DIED.

In NeIristown, at the residence OF
her nsice, Mrs. L. NJ. King, on the 9th
June, Mrs. ArLsEY COBB, relict of Ar
thur Cobb, aged eighty-seven years.
seven months and fourteen days.
She had been widow 90 years. Her
only daughter and child-except one
who died i'm infRncy-wAs the first wife
Of Col. Jno. Talbot, OF Jefferson csun-
ty. She died thirty years ago, leaving
no child. Thus are we called upon to
record the death OF another one of the
cid people Of another, and n former
generation. One whose memory reach
ed away back to the days when the In
dian lurked in the canebrske, and the
wolf and the panther roamed ever the
hills and mountains of upper East Ten
nesses, where she was born and raised.
She was the daughter Of Henry Massin-
gill, who was one of the very first set
tiers on the waters of the beautiful
wAtauga-now Sullivan ceunty-then
q part az North Carolina.
She was a woman OF uncommon force
of character; n true type Of the genera
ton to which she belonged. In point
Of phy steal strength and endurance, In
paint of native vigor of intellect
point Of iadomitable courage and will
power, there are none such made at the
present time.
A great many years ago she professed
religion and Joined the Methodist
church, and remained in connection
with that church till her death. She
was stricken dswn year age with
paralysis, which slowly but surely did
its work.
Peace to her memory. K.

years, causing the most destructive
flood since 1865. At Brooklyn, Pa, q
waterspout burst, and in less than two
hours the creek rose ten feet, trans
forming 1t into q Seething, foaming tor
rent. The rapid rise gave mill men no
chance whatever to save their stock.
The dams At North Fork, Bryant &
Way netight's and Litch Mills gave
way, carrying with them lumber valued
at $40, 900. Two bridges were washed
away, many small buildings demolish-
ed, and . number of families driven
from their homes and compelled to geek
shelter elsewhere for the night. In
Pittsburg the rise in the Allegheny was
very rapid, an9 q number of coal barges
were swept from their moorings, but
caught by towbOats uniniured. The
flood At BrOskville brought down about
80, 900 pieces of lumber. A New Mar

thunderstorm passed over that city do,
ing considerable damage. A boy nam
ed Mcintyre and q eompanisn, who took
