Mrs. Arson Miller died at her

aged 81 yrs, C months and u days,
after months Of suffering, which she
bore with patience. The funeral was
held at the house the following Sab

Never before was the community so
filed with sadness aud all expressed
their sympathy by their presence at
the home; also friends from Salina,
at the Gypsum Hill Cemetery where
her remains were interred. Mrs. L.

Sept, l, 1854, at Waupun, Wis. and
married to Arson Miller, April, %,
1871. She leaves a devoted husband,
one son and four daughters-the
youngest being G months old-near

which she was much endeared. Mrs.
Miller was one Of brilliant talant,

In the dawn Of her usefulness, in the
light and beSuty Of her early woman
hood, while yet the half-blOwn buds
Of hope and promise hung fresh upon
her brow, she passed the dim border

strived to make better. Her soul was
ever entraneed by melody, and love
Of the beautiful was with her a wor.
ship. Though Of a light, physical
frame, she forgot her own inirmities
in Der desire for the safety and hap
piness Of those the loved. The strong
affection and equally strong will she
possessed blended in a lofty heroism,
which literally yanquished WEAKNESS
and ustained her amid trials from
which many Of more rugged mould
would have shrunk in despair. Her
spirit was q beautiful flower that

The eclipse Of the sun which oe-
CURED on Monday, attracted less at
tention than is usual with such phe-
nomena, on account Of the thick
clouds which covered the sky during
the greater part OF the day. The
principle effect which was especially
noticeable was the extreme coldness
Of the atmosphere connected with the
diminution Of the solar ray. The
different phases Of the eclipse were
noted ss carefully as the haziness
would permit, at the University
building, three rooms ia the south
west corner being appropriated 10 the
different observers with their instru-
ments. The commencement was
noted at 1O:Is, and the close at about
l IA. The eclipse was only partial,
being 29-46 Of the suns diameter, and
at the middle moments the sun ap-
peared much like the new moon with
lie crescent horns pointing upward.
The moons size being a very little
less In appearance than the suns

he was forced to give up his chosen

gaining his health. Not being bens-
fitted much from his travels he went

He appeared TO be getting better Of his
