intended to reflect upon "a certain
professional" In the complimentary
mention of the s'American and It's
proprietors, from its extended reputa-
ton. as well as the writer's personal
experience, we heartily concur, but
the charge made against the profess

perfectly confident that any evidence
of the same exists only in fertile
IMAGINATION. We wish to close this
article with q word to the busy Cos
sips of this vicinity. Please lnvesti-

charges made and you will find them
incorrect. ONE Who KNOWS.

GLEED-Died, in Morrisville, Jar uary Is, Ellen
j. f. Gleed, aged 49,
Miss Ellen j. Fuller come to Nor
risville in 1857. She was precep-
tress in the Academy some four years
was married to 2. X. Gleed, Esq,
in 1862. She had two children, q
son and a daughter, both of whom
preceded her to the grave. Mrs.
| Gleed is we'll known to have been q
person of marked individuality. She
possessed an unusually active mind, q
| Quick and keen intellect, and a ready
command of language. She was de-
cided in her sympathies, strong IN hel
| likes aud dislil<es- It was not in -heI
nature to do or be anything half way
! Her vivacitv and enthusiasm cast 9
charm over whatever she was inter
ested in. Her mind was on the alert
| for truth, and when she found it she
treasured it. 1t was her motto to be
ever open to conviction, even at the
risk of any Inconsistency that might
be involved in such change of opin-
ion as is incident to true progress.
Her spirit of inquiry led her to probe
any topic of study to the bottom.
She was not satisfied until she had
exhausted the best literature o.
whatever theme eDgrossed her
thought. When she had thus OBJ
tanned the mastery of a subject and
made it her own she surrendered her
self in reverent loyalty to the author
ity of the truth. If there were any
obligations involved in it they must bt
fulfilled, as a matter of course. II
needs hardly to be said that her menta
traits made her career as a teacher
eminently successful; that her recita
ton room was never the nursery o
idleness it was no comfortable re
sort for drones. She made her pu
pills feel that books were to be stud
led, not slept over. Her vivacity o
manner inspired her classt with a spin
it of work. The very atmosphere o
the class room seemed pervaded wit
her scholarly enthusiasm.
Her devotion to the temper
auce cause was characteristic. Whel
once her interest was enlisted sh
sought at once whatever lgh
books could shed upon the subject
making the physiological effects Q
alcohol a matter of special investiga
ton. Besides other labors to awaB
en- an interest in the cause of ten
perance she lectured IN several places
as strength would allow, with plates
designed to illustrate the effects {
alcohol on the human system. Mrs
Gleed, with her husband, united wit
the Congregational church in 1872
Of late years her religious conviction:
having undergone some modification
have been clear and strong, and he
religious experience corresponding
marked and decided. Her feeling
followed her faith her conviction
moulded her experience, and what
; her became the central doctrines {
, the gospel, inspired her hopes an
= shaped her life. To her, Christ as
Saviour was intensely real. The hi:
toric Christ was no Pigment of tt
: Imagination no abstraction. Ht
2 heart went out to Him as to livin
Il person whom she hoped ere long
: see face to face. Her love for the pc
!. sonal Christ was manifest in intere
s in his cause. Her interest in ii
q cause of missions began in early Ii
and continued unto the end. Her il
: terest in the bible school was warn
b her delight in the services of the san
y tuary intense. Even after brain di
d ease had set its fatal seal upon b
o she could say with the psalmist IN
is soul longeth, yea, even fainteth Il
J. the courts of the lord" 1t is q I
d markable fact that when her mil
d was clouded and oppressed with t
lie fatal malady, it retained its normal
/ ton and was clear on religious theme
On Tuesday evening the soul that b
Of been struggling for more than t
q years with disease, obtained its fri
re dom. Gently as an infant loses
% self on it's mothers breast, she
