The people of this community were
inexpressibly shocked to hear of the
unexpected death of Mrs. Helen Preece,
wife of j. p. Preece, which occurred on
Saturday last.
Some little time since, Mr.. Preece
was taken dangerously i'll with erysipe-
las, from which he has not yet recov-
cred, being barely able to sit up a
portion of the time. Mrs. Preece, at
the time, was visiting son in Nebraska,
but Immediately returned to minister
to the wants of her husband and, with
out doubt, the severe labor and exertion
required in taking care of him, together
with lack of needed rest, was the incit-
ing cause of her death. She had been
afflicted for long time with disease of
the heart and, on Monday of last week,
she was taken with congestive chill.
Inflammation and paralysis of the bow
els supervened, and she sank away like
an autumn leaf on the wings Of the
breeze. She was fifty-three years of
age. Funeral exercises were held in
Porter, in which township her daughter
resides, on Tuesday, the 9Th inst.
She was noble, self-sacrificing
woman and, until her frail body yielded
to the severe mental and physical strain,
no man ever had more faithful care
than her suffering husband received
from her tender, loving hands.

'sNothing in the controversy will disturb the harmony which prevails in the party" The issue does not affect the party at all It is an individual matter, in which one of our representative citizens and leaders has been politically assassinated by political intriguer.-Meriden Republican"
 The Platt-Sperry controversy is the one referred to, and the above is in reply to what the DEMOCRAT had to say in the mat ter few days ago. That it is an indi- vidual matter we agree with our contem- porary; also that it was an assassination, by a political intriguer, if you will. But that the issue does not affect the republi- can party has not yet been made clear to us. MT. Sperry is shrewd politician, a schemer whom it will be found hard to down. And that he is not without friends young MT. Platt and the republican party will find when they begin to apply the screws.
