Obituary.

On Sunday, Feb. Z, the sad news Of
the death of Miss Mary A. Joyce reached
the friends and relatives in her child
hood home. Miss Joyce left us little
over year ago to enter st. Frances
seminary. She was apparently in good
health, but Jan. 18th the young spirit
passed away. Dear Mary, how we
miss her gentle voice, her pleasant
smile! She had won many friends
among her schoolmates and compan-
ions. She was left fatherless at an
early age and dependent upon her own
hands for support. BY steady, earnest
labor she obtained a good education
and fitted herself to enter the best cir.
Giles of society, and it was much agains,
the ishes of her friends that she left
us to become member of the convent.
Those who knew her best will miss her
most. Quiet, kind and unassuming,
she was pie asant companion. Am.
bilious to excel in everything she un-
dertook, she overtaxed the frail consti.
tuition. and consumption followed.
Death took her away, without rela-
tive to close the dying eyes or a friend
to smooth the silken hair and speak
words of comfort to the aching heart,
yet surrounded by loving schoolmates.
She leaves a mother, sister and brothers
to mourn her early death. Only nine.
teen summers had passed when death
called her away.
Dear young sisters, noble band.
Who performed with gentle hand
Thy last sad funeral rites
What earth sewers, Heaven unites

CHICAGO, Feb. Is, 1886.
1t is announced by one of the local
statisticians that the available wheat
and flour supply is 100000 bushels
less than at this time last year, and that
in Chicago alone there are 400, 900
bushels less in store than there was at
this time last year. This, with the abb

and unchanged; wool and broom corn
in good demand and firms whisky, NOM
inal. Jobbingtrade moderately active.
No material change in prices for goods
as the week closed, but large orders
from the country are reported and
better trade. Collections are improv-
ing. and there is generally more conf
dence in the market.
The weather during the last week de-
pressed the grain market, as colder
weather induce better prices; but on
the other hand the improvement in the
country roads and the better facilities
for transportation tended to increase
the order trade. Bonds generally ruled
firm all the week.

the beauties of electrical illumination.
On invitation most of the members OF
the upper department were present and
for about an hour were deeply inter-

of electricity and Prof. BecK's explana-

There are at the present time in the
Normal, pupils from seven states or

Quartette song, Messrs Beck, Sanford,

was read by member whose name we
failed to get and was well received.
j. A. Churchill gave defamation,
Emmets last speech. Mr.. Churchill is
one of the young members, but his rem

guessed by Mr. Mccarthy. For news
of the week, III. Wearle read the "Hor-

killed in court room in Boulder
Valley, Montana, few weeks ago. As
far as we have learned, it was cool

had been paying some attention, and he
ordered him to desist, finally refusing
him admittance to the house. A few
days after, Pitts was seated in the court
room with his back to the door, when
the young man entered and sent ball
