock. Monday morning his COM
paDions were unable to arouse him, and a
doctor was at once summoned, who pronounced
him dead The selectmen were at once noti-
| fed and Drs. Kemp and Putnam made an in
| vestigation of the cause of death, reporting
| that in their opinion the man died of apoplexy
| The remains were properly cared for and taken
| to Brooklyn Monday night
NETTIE f., daughter of Benjamin Daley,
| died Monday morning of typhoid fever after a
brief but severe illness She was the organist
| at the Methodist church and was able to attend
| to her duties three weeks ago last Sunday,
| although not feeling in usual health at that
time. Miss Daley was a most estimable young
| lady, OF unblemished character, greatly loved
| by her immediate friends and highly respected
| by all who knew her She had rare musical
| talent and would have graduated in the musi-
| cal department at the Methodist seminary
next year. Eer QeaLn is n neaVy DlOW. Inc
| funeral services were held yesterday afternoon
| at Trinity church. The organ, which she had
| played so many times, was draped in mourning,
the work being done in very tasty manner by
| Messrs Charles A. and Frank Owler Henry,
the son, is still very sick with the same disease
MORE voters attended the school meeting
| last Wednesday evening than have been pres
ent before since 1877 when the committee per-
mitted Principal Miller to resign and his friends
carried the issue into the district meeting, turn
ing out all the old committee except one. Af-
ter the election of H. A Huse, Esq, as moder-
ator and Hiram Carleton Esq as clerk. the re-
port of the prudential committee was given by
the chairman, c. H. Heath, Esq. showing, as
we have already stated, that the tax voted
last year was sufficient to pay the running ex-
penses of the school and retire 80, 500 of the
Indebtedness, leaving the district practically
out of debt Charles H. Heath, Esq, was then
unanimously elected chairman for the ensuing
year, II. A. Huse having declined the nomina-
tion rendered him. S. C Shurtleff, Esq., was
chosen in place of DR.. D. G. KENO, T. r Cor
don, Esq, was allowed to succeed himself by
one ma jority on the third ballot w. w Pres
colt was chosen in place of c. J. Gleason, ESQ.,,
who refused to be a candidate, and +. NJ.
J Guernsey, who has been member of the conf
mttee for several years, was unanimously re-
elected. There was some feeling shown be-
+ cause all the members of the old committee
| were not retained Mr.. D. L. Fuller objected
strongly to any change and did not like what
had been said in the newspapers about it.
This sounded rather queer, considering that
! Mr.. Fuller was one of the valiant seventeen
= who met last year and turned out all of the
old committee except one. H. A. Huse, Esq.
made good speech in reply, recalling some OF
3 these facts. The expenses of the coming yeal
were estimated at S36, 600 and tax of thirteen
cents on the dollar was voted to meet the same
A. W. Ferrin was elected treasurer D. P.
r Clark collector, and J. w. Ellis, w. G. Ferrn
Q and j. W. Brock auditors. The treasurer was
= authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding
1000 as temporary loan. Ten or twelve
q ladies were present and one of them, Mrs
! Joel Foster was nominated as a member of tn,
committee, but declined. Some one seems Il
i have started the story that a job had been pu
up to elect a committee that should undo wha
p, the last committee had already done in hiring
u \ principal and break up things generally, but
, so far as we know. there was no foundation
y for such a report The present board will so
> to 1t that the school Is we'll sustained.
