Mrs. Edwin Martin MARY G. Thomas) of

week, departed this life at her residence in
this village on Tuesday night of last week,
after long and painful illness. The deceas-
ed was born at Murray, Orleans Co., N. Y. OH
the 29th day of August, 1881, and on the
14th day of October, 1852, was married to
Edwin Martin of Forestville, Nd, where they
resided during the first year of their married
life when they removed to Hindsburgh, Or
leans county, N. Y. In September, 1866
they removed to this village, where they have
since resided. Mrs. Martin was most esti-
mable lady and will be sincerely mourned by
large circle of relatives and friends. Tho
funeral exercises were conducted by Rev. II.

What Causes TT?
[Bg Bee. II. JCest.l


The beautiful glow of the twilight scenes,
at times when the clouds do not obscure the
vision, has awakened in the public mino no
small degree of interest, and desire to az
certain If possible the cause OF such a
singular and beautiful phenomenon. Some
have told us that our planet is passing
through the tail of comet. Others think
1t onllnous of some fearful scourge or epi-
demic. Another class think it may be the
precursor Of some great national calamity.
which they con lecture is in the near future
and still others call upon the watchman TO
tell Us "what of the night, and what its
signs of promise are,' thinking it may bo
like an alarm trumpet to rouse the Christian
world TO more active diligence in the great
work of winning souls to Christ, while
others are of the opinion that it is sign of
Christ's second coming.
But all these conjectures, no doubt. come
very far short of the real cause. Undoubt-
edly the phenomenon is the result of natural
causes, SO no one need be alarmed, in the
least degree. 1t should be remembered that
the perihelion of four great planets in our
solar system Is an event-so we are told
which has not occurred in more than
400 years. 1t would be very natural, there
fore, to conclude that this would impregnate
the ether, above the atmosphere of our
planet, with q new element, and the reflec-
ton and refraction of the suns rays. in
passing through this element, would throw
new scene Of grandeur upon our morning and
evening twilight. 1t is quite possible that
this beautiful halo may be q new blending
Of the colors of the rainbow.
