Private Telephones.


@. H. Cross has contracted for one of
HOlcomb's private-line telephones, for
use between his house and the st.
Johnsbury bakery. The cost of the
whole business will be about $35 Once
up and paid for the instrument, wires,
etc, belong to the buyer and is no
further expense except what little may
be required to keep the line in order.
Mr.. Cross puts the telephone up him
self, aud the company has faith enough
in it to send it on trial. If not perfect
ly satisfactory the whole thing can bt
returned. All the expense of the tria
is the cost of the wires and the bother
of the work which amounts to little.
The telephone is warranted to work
satisfactorily over a distance of ~
rods and it is claimed to be an i'm
provement on the old instrument with
in that limit. The experiment will bt
| watched with interest.

A Special Prize Question.

Here is problem that goes ahead OF
the Athen9um prize questions. If the

not make anything in st. JOhnsbury

how much more can they make in rent
ing 10 telephones at S42 year, How
much will they make in two years
How much in five ? Answers may be
forwarded to the American or Bell tel
ephone companies, either of which will
undoubtedly be glad enough to hand
over prize for a satisfactory solution
of the problem.

OBITUARY,

MOSES-At the residence of her pa
rents, D..B. and Anna Moses, Saturday,
January 18th, 1885, Grace Lucille, born
May 18th, 1882.
MARIA, daughter of Andrew and Eliz-
abeth HARRISON, and wife of William
Crane, departed this life of pneumonia
at the residence of her son in Cincinna-
ii, January 10th, 1885, aged Is years, 7
months and % days. She was born near
Eaton and lived upon the homestead I'M
til her marriage With Mr.. Crane, when
soon thereafter they took up their abode
in Cincinnati, where they continued to
reside until the husbands death, some
IS years 6 o There were four sons born
unto them-Calvin, Marcus, Clinton and
William-of which Marcus died after
reaching q years. Soon after the death
Of her husband Mrs. Crane removed with
her children to the farm, where she en-
deavored to teach them the fear of God
and how to be honorable, industrious
men. 1t is said that she never said "you
shall, !" but reasoned and persuaded them
in a motherly manner to take the better
plan OF way, and thus she commanded
their respect until death.
In the spring of 1864 she sold the farm
and went to Peru, Ind, where she con-
tinued to reside until Calvin and Clinton
returned to Cincinnati and William to
Chicago, after which she resided with
her children. She had been afflicted
with bronchitis for some time, but no
one thought her troubles serious until a
few hours before death. On Friday eve
ming before her death, on Saturday at
II 20 a. M, she talked freely and sent
loving words to her son and family by
Clinton, who that night went to his
brothers. home in Chicago. During the
after part of the night she took danger
ously i'll and a physician was summon
ed, but too late; the af1iction had done
its work and death soon claimed his vic
tim. She fell asleep peacefully and 81
lently as a ship dies away into the sky
at sea-a moment you see it and tits
gone to the heaven far away.
She and her husband united with the
Eaton Christian Church some 43 years
ago, both continuing their membership
during life. Her remains, ACCOMPANIED
by a number Of friends, we're brought to
the residence of her neice, Mrs. Wheeler
Frum, on Tuesday morning and the flu
neral took place in the afternoon from

Mr.. DeGroot was the youngest child OF
