The estimable wife of John Sibley died at the family residence in this village, Sept. 27th, after long illness, in the six ty-fourth year of her age. Phila c. Chap man was born in Brooklyn, Windham county, Conn.,, July 7th, 1882. August 18th, 1843, she became the wife of John Sibley. They removed to Norwich some twenty years ago, where they have since resided. Deceased had been in failing health for four years past, although about year since she appeared much improved, and her friends had hopes of her recovery !; but last spring her malady returned, and since that time cloud has obscured her intellect. Although receiving every atten- tion which love could suggest or medical tskill prescribe, she continued 10 fail, until about one o'clock on Sunday morning last, when she was stricken with apoplexy, re- maining unconscious until near eleven o'clock Sunday morning, when her weary spirit was freed, and she was at rest. In all the relations of life Mrs. Sibley was an exemplary woman. She was for many years Q consistent member of the Baptist church in this place, and she enjoyed in & marked degree the esteem of all with whom she became associated. A loving wife, a fond mother, a kind neighbor, and friend to the poor and needy, her memory will long be cherished by those who best knew her. Her husband and two children sur vive her: Mrs. Charles H. Watts of this village, and James N. Sibley of Stafford Springs, Conn. Funeral services were held at the family residence at 43O D. m, Monday, conducted by Rev. Dr. Peck of Rirdsall- st. church. Ptv remains were conveyed to the D. l.. X w. depot, and left on the evening train for Stafford Springs, Conn.,, for burial beside those of her daughter, Mrs. James M. Lord, who died some years ago. They were accom- panied by the bereaved husband and daughter, Mrs. Watts.

The Flight Of HumminS-B Birds.

The humming-birds arc small (tho
largest species attaining to about tho
size Of II swallow, the smallest not
much larger than Il bumblc-bcc) and
of delicate structure. They arc famed
for their magnificent plumagc, which
almost always displays metallic tints
Their flight does not resemble that of
any of our native birds, being main
tanned by rapid vibrations of the
wings, which enables them to remain
apparently motionloss in one spot for
n considerable time. Their passage
from place TO place is Effected by ser
les Of rapid darts, almost too, swift for
the eye TO follow. Their flight might
perhaps be best compared to that OF a
moth. Like these insects, the hum
ming-birds hover for long over flow
or, slipping the honey with their long,
thin bill, and IN other particulars also
in color and form, for example
humming- and moths offer some
remarkable parallels. Representatives
of each may be found, to distinguish
between which needs close scrutiny,
and which, when on the wing, might
pcrplGx the best observer To all on t.
ward appearance the humming- birds
arc birds when at rest, insects when in
