 Mrs Mariette Lathrop, who died in South Coventry last Friday morning, was daughter of the late John Fuller of Staf- ford Springs, and a native of this village. She has here many near relatives, lnclud- ing brother and sisters, and large circle of friends. She was lady of culture and suitability, possessing endearing traits of character. Her husband, D. F. Lathrop, who died few years since, was well known manufacturer and insurance man, having business interests in South Coven- try. Hampden, and elsewhere. Mrs. La throp's death was very unexpected to friends here. Dr. Newton, her brother in-law, and Mrs. Newton and Dennis, her sisters, had been with her through what was supposed to be the dangerous part of her illness (pneumonia), and had returned home, desiring to be notified if all did not go we'll. Daily telegrams were all en- couraging, even that of Thursday evening. Friday morning came word that she had died. --. .......

 SJ. R. Buck of Stafford Street had a marrow escape yesterday, being attacked by bull belonging to John Foster. He was thrown down, but managed to grasp his hands into the animals nostrils, and was showed some distance upon the ground. His cries called aid, which came just as the animal had got him near tight fence, where he would have had him at decided disadvantage. The bull had always before seemed peaceable, and WAS probably ex- cited by the smell of blood upon MT. B's. clothes, which had been worn while slaugh- tering. .----.
