Obituary,

A., Died, In stapleton. s. l., New York. 18th ult..
Henry w. and Clara F. Sawtelle, aged years and :
months.
The life of this interesting and beautiful
child, now ended on earth. was marked by
delicate health and physical suffering almost
from its commencement. The strong natur-
al affection of the parents was doubtless in
tensifed by this fact, and the amiable dispe-
sition and loving nature which characterized
her life. not only greatly endeared her to
them and the family circle, but attracted
many by whom she was seen and known be-
yond her home, and made her greatly be-
loved by large circle of friends DR.. Saw
telle is a native of Waterville in this county,
and is now in charge of the U. S. Marine
Hospital at Stapleton. His wife is the
daughter of Edward Fenno, formerly of this
city. They have the deepest sympathy of
their many friends and former acquaintance
and neighbors here, in the great sorrow which
has come to their household. The remains
were brought to this city and deposited in the
lot of Mr.. Fenno in Forest Grove Cemetery

Tennessee, Virginia ana Georgia, has
been interviewed, and says that the
Louisville and Nashville, Nashville. Chat
tanooga and St. Louis, and East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia railroads had
at length decided TO change the gauge OF
their tracks before June 1, 1886. The
gauge, which at present is 3 feet, win be
changed to feet 9 inches. The matter
has been discussed for several years, and
during the past twelve months or more
engines and cars have been bought with
this change IN view. After the change is
made car can start from Nashville and
go to any point IN the United States with
no need Of hosting. The Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company have now
eleven Moist on their system of roads, and
the change will bring great saving 20
them. To carry the change into effect it
will cost the Louisville and Nashville
road about $400, 900, as nearly as can be
computed, or 500 per mile, including
changes that must also be made in rolling
stock. On the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis line OF road there are sixty
