Sad S2Lici6e.

Last Wednesday the startling news
was carried from lip to lip that Mrs.
Julius Wieseman had committed suicide
by taking dose of strychnine. A visit
to her home on Third street, Second
ward, proved that the report was, alas,
too true and that Mrs. Wieseman had
indeed destroyed herself 1t appears
that at about noon Mrs. Wieseman i'm
parted to the hired girl the shocking
intelligence that she had just then taken
teaspoonful of strychnine and re-
quested that her children be taken care
of after her decease. The affrighted girl
alarmed the family at once and medical
aid, in the persons of Drs. Spalding and
Eyer, was summoned Immediately. The
efforts used by the physicians to save the
unfortunate woman's life were unavail-
ing. The family relations of Mrs. VIE
seman were of the pieasantest character
nor is it known that she had ever had
any troubles, that would prey upon her
mind to the extent of causing her to
take Der own life. A sickness, however,
some Is years ago had left her somewhat
weak in both body and mind and this is
the only circumstance that can be traced
as cause for the rash act. Mrs. Wiese.
man was 56 years of age and leaves a
husband, two sons and two daughters, her
children all being grown.

Tribute of Love and Respect to Our
Departed Brother, Eden Muzy.

To, the Worshipful Master and Brethren of
Warren Lodge F. and A. NJ:
We your committee appointed to
draft appropriate resolutions relative to
the death of our beloved brother,
Eden Muzzy, which occurred June 19,
at 7:15 p, M, beg leave to submit the
following: rdi
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from our
presence our beloved brother, Eden
Muzzy, who suffered long and much
without even murmur or complaint,
but was wholly submissive that the
Lords will be done, and after a life of
usefulness and honor, esteemed and
loved by all who knew him, he has
beer called from labor to rest, to that
celestial lodge above In answer to the
summons of the Grand Master of the
universe, and while we shall miss our
brother, we feel assured that no tribute
of ours can repair the loss sustained by
his brethren and friends, and that no
eulogy of ours can fill the vacancy his
death has created in our hearts, yet
there is melancholy pleasure in dis
charging this last sad but affectionate
duty to his memory. Therefore,
Resolved, That while calmly submit
ting to his death as in accordance with
the unerring decree Of benevolent
and all,wise Heavenly Father, we do
most sincerely deplore the loss Of one
so much respected and beloved.
Resolved, That as the brightest and
dearest hopes of this bereaved family
now lie deeply buried from mortal
eyes, we do deeply and earnestly sym>
pathize with them in this the saddest
hour of their affliction, and while our
tears have been freely and unrestrain-
edly mingled with theirs, we would
fain say something to soothe the an
guish of their hearts by pointing them
upward.
Resolved, That these resolutions,
which are but a faint echo of our feel.
ings, be entered upon our records, that
blank page of the Journal be devoted
to his memory, and that we wear the
usual badge ofmourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso.
lutions be sent to the bereaved family
of our brother, and to the New Era for
publication, and request the Standard
to please copy. Fraternally and re.
pectfully submitted.

canvassed the Collins river country in
the interest of said nursery, last week,
and sold about $3.50. 90 worth of fruit

ducing section of Warren county, and
the orchard men up there would not
patronize nursery they did not know
to be in every way reliable. Mr..
Young has now sold in Warren and
adjoining counties, for fall delivery,
about $500 worth of trees. Mr..
Young attended the closing exercises
of Trying College on Thursday and
Friday, June 26th and 9th, and was

Few things are of more Importance
to the farmer than the weather, and
farmers generally will remember Henry
G, Vennor, the Canadian weather
prophet, who died in Montreal, June
Sth, 1884. His celebrity as a prog.
nosticator of the weather dates from
1878, when he predicted green
Christmas and muddy New Year in
Canada. His prophecy was fulfilled,
and he was famous before he was pre-.
pared for it and since that time he
has made many predictions, making a
sufficient number of hits to convince
them that he knew more than any of
them about the coming Gains and
storms. Mr.. Vennor was an ornitholo,
gist of some celebrity. He published
in 1875 a book entitled "Our Birds of
Prey."-Am. Farm and Home.
