Obituary.

events which have recently befallen sew
eral families in Montpelier, clouding with
gloom even the season of holiday festivities,
is the sorrow which has come to the house
hold of our esteemed townsman, Denison
Dewey, in the death of his youngest son,
Perley-a sorrow which has touched many
hearts outside the circle of his relatives, to
whom his gentleness, geniality and amiabil-
ity had greatly endeared him. His mu-
sical talent and companionable qualities
had brought him into intimate association
with numbers of young men who will seri-
ously miss him; and his artistic taste and
skill and conscientious application were
rapidly qualifying him for superior attain
ments In the line of his calling. Attacked
by disease he failed to heed seasonably its
earlier symptoms, and when at length he
yielded to it and gave up his work, it was
too late for remedies to avail, and he
passed away even before his sickness was
known generally among his friends. Deep
sympathy is felt for his parents and the sur
viving brother and sister, in whose hearts
this bereavement awakens afresh the grief
of ten years ago, when, under similar cir
cumstances, their son and brother, Arthur,
was called cup higher" The funeral was
attended last Sunday afternoon, the music
being rendered by quartette of male
voices, and the Montpelier cornet band, of
which the deceased had been member,
performing escort duty without instruments.

WALLAcE.-Mary l.. Wallace, wife of DR..
Matthew p. Wallace, died in Cabot, Decem-
Der 10, at the age of siXty-six years. Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace were married January g.,
1889, and began housekeeping at once in
the home they have ever since occupied
Mrs. Wallace was peculiarly constituted to
cultivate and adorn ahome-diffident, shrink
ing from prominence in society, yet never
lacking in neighborly, kind offices. Her sus-
capabilities were keenly alive for the beau
tiful and the good. Her house was graced
with many rich and rare plants and flowers,
as was also the garden, in its season, in great
profusion. The flowers knew her as their
friend and dispensed their beauty and fra
GRANGE in answer to her skilful, fostering
hand. Though she loved them, they by no
means took her heart from her family and
friends. To these she devoted herself with
unwearying care and loving service. She
was Christian from her youth-putting her
trust in him who is the Resurrection and
the Life" Funeral services were held at
the house on Sunday, December 81, amid a
large concourse of friends. To her husband
and to her daughter (who is an only child),
her sudden death is heavy sorrow. A large
circle of friends and neighbors will sorely
feel the loss.
PAINE.-Chauncey G.. Paine of Cabot died
in that place December D. aged thirty-eight
years. The deceased, who was a farmer,
went to the woods TO work, on the morning
of the 18th, in his usual health. Shortly
after this he was attacked with a severe
pain in the bowels and returned home.
Medical aid was summoned, but no perma-
great sufferer until the following Monday,
when he passed gently away. a post-niOr-
tenn examination showed the cause of his
death to be the lodgment of black cherry
stone in the small pocket at the end of the
large intestine. The cherry was eaten last
September. He had felt nothing of it until
the day he was taken sick. Mr. Paine was
a man that enjoyed the confidence of his
townsmen, being honest and upright in his
dealings with his fellow-men He has been
taken from his family at a time when he
seemed to be most needed by them, and
they have the heartfelt sympathy of the
community in their deep afiliction. F.
ENRIGHT. Julia, wife of Rev. A. B. En-
right, died in Cabot, December 10th. In
the few months she had been with us she
, won the love and esteem of all with
whom she came in contact, and her gentle
, and lovable qualities of mind and heart
We're fully appreciated. The last three
months of her life We're filled with great suf-
fering, borne with Christian patience and
resignation, and her peace and confidence
in an Almighty Savior remained unshaken
to the last. The home which her presence
blessed is left desolate, but while her hus-
, band and children greatly mourn her loss
, they feel that for her death is eternal gain
