Aaron Burr's Defalcation

Mrs. Sarah Daisy Burroughs, probably
the oldest resident OF this city, who died
last Thursday at her residence, No. 2l3
West Thirty second street, aged 100 years,
before her death Did q rem arkable ory OF
alleged defalcation OF Aaron Burr. The
two aged surviving daughters OF Mrs
Burroughs c0rroDorate their mothers
story. The old lady was born in the houoe
of her uncle, General Philip SCHUYLER, cor
ner of Wal aud Nassau streets. Her hns-
band was a captain in the war OF 1872.
Just previous 10 his death, Mrs. Burroughs
saws, she placed in tho hands OF Aaron
Burr title deeds and papers to an
estate in the south, lett her by her
father, John Daisy. Shortly aiser
getting the papers Burr fought the cele
brated duel with Hamilton and hen disar
pearsd, taking with him, 1t is said, all
records in the case. Mrs. Burroughs was
never able to recover any benefit from The
estate, and was forced TO earn her living by
dress making. OF course she attended the
funeral of George Washington. Her daugh.
tiers attributed their mothers longevity to
no system OF correct living. She went to bed
when she was sleepy, got up when she
awoke, worked frequently all night, ate
auy thing at any time when che was hungry,
and taken all in oil lived rather irregularly.
She never used glasses and retained her.eye-
sight to the last. She was buried Friday in
Evergreen cemetery.

Choose Health or sickness.

Those who desire and appreciate health
should be as willing TO make some effort TO
secure it as they do to obtain the other good
things which increaes the pleasures OF life.
Pure water Ia essentially necessary TO good
health. All wells, cisterns and springs
should be thoroughly cleaned in the early
spring or in the autumn. The usual meth
cd OF placing large stone on the top OF the
cistern is injurious to the water unless an
aperture IL left in the stone and fitted with
a wooden cover. The air should not be
wholly excluded from the cistern. else
moldy conditions will predominate, al
though perhaps not apparent, and the
water will not be wholesome and In It some.
times there may be found various kinds Of
insects and reptiles. Water is the natural
drink of all living creatures. and 1t serves
several important purposes in the animal
economy. Firstly, it repairs the loss OF
the aqueous part OF the blood caused by
evaporation and the action Of the secreting
and inhaling organa. Secondly, 1t Is a
solvent OF various elementary substances,
and therefore assists the stomach in diges-
ton, though II taken In very large quaint.
ties il may have an opposite effect by d.
luting the gastric juice. Thirdly, 1t is a
