Death of Mrs, Goodell.

On Friday evening last Mrs. E. A.
GOodell, who has been ill with con.
sumption for more than a year,
passed to her final rest, mourned by
a devoted husband, and three daugh
ters of her own immediate family,
and scores of friends and neighbors,
by whom she was beloved. While it
has been evident for weeks that she
WAS nearing her end, the shock was
not mitigated. She leaves three
daughters, aged sixteen, seven and
three years respectively, who will
find homes with friends, Mrs. Pierce,
the mother Of Mrs. Goodell, who ar
rived from Vermont two weeks ago,
taking the two younger with her to
jamestown, D. T., where the little
ones have relatives who will give
them excellent home1. Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodell were married in Vermont
ten years ago, and have resided in
this locality for the past seven years
-four years in this village. During
that time ST. has been in poor health
but no serious symptoms appeared
until after the death of an infant
child, one year ago. The sympathy

Seventh Day Adyentists,

Since the Sevsnth-Day Adventist
preachers, now holding forth in this
place, have gone back on their for
mer custom, as a people, in allowing
and even counting investigation of
the strange doctrines they advocate.
I wish to say to the people of Sank
Centre that will on next Sunday
evening, in Barnum's Hall, review
their position on the Sabbath ques-
ton, and undertake to show that
their position on that subject is
without foundation either in the
bible or in history. The large audience
at the hall Sunday evening indicates
a strong desire in this community to
hear the other side of the question
being discussed at the tent.
