Another death at the poor farm,
Fanny Sandcrson, 81 years, $40 years
at the poor house. Her father, Brian,
was one of the Oldest settlers of this
town. Fanny was the youngest of a
large family--all gone now. They
were not brilliant. but good, orderly
honest children. During her long life
at the poor farm she never complained
or gave an uncivil word to any one,
but always obedient and industrious.
To illustrate their wisdom. Their
father had heard that his children were
called foolish. He contradicted it by
saying that ''thcy knew as much as
both father and mother did," One of
the sons, who worked for neighbor
in haying, was sent for the oxen in
great haste, when he returned, all of a
sweat, and said he found the oxen, but
could find no "pastured bars" and
wanted to know where the bars were
the cattle were in an untenced COM
mon. Many such stories were related
of the family.

Out in New York those top-lofty,
high-heeled mugwumps say that the
election of Davenport will be the en-
dorsement of Cleveland, and he is 60
ing to iudorse himself by voting for
Hill. This voting the republican ticket
to endorse an out-and-out democratic
president is genuine mugwump logic,
and needs no calculation. The genus
are unlike any other | odies in the po-
litical armament, and are never con-
sistent unless inconsistent. The fact
that they were democrats last year was
evidence enough that they would be re-
publicans this year, and next year they
are as likely to embrace Mormonism
as anything else.- Hanover Gazette.

A SAD CASE. --Charles Carlisle. a
well known and respected citizen, came
to his death at his own hands last Sun
day morning. Since the disposal of
his place and effects, preparatory to
going to California to make his future
home with his brother there. he board
ed with Mr.. Ed. Kenyon, on solth
road, near his old home. Last Sun
day morning Mr.. Kenyon noticed that
he was little low spirited, but OF
course thought of nothing serious, and
after breakfast went away aud was
gone II couple of hours. On his return
he inquired for Charles, and the folks
told him they had not seen him for an
hour or two. He instituted a search and
found him hanging by rope from a
beam in the barn, and thinks he must
have been dead an hour or two. He
had settled up his business, got Supt.
Porter to engage a sleeping car for him
for California, wrote his brother. and
was intending to start the next day.
The last talk we had with him, last
Friday, he said he was sorry to leave
Woodstock, and presumed no place
would seem so much like home to him
We did our best to cheer him up, and
told him it would do him good to take
trip out there, rub against people,
get the rust of living retired life off,
and if he did not like out there to come
back to the old place, as he had money
enough to spend the remainder of his
days in ease and comfort, He agreed
with us and said he would try it, but
we saw he had no heart in the move.
Mr. Carlisle was one of our Oldest and
most upright citizens, a perfect man in
every way, no man could say aught
against him, and his death is deeply
lamented by all who knew him. He
was Il years ofagc. The funeral was
held at the Christian church Tuesday
Rev. Moses Kidder officiating, and his
remains were taken to Norwich for
burial by the side of his wife, who has
been dead many years, and for whom
he had strong attachment, even % the
close of life's sad ending.
