Death of Mrs. Snow.

Mrs. =. +. Snow, wife OF DIR. Snow, departed
this life on Monday, the 18th inst, after u
protracted illness.
Some three years since, and at the time Of
the terrific cyclone which passed over the
city, Mrs. Snow contracted u severe cold
through exposure to rain caused by the un.
roofing OF the Jas. Cannon building on Front
street, which ut the time was occupied by
herself and family as residence, since which
period she never SAW u well day. She was
first taken with erysipelas, then rheumatism
AMI finally a cancerOus affection set In which
finally terminated her earthly career.
Harriet McGrcw was horn IN Column
biana county, Ohio, October 1892, and was
married to DR. =. +. Snow i'm October 1851
On the sth day Of May, 1873, together with
her family, she settled in Mankato, and dur
ing the ten years residence here had made u
host of warm friends, whose hearts are
touched at her death and whose sympathies
go out toward the afflicted husband and
children thus bereaft Of kindred whose
place can ne'er be filled by another For
twenty-five years she was Deliver I'm the
Uniyersalist doctrine Of religious faith, and
her life was devoted to doing good un-
To others, and administering succOr to the
afflicted and distressed. As wife, she was
all that endearinv name implies, and as y
mother she was ever watchful after the care
full guidance of her Offsprings, tender Of
their feelings and indulgent to fault. Hav-
ing given birth to six children, she buried
two during her life time, and leaves four TO
mourn her departure from earth and glorify
God for the life everlasting that no has
vouchsafed unto the followers Of Christ.
Funeral services were held ut the family
residence OH Wednesday, conducted by Rev.
Mr. Pollock, and a large assemblage Of
friends were present to extend consolation tn
the bereaved and pay homage to the dead.

Our New Quarters.

The FREE PRESS takes pride in in
forming its numerous readers that II is
now snugly quartered in its new loca.
ton, corner Front and Jackson streets,
and prides itself on being little the
plcasantest printing Office in the State
Besides being more pleasantly situated,
it will he supplied witha quantity OF
new type which is now in transit, and
with none but tirst-class workmcn, the
quality of job printing turned out can
not be surpassed in the State. A new
and large stock of plain and fancy sta
tionery has just been rece ived, and GUS
toners can rely upon receiving the
latest of everything in the line of print
ing at very low figures.
In this connection it may not be out
of place to refer TO the new engine
which we recently purchased from Mr..
Geo. NJ. Palmer, ot this city, agent for
the Bookwa.ter." This machine is
one of the most noiseless, as it is one
of the most economical, engines made,
and It is all that the manufacturers
claim for it. We have given it thor
ough trial before passing judgment, and
have no hesitency in claiming it
equal in every respect to any We have
seen and superior to most engines that
We have handled or inspected. While
the Book walter" we have is only n
three and half horse power, 1t will
easily handle a cylinder press and a
half and eighth medium Gordon press
with from 35 to 40 pounds of steam.
This machine is not only adapted for
printing offices, but it is Just the thing
for creameries, feed mills, &c. 1t has
elements of recommendation other than
those noted, principal among which is
the very low price for which it is sold,
and it is SO simple in construction that
child can handle il with perfect
safety.

us in our new home, and bring in any
