aAMBETrA.s DEATH

The Cause Of the Great BtaessmAn's FAX.

A Paris special gives the following
version of the causes leading directly TO
the death Of Gsmbetta, IS related by
friends of the dead statesman, setting
aside the old story of pistol shot fred
at him by the mother Of his son, which
is strongly denied: The most plausible
version is. that after having received an
accidental wound in the forearm, he
became impatient at his detention ct
home, which was intensified by the
alarming stories regarding his condition
which filed the press, and by others
of more annoying nature which his
enemies INDUCED in. The wound was
healing nicely but his desire to appear
in public to silence his enemies grew
so that he requested DIR. LeuneleOTgHe
to stop surpuralion, which be uid,

Gambetts, but to which he was deaf

the outrageous reports in circulation.

Obituary..

The subject of the following notice,
which we clip from the Mankato,
(Minnesota) Free Press, was daugh-
ter of Mr.. Il. M. Gilbert, of Edinburg,
where she formerly lived, and where
she leaves many friends to mourn her
death:
1t is with deep sorrow that we record
the death of Mrs. Eliza F. Rogers,
wife of Edwin Rogers, which occurred
at her home on Wednesday last, the
7th inst, at II O'Clock, M.
Mrs. Rogers was born in Portage,
Ohio, 1S45, and when very young be-
came a teacher in the public schools.
In 1860 she entered Hiram Institute,
Ohio, and was present when Garfield
resigned his position as theshead of the
institution and entered the army. She
afterward entered Eureka College, Ill
course, taking the honors in Greek.
In 1869 she opened school for young
ladies in Rock Island, ILL.,, in which
she was very successful, but poor health
compelled her to give up the enterprise
She spent four years in Garfield, o.,
and seven years in Mankato, and a
very noble, pure, ambitious, self-sac-
rlficiug life has closed its eatrhIy ca
reer. She became member of the
Christian Church when fourteen years
of age, and was ever devoted follower
of Christ. There Was never any malice
in her heart. She was always forgiv,
ing. She possessed an exceedingly
tender regard for all, every soul had a
home ia her affections, and many poor
aud destitute wherever she has lived
will testify to her deeds of mercy and
of love. Her memory is blessed, and
the sympathies of this community
reach out to console the widowed hus-
band and motherless children in this
hour of sadness and desolation.

On Tuesday evening of last week,
when the bright silver moon was shin
ing down in all its splendor, and the
atmosphere was like
THE Winters calm which ushers in the
Spring."
large number of ladies and gentle
men were seem vending their way
eastward, and, arriving at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. Knapp,
on Clinton Avenue, they received ad-
mittance, and gliding in by twos and
fours, dozens and scores, they WdltZed
from room to room, till the happily
SURPRISED family found their mansion
filled with joyous friends who had re-
membered that Mrs. Knapp had never
had birthday party, and the family
never surprise party. The genial
host and hostess took in the situation
with a cheerful good will, and all
joined in the grand racquet of hand
shaking, laughter and merriment. The
evening was spent in happy, social
enjoyment, many participating in
games OF whist, euchre, &C., while all
were delighted with fine selections of
music rendered by Mr.. 81. V. Knapp
upon the violin, accompanied by Mrs.
H. V. Knapp upon the piano and their
son, Frank, upon the cornet. Refresh
ments were served in abundance, after
which, about the midnight hour, the
unbidden guests of these good friends
bestowed their good wishes upon both,
and hoping for Mrs. Knapp the enjoy
ment of many returning birthdays,
they departed, leaving as tokens of
their esteem and remembrance, one of
Bradley & Hubbard's fine Hanging
Lamps, and a fine engraved glass
water set, for which the recipients
were most gratefully thankful, and
know in reality, that '''Tis Sweet to
