MRS. CAROLINE (MATTHEws) DEWEY.

Mrs. Dewey, who died at Amigo, Wis, Feb.
l, aged 80 years, was sister of the late Dea.
Eli Matthews OF Midllebury and married a
brother OF the late Jacob Dewey of this place.
De Pere (Wis) paper. says: "She came to
Wisconsin from Middlebury, VT, in 1886. She
lived three years at Green Bay, from there
going to East Troy, Walworth county, where
her husband died in 1857, leaving her tami.
ly OF four daughters one of whom Miss L. e..
Dewey accompanied her to De Pere in Sept,
1870, since which time this has been her home.
The number who attended the services at the
Congregational chapel in memory of her, on
last Friday afternoon, testifles in small
measure to the esteem in which she was held,
and the few appropriate remarks, by one who
knew her, were well deserved. In the lite that
has gone out from our midst we have lost
much. AS mother, sister and friend, she has
nobly acted her part, scrupulously discharg.
ing every duty. Her words we're few save
when she warred with vice; her counsel al.
ways wise; her life untiring, unselfish, and
untinching in the least degree from her high
standard OF regard for right and justice; and
the highest compliment we can pay hei is
that lite has not been in vain, tor she has left
in the hearts of those she loved an earnest love
of truth and noble strife to go on in His
strength"

Rev. DR.. WHITE EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
MIDDLEBURY, VT. Feb. 20, 1SS

MIDDLEBURY, VT, Feb. 20, 1888.
Editor Register Il notice, in the report
of the third party convention, little
mistake, which 1 wish you would be kind
enough to correct in your next issue. In
declining to speak on that occasion l was
made to say that d" was not personally
convinced of the wisdom of political pro-
hibition." That was mistake. What 1
said Cor intended to say was that l was
not personally convinced of the wisdom
of the present political movement of the
ProhibitiOnists. l have been a strong
and persistent prohibitionist in the Re-
publican party. And the drawing off of
the Prohibitionists from the old ranks,
wherein and whereby great and good re-
suits have been accomplished, seems to
me not likely to hasten the triumph of
the cause. 1 believe in legal Prohibition.
But shall not enter into any discussion
of the subject.
Yours truly, o. H. WHITE.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better
enabled to ward off the danger and post
comes inevitable. In many instances the
inherent strength of the body suffices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many, however, have lost these
forces to such an extent that there is lit
tie or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened lungs will make all the
difference between sudden death and
first symptoms of a cough. cold or any
trouble of the throat or lungs, give that
old and well-known remedy-Boschee'
German Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands saw of it to be, the
"benefactOr of any home"

EDWARD NJ. pINNEy

OfMr. Pinney. whose death at Valley Springs
Oak, Jan. 80, has been announced, the Enter
prise of that place says
Edward M lPinney was born at West Corn
wall, Addison county, Vermont, May -, 1851
the third son of Horace A., and Eliza p. Pin
ney. For many years he lived at Middlebury,
w., following the profession of architect and
builder, often taking large contracts for the
firm with which he was associated. On the
18th of November. 1873, he was un tied in mar
rage to Miss Georgia A. Burrows; their first
child, Harry, was taken from their arms by
the heavenly reaper, September %, 1885, aged
2years and months; blow which the be-
reaved family felt acutely. f. NJ. Pinney was
always a Jealous advocate of temperance.
when about 10 years of age he Joined the NJ.
Il. church. Coming out to settle with his father
on his farm near Valley Springs in February,
1878, he assisted in the following June with
fourteen other Methodists and Congregation
alists in organizing the Congregational church
OF Christ in Valley Springs of which church he
remained faithful and respected member mp
to the time of his death. He was also mem
Der OF the Good Templars lodge, and had
filled the Office of chief templar with much
acceptance. In the autumn of 1856 it became
apparent that scrofula had a strong hold of
the deceased; from that time his sufferings
were frequently severe, but he bore them with
Christian fortitude. A trip to the Hot Springs,
Dakota, last April, followed by one to his ma
tive Vermont, proved Intellectual to cure, and
last September, though not without hope that
he might eventually recover, E. NJ. Pinney re-
turned to Valley Springs, as the event proved
to die. Gradually wasting away, growing
weaker and weaker E. NJ. Pinney breathed
his last on Sunday morning, Jan. 49, 1888, aged
80 years, months, II days, leaving his wife
with one little girl aged 10 months to lament
his loss. Much sympathy is felt for the sor-
rowing father, who having tenderly watched
over his wife and son for so many months has
now at a short interval followed one after the
other to the grave.
