From the Danville Qn.l Commercial

From the Danville Qn.) Commercially
Miss Ellen G. Barnett was the daughter of
Rev. Eli Barnett, an honored minister of the
NJ. E. church for si1ty-fve years. She was
born in Westville, New Haven county, Ct,
March 26, 1881. At the age of ten years her
young heart quietly opened to the influence
of religious truth, and in her childhood SIM
plicity and sincerity she consecrated her life
to Christ, and while alone without counsel or
instruction from anyone, she entered into the
Joyous persuasion that she was a child of God
and an heir of eternal life. And under the
influence of this persuasion she lived,
worked and suffered for forty-6ve years.
Her incipient Christian example grew into
broad, generous and well balanced Christian
character, which she maintained untarnished
until she was called to her reward. She was
a women of refined and cultivated literary
taste and great worker in the church and
in the cause of temperance. For several
years she was the president of the State Or
ganization of the W. G. T. q. of her native
State. She was a member OF
the same organization in this city,
and also of the order of Good Temp
lars She was untiring in her efforts for the
moral and spiritual elevation of her race.
For a number of yesrs she suffered from
heart disease, and in consequence performed
her self-imposed tasks of Christian useful
ness under great suffering, and with no small
degree of peril to her earthly life. But she
maintained constantly joyous anticipation
of final deliverance in Christ. When her
last sickness care and death summoned her
hence she responded in triumph and
ascended to her Lord. She died on Thursday.
October 21st, and her remains were laid to
rest in Springhill cemetery on Saturday, Oc-
tober 23d, 1886. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. James Miller, pastor of
Kimber NJ E. church, at the residence of
her sister, Mrs. w. 81. Cowap, and her fam
lily have the sincere sympathy of large cir
Gle of friends in their great bereavement.

About four O'Clock THURSDAY, afternoon some men
fishing Yellow mill bridge when their
attention was attracted to curious looking object
sticking up out of the water below the bridge. 1t
looked like the head of gigantic snake. and a sec
ton three or four feet long was in view. While they
looking at it and trying to get into position to
get nearer and better view it moved on down the
channel towards the open barber and Sound. The
party positive they not deceived in it, but
saw something, and inclined to think it the
much-talked Of sea serpent.

These four stocks furnished nearly forty per cent.
OF the whole business to 12 O'Clock and recorded
advances ranging from u to 21s per cent. The ad,
vances in the stocks named were due mainly to
special causes. The coal stocks group were

THE NoRTHFIELD KNIFE CoMPANY'S SUIT.
United States Attorney L. E. Stanton has
recently brought suit in the name of the
United States against the Mortified Knife
company, of Litchfeld county, to recover
fifteen penalties of 81 ZOO each for importing
fifteen laborers from Sheffield, England, in
July last. The claim is that agents of the
company went over and made separate con-
tracts with the mon to perform labor in the
factory of the company at Litchfeld. The
men say that their passage over was paid
by the company. There is a law of Congress
prohibiting the importation of foreigners
under contract to work in this country. 1t
was passed in February, 1885. There is
another law against importing paupers.
The papers in the case were served on
Thursday by Marshal N. D. Bates and the
suit is returnable to the Circuit court at New
Haven on the fourth Tuesday of April, 1887.
The Hon. A. P. Bradstreet, of Thomaston,
appears for the defendants.

Convict
Pagan, the life convict who escaped from
the State prison few days ago, is still at
large. He is thought to be hiding some
where near Hartford. The sheriffs and con-
stables up Hartford way are very busy look
ing for clues. Pagan was sent up for life
for killing man in New Haven. 1t is said
that resident of We:hersield while
passing near the prison about 9 o'clock on
the night that the escape took place saw a
hack, the curtains of which were closely
drawn, driven away at full speed in the di-
rection of Hartford. It is reasonably certain
that Pagan had assistance Immediately after
he scaled the prison walls, and undoubtedly
friends were there in waiting. Warden
Samuel Clark of the prison is of course on
the anxious seat. He is sparing no exertion
to land Pagan again inside the prison walls.
