Mrs. Carrie, wife of Lewis r. Nc
Duffee of this town, died Monday
morning after long and distressing
sickness from consumption. She was
patient sufferer and showed a chris
tian fortitude during her long trial.
Mrs. McDuffee was the daughter of
John B. Woodward, who was for many
years one of our most esteemed citi-
zens. Three sisters Ellen, Anna and
Sophia have gone before her. James
l.. Woodward of Chicago, the only
survivor of the family, reached here in
season to be present at the funeral on
Wednesday. Notwithstanding the
storm of snow and rain there was
very large attendance at the funeral
services which were conducted by Rev.
A. j. Hough in most acceptable man
ner at the home of Mr.. McDuffee. The
deceased leaves husband and two
Young children to mourn their great
loss. Mrs. McDuffee was beloved by
all who kne v her for her gentleness
and sweetness of disposition. Her
husband is greatly afflicted, and is him
self suffering from an illness that has
at times Frustrated him.
Last Saturday morning one of the
most copious snow storms occurred
here which has been known at this sea-
son for long time. At 10 O'Clock in
the forenoon the ground was covered
to the depth of five inches and the
sleigh bells sounded as if some Of the

For the benefit of our personal
friends we feel called upon to disclaim
the authorship of the above and conse-
quently have not gone crazy. The To-
cal editor committed the deed. We

perience will compel him to come

Last Monday night the committee of
from Orange County had a
nearing on the proposed change of
shire. The difficulty of reaching Chel-
sea was urged by Mr.. Stearns as the
greatest objection to it as a shire town.
Mr.. Boyden of Randolph claimed that
he agitation was begun by Chelsea as
IN issue in county politics on which the
senator's were elected, and had to take
'ides against division. Petitions s
lgainst change not expressive of the {
general wish. At one term docket =

are willing to pay literally
owards the expense incurred in chang $
ng. Chelsea does not accommodate
probate court, and supreme court has
lot been held there for two years. Mr..
Darling apologized for the hotel ac- ?
ommodations and promised it to be
letter in the future, and said Chelsea n
would have railroad in ten years."
lr. Watson urged the committee to a
onsider the case as an impartial jury, d
nd give an unprejudiced opinion on d
he interest of the whole county. That :.
he remonstrance from Newbury does i
ot amount to much as she is an old t'
ival of Bradford. Bradford would a
