W. Z. McNama, aged Sc years, 8 months
and q days.
Although her illness was Of very short
duration, she was fully prepared to meet

years q consistent member Of the Cum

hope Of eternal salvation. Her greatest
joy in life was conferred in the happiness
of her husband and children, and being
all her life surrounded by her family, she
found her greatest pleasure in minister
ing to their welfare. She had, by her
unremitting efforts for their happiness,
so endeared herself to all as to render her
loss q doubly hard z to bear; and the
home she has left seems more than desc
late to those who loved her so tenderly
and are bowed down with grief. In all
her associations of active life, her efforts
were not for her own but for others

needed her kindly Offices and generous
aid but feels that a friend to Gods needy
and suffering ones has gone, and a void
made that will not soon be failed. The
deep spirit Of sadness that now rests over
the community in which so many years of
her life has been spent, speaks more elo-
quently than human tongue can do the
high regard in which she was held by
neighbors and friends, for non knew her
but to love her, and all realize her kind

Rivals of Horse.

Electricity is now entering the field
against the horse az means of traction.
Two eminent electricians claim to be able
to bottle up twelve horse power in a stor-
age battery weighing three hundred
weight, and they promise to produce in
a few months a perfectly practical cleo
trio tricycle., capable of running fifteen OF
twenty miles without recharging the ac-
cumulators, and able to ascend all such
hills as are now possible for the foot tri-
cycle, and even sleeper gradients, If lux
Hilary foot gearing be used to help the
electro-mctor when the incline is great
The weight of batteries will not exceed
the weight of a second rider, and will run
at the rate Of seven miles an hour. As
the new motor will never go lame or shy
o. break its knees, OF eat its head of
when not employed, it is likely to prove
a dangerous rival to the horse.

where the trouble is. Its work is as
quiet as the breathless working of
wizard oil. Being so full of the sub
ject we might write alecture on it, but
will forbear.
