DR. Atwood orosby's Death


The body of DIR. Atwood Crosby of Water
vile arrived in that town Thursday in charge
of his brother, and the funeral services took
place Saturday. Letters written by DIR. Cros-
by-one of them dated as late as the day before
his death spoke hopefully of his condition,
and it was supposed that his death must
have occurred from hemorrbage; but it was
not SO. He had been attacked with a violent
pain in the region of the heart, and had him
self directed the application of mustard, saying
to the physician hastily summoned-"This is
the end of me-" The physician says he dis
covered that no air was entering the lower half
of his left lung. By DR.. Crosby's direction
another mustard poutice was applied TO the
back of his chest, and he soon felt easier. With
some stimulants, but no opiates, he slept qui-
city through the night, and about five O'Clock
in the morning requested that he might have
his breakfast early. He dropped asleep again
and never awoke, the attendant soon after dis
covering that he was dead

In reality Mr.. Dorticos is not special teach

Saturdays storm.

The irst serious storm of the winter oc-
Cured Saturday. Mt so much snow fell, but
in the latter part of the day the snow changed
to heavy sleet, which packed into the rail-
road cuts and impeded the trains. All told,
about fine inches of snow fell.
The Maine Central and Eastern trains were
not delayed over an hour, tho night Pullman
from Bangor having the hardest time. On the
Boston & Maine it was hard work. As fast as
plough would pass the sleet would blow in
behind it and block the road badly. The train
due at p. N. did not get in until 1890, and
the Sunday Herald train was delayed from
Rolipgsford down, not arriving until yester
day noon, when it had to turn right round and
return to Boston. The Portland & Ogdensbure
had large force of men all day yesterday
clearing tracks. Their train due at 10 .. m
Saturday night did not get in till 5 a. m. yes
terday, but the most Of the delay was caused
by the waiting for connection at Fsbyan's

Horrible Death of an Old Lady,

A few mornings since Mrs. Rhoda Mcdaniel,
of Cornville, 70 years Of sge, got up to build
her fire and returned to her bed. In short
time her clothing and bed clothes were found
to be on fire. Her husband, who is quite aged
and infrm, threw the bed clothes out of doors
and tried to put out the fire about his wife, but
she was fatally burned. The doctor who was
called found she could live but few hours.
Before his arrival she. thinking there was a
tight band about her throat, got the shears and
cut through the burned flesh leaving the vital
parts bare. At one time they thought she
would bleed to death. She had her reason SO
that she willed her property to her husband,
but soon after after became unconscious and
died

Miss Beckett and Miss Won Hillern are rep
resented in the gallery of Messrs. Williams &
Everett, Boston, which has been rehung since
the Phelps sale, by collection of their land
scapes which they have painted the past sea-.
in Virginia. The Herald says: The pic
lures are chiefly wood interiors, and there is
something of monotony in the exhibition, ow-
ing to the numerous repetition of the-one
theme by both the ladies. However, SO mas
sive and 'giantesque' are the trees they de-
scribe that one cannot fail to understand how
it was that they felt strongly the fascination Of
these grand subjects. The paintings are bet
ter, generally, than those of the last exhibit
ton, but we should like to see less unanimity
OF feeling and style in the work OF the artists.
The paintings have an exceptional solidiy,
without blackness, but the color lacks trans
parency, mellowness and harmony The per-
spcctve of the wood interiors is very good.
One may look into the woods and feel the ro-
tundity Of the immense trees and the atmos-
phere about them. There is an impressive
suggestion, too, of the grandeur and largeness
of nature in these pictures, but the general
sombreness of their tone needs the 81 liyening
influence of relief. Both painters have intro
duced the figure of a monk into their wood in
teriors, seeing in their broad and solemn quail
ties an appropriate setting for the representa-
ton of Longfellow's Monk Felix and the St.
Meinrod of Montalem bert's legend.

hbitiop of photographs belonging to Mr.. De-
Witt, at the Society of Art rooms, drew a

Gospel Mission Anniversary.
Last evening the Gospel Mission was dense-
ly packed with very large congregation, it
being the third anniversary OF Christ Faith
Church, an organization the result of the work
at the Mission under Rev. s r. Pearson. The
pastor gave very interesting resume of the
work for tue past year. By the report we
learn that this chuich is non-sectaran; that
622 meetings have been held during the past
year, 436 had received prayers, and $40 names
were added to the pledge. During the year
Rev. S. f. Pearson has baptized A converts,
made SOL visits upon the poor, attended 10
funerals and solemnized II marriages There
were 80 watchers furnished, and in a number
of instances provisions, fuel, clothing, medi-
cine, and money for rent have been furnished.
We are glad to learn that. the church is free
from debt and in very prosperous condition,
with good Sunday school.
