OBITUARY.


Mrs. Hannahette B. Sheldon died Il
her home, in Dorset, October 9th, 1886, 81
the age Of sixty.three years. She was q
daughter Of Mr.. Trumble Kent, and was
Of . parentage and ancestry marked NOT
only by fine social qualities and patriotic
impulses but by earnest religious charac.
ter and devotion. But her religion was
not merely an inheritance; IL was chosen
principle, o cherished habit. constant
characteristic and adornment OF her life.
Hers was faith that wrought by, was
proved by good works, and was able to
overcome this world while il laid hold upon
the world to come. She was . much
valued member Of the church In Dorset
for nearly twenty-five years, and WAS pre-
viously for time connected with the Con-
gregalional church in Manchester. She
was in constant and cordial sympathy with
Christian truth, the work OF the Gospel,
and the welfare OF the church OF Christ,
and by the consistent testimonies OF her
lips and life aided much 10 the pro-
motion OF the sacred cause. She was
endowed with remarkable sweetness Of
disposition, refinement OF manner, and
her sincere friendship and generous hos
pitality made friends Of all in the circle Of
her acquaintance. Not only did her virtues
adorn and regulate her years OF health and
prosperity, but in time OF suffering and
b bereavement her piety waxed brighter and
stronger. The first severe stroke was the
sudden death OF her only daughter Of es.
Unable character, Mrs. George II. Phelps
less than two years after marriage. Her
excellent husband, Mr.. Aaron s. Sheldon.
died four years ago, leaving to her, how
ever, two sons, in whose affection and
faithful attendance she was permitted TO
rejoice to the last hour Of her life. Her
last sickness was protracted and painful,
but in all its progress she developed
beautiful patience, trust, and heavenly
hope. While retaining her habitual in

Why Crime Increases.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
Noticing your article in the GLOBE of the
18th inst, entitled Murder Increasing"
you say ''the number of murders in 1884,
as given in the record of vital statistics,
was 1887 as against $3.50 in 1883. The
question at once suggests itself. why are
such conditions possible?" While we do
not care to discuss the defects of our legal
system for the repression of crime, we
would like in this connection to make a
suggestion which, if investigated, may lead
to a knowledge of the cause of the con-
stantly increasing crime record of our
country. 1t is notorious fact
that three-fourths, at least, of all
the murders in this county are committed
by persons while under the influence of in
toxicating liquors; it is also notorious that
the sale of intoXicants in this country is on
the increase. The point we wish to make
is this, that the penalty prescribed by law
for murder does not operate to deter men
frenzied with liquor from the commission Of
this crime consequently legal remedies,
however certain, will only be punishment
to the individual and in no sense pre-
ventative or security to society.
GEORGE B. KINGSLEY.
