MT. Amos A. Lawrence, who died recent | ly, was the last man of mark among the eel ebrated Lawrence family of Boston. This l was composed in the last generation of three brothers who came to Boston from the town of Groton and went into business there Amos, Abbott and Samuel. The two elder were the able men of the trio. Amos was 8 philanthropist in the sense that he was kind hearted and generous to those about him as few men are. He always summed publicity
 in his acts, had no taste whatever for poli- tics, and in what were known as public caus-
 es ip philanthropy had little part. But he
 was constantly giving to benefit his fellow
 men whom he saw, and to aid in schemes
 for their advantage. He lived peculiar life
 in the latter part of his days. He was a victim to dyspepsia who pursued an exactly
 opposite course to that now recommended by
 those engaged in what is known as the mind
 cure. He put his mind entirely upon what
 he ate; had his food literally weighed and
 measured for him each day; and with all his
 means for luxury lived the life of an ascetic.
 He was an excellent business man, and did
 much to promote the firms success. He was
 interested greatly in young men and gave
 them excellent counsel and instruction. With
 all his valetudinar rianism he was thoroughly unselfsh.

So Cheering.

In one of our New England towns lives
an old character nearly allied to families
prominent in that State, known by the
neighborhood title of "Aunt Polly" She
is woman of wealth, but so parsimoni-
Gus and eccentric that her life is desolate
and friendless. She has horror of
men, and has but one chair upon which
she will permit them to rest within her
door, and from which any young lady
who visits her is promptly warned away.
Her house is almost tumbling to decay,
and not a soul will she permit to shelter
with her. For years she has appeared, If
at all upon the street, in print dress
clinging to her as though her only gar
ment, and an old shawl over her stray
Cling gray hair, which she puts back with
peculiar restless gesture wher she oc-
casonally pauses to speak to a passer-by.
She has a sweet old face and the voice
of a gentlewoman when speaking, with
a note of pathos in it that impresses the
Indifferent listener with the feeling that
sad and restless heart may be at the bot
tom of all this eccentrcity.
That Aunt Polly's youth was marked by
the common tastes and warnings of girl
hood j. shown by one of the many stories
told to her: A young niece, still bride,
was greatly surprised, during brief alb
sence of her husband, to receive a visit
from Aunt Polly. As she arose to leave,
her guest laid silver flfty-cent piece in
her hand saying: ~ thought you would
be lonesome, Julia, and | want you to
keep this to spend for peanuts times like
these, whenyour husband is away. They
are so cheerin' to a body."-DetrOn Free

Much MARRIED MAN "A Kalamazoo
mich despatch in the New York Her.
aid says; William Sargent, wLo once had
as great mania as King Solonan for
matrimony, died this afternoon in the
hospital of the State Lunatic Asylum.
Sargent was arrested some time ago for
bigamy at jackson, in this State. On his
trial it was Dissolved that he married sew
eral different women in different places.
Az he claimed that he had a right to do
this sort of thing without limit, and that
in multiplicity of mothers-in-laws he
found comfort Sargent's sanity was
doubted. He was found to be insane
and was sent to the State Lunatic Asy-
lum here.
While in the asylum it TRANSFERRED that
Sargent was perfectly sane on all qucs-
ton; except on that of matrimony, and
that he had married, or attempted to
marry twenty six women in this and other
States. He was travelling man at one
time, and had families in various places.
One popularity of his was that when h.
was in the bosom of one family he SEEM
ed to forget entirely about all of his
other families, and, although he would
sometimes stay in one place several
weeks, he never wrote nor spoke of the
wives and children he had elsewhere.
He was fine looking man, of good adj
dress, and was very attractive to women.
He made several victims in Canada,
where he married as many as eleven un-
suspecting girls.
When he was arrested Sargent was con-
sidered villain of the deepest dye, but
after it vas learned that he had an insane
mania for marrying and was not u DELHI
crate scoundrel many of his victims took
pity on him Before he died the much
married unfortunate recovered his reason
sufficiently to understand why he was i'm
prisoned and to realize the fate he had
brought on SO many women.

m. Pasteur on His Experience.

NJ Pasteur, in paper read on Novem-
Der End. to the Paris Academy of Scien-
ces, states that the number of patients
inoculated for hydrophobia up to Oct
81 has been 2490, of whom 1926 were
French, 1911 Russians, 1875 Italians, 10Y
Spaniards, so English, 81 Belgans, 32
Austrans, % Portuguese, % Roumanians
Is Americans, IA Dutch, 10 Greeks, .
Germans, Turks, 3 Brazilans, 2 Swiss
and Hndoos. OF the 1926 French pa
TENTS 10 died, 6 of these being children.
Although very few persons bitten this
year in France can have kept away from
the laboratory, there have been to his
knowledge II deaths among this small
minority. While, moreover, the deaths
in Paris hospitals from hydrophobia have
In five years, numbered 60 and while last
year there were 81, there have this year
been only 3, both not inocu'ated besides
a third not treated with sufiici' mt inten-
SHY M. Pasteur has also, the Times
correspondent states, made experiments
on dogs wi h a view to showing that,
after inoculating them with hydrophobia
by trepanning, vaccinations with the pre-
ventive marrow secures then immunity
from the malady.

THE PITTsFIELD AND CANAAN MAIL
RoUTE'-The scheme contemplated by the
S. & M. II. X. folks to have the the rail
way connection of the mail route from
Canaan and Wet Pittsfeld to Pittsted
transferred from this place to the pro-
posed new postoffice at the Iron bridge"
the Palmyra station of the s. & M. R.
R--is not likely to be carried out. Pa
irons of the Canaan aud West Pittsfeld
officers are strongly opposed to any
charge, and they claim that any such
transfer would defeat the object of the
late extension of the route to Canaan, and
would benefit no one on the route. 1t is
claimed that two miles would be saved
in the distance now traversed between
Pittsfield and Canaan. Admitting this,
and entering into no discussion as to the
relative merits of the different roads to
West Pittstield and Canaan, it might be
said that it is the interests of the patrons
of the offices on the route that are con-
sidered in these matters by the Postof-
fee authorities, and that while West
Pittsield and Canaan are so manifestly
opposed to any change, none will be
made. -Adrertiser.
