The following relative to DR.. and
Mrs. Bartlett will be of interest:
DR.. I'll. c. Bartlett, who was lost on
the City of Columbus last Friday
morning, was son of the late Hon.
Thomas Bartlett, a native of this vii
lage, and As years of age. He re-
ceived his academic education here,
with the exception of few terms at
the Newbury Seminary. He studied
medicine and graduated with honor
at the Homeopathic college in Phila-
delphia. He commenced practice at
Marblehead, Mass, where he re-
manned one year, then went to Lynn
and practiced about two years. He
married Miss Sarah Brown of Mar
blehead, on account of her health,
left Massachusetts and came to his
old home some Is years ago, and
Lyndon has been his residence ever
since His wife was a daughter of
the Nj. Brown who owned Marble
head neck, on which site a summer
residence has grown up during the
past dozen years, making the prop
erty very valuable. His wife was
heir to three-ffths of the income
from her fathers property. AS she
was an invalid the Doctor dropped
his professional work, and gave his
entire attention to caring for her,
spenning the summers on the sea-
coats or in the mountains. Two
weeks ago he had completed ar
engagements for spending the winter
| in Florida, from whence he intended
to 90 to Ration, New Mexico, to
spend the summer. After visiting a
week in Boston, he took the City of
Columbus on Thursday afternoon for
Florida. I'll. M Pearl was the last
of his Lyndon friends to bid him
good-by. Pearl was in Boston and
accompanied him to the boat. Mr.
Pearl says that Horace and his wife
were in the best of spirits and antici-
pated much pleasure in the voyage.
The friends of Mrs. Bartlett tried to
dissuade them from taking the boat
at this season of the year, but that
route was doubtless chosen as prom
1slng more comfort and less fatigue
than the route by rail. But it was
the fatal choice. DR.. Bartlett was a
man of excellent mind and an affable
gentleman. His was an accomplish
ed woman. Their tragic death is
severe shock to all who knew them.
DR.. Bartlett's mother, nearly 80
| years old, is a resident of this vii
lage. In her terrible affliction she
has the heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire COMMUNICATION.
Congress is considering measures for
the suppression of such newspapers
as publish lottery advertisements.
Union man will have to stand from

An alarm of fire was given in this
village at about haIf-past two O'Clock
last Tuesday morning, which proved
| to be in the basement of the MethO-
dist chapel. 1t was well under way,
| and no efforts awaited to save the
building from speedy destruction.
| The fire then communicated from
this to the buildings of the bank,
and the house was at once cleared of
| furniture, and all valuable documents
removed or slowed away in the vault.
These buildings were also quickly
consumed by the fire iend. The Or
ioin of the fire is as yet an unsolved
mystery, as no fire had been in the
church since Sunday evening. Upon
opening the vault everything was
found in good condition. This is
the second time this vault has been
through the fire, and saved its con-
tents from destruction. 1t is to be
noted that in this fire no damage was
done by acater. In fact no water
was used on this occasion. 1t was
strictly tetotal entertainment. No
insurance on the church, but the
bank buildings and contents and
insured for $4,000, and Mr.. Mat
tock's furniture for 81, 100. The
loss falls severely on the NJ. E. So
ciety as they had but recently repair
ed their chnrch, put in a new carpet,
and $500 dollar organ.
