1877 when she came to Milford to live
with Capt. G. w. Wilcox. She had six
children in all, only two sons of whom,
Mr.. Wilcox and the oldest brother on
the old homestead, survive her.
She was in many ways Il remarkable
woman. Exceptionally active and vigor-
Gus ia body, she accomplished duties
impossible to less capable women, while
her mental qualities we'll matched her
physical powers. She was exceptionally
well educ tied for her true, and was al
WAYS persistent seeker for knowledge.
A great and discri ninating reader. her
mental grasp of what she read or thought
made her knowledge of ready aud prac-
tical use. Her moral and womanly vir-
tues were salient characteristics. Kindly
generous ana liberal. she made friends
everywhere and kept them. Thought
full for others, cheerful under adverse
circumstances, she was a consistent ex-
annie of Christian womanhood, a COM
fort to those in affiiction and strength
to those in trouble. 10 her children

June Is, 1887, while at work In her
room she fell and broke her hip, aud was

however. was undoubtedly, the "old-
fashioned consumption" with which she
had been afflicted many years.
Before her marriage, she was Tor sew
eral years a school teacher in her native
town.

sometimes be called but he is not needed one

and cure those ailments that are liable to come
at any season and to attack both sexes and all
ages. Amid the host of articles that ara offer
ed to the public for this purpose nearly all are
useless or worse than useless. 1t is no vain
boast to say that the medicine herein mention
ed is of a very different character. What il
has done is known to multitudes of persons
whom il has cured Of weary and painful dis
ease. Ii has saved time and money and many
dear and precious lives. Now please under
stand that as the life is in the blood so disease
and death are in the blood. Get the poison out

parilla does this work quickly and surely
through its direct aud positive action upon the
stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver and skin. For
all waste and corrupt elements must be cast off
by means of these channels. Rheumatism,
scrofula, bronchitis, govt, consumption, mala-
ria, catarrh, hay fever, all skin affections and
erIptions are diseases of the blood.

good and loving mother, the kind
neighbor and the exemplary Christian

of the Universalist church, and to its
success she was ever true and faithful.

NoTEs RY lie WAY.

Being fortunate enough to receive
an invitation to Join the Rice Excur-
sion party to Denison, Texas we will
give your readers a few notes by the
way. The party consists OF 127, in-
Guiding many prominent men, among
whom are Hon. Brad Smalley, Hiram
Atkins, Hon. Fred Smith, and DIR.
Geo. Nichols from VI. The route was
by H6osic Tunnel, and the road after
leaving Greenfield, Mass. was rough
and full Of sharp curves. The season
we found no more advanced in Mass.
and New York than 10 VT. We went
over the West Shore to Buffalo and the
Nickle Plate to Cleveland. These roads
run parallel with the New York Cen
trail and Lake Shore and there was APP
parently no call for them. The road
bed and track Of the Lake Shore does
not look as good as that Of the G. ".
X. K. and the stations are horrible
looking affairs, except in the cities,
The land is rolling and broken between
Buffalo and Cleveland, but looks ge1-
orally rich. Saw many fruit trees and
grape vines near Cleveland. After
leaving Cleveland our route to Indian
apolis lay through one of the finest
farming countries, nearly level, broken
frequently by pieces OF fine timber,
beech, elm, oak and soft maple, in
tracts of from ten to fifty acres. The
land looked very rich but the buildings
were poor, not only on the farms but
in the villages. There is not village
in Vermont in which there is not more
paint used and where the outside ofthe
buildings do notlook better. This caus-
ed much comment by our party. Why
this is so in such fertile country is TO
be wondered at. After leaving Cleve-
land the weather was hot, the grass
and grain green in the fields and far
mers busy putting in crops. When
within fifty miles Of indianapolis we
struck the natural gas wells and found
the little villages brilliantly lighted with
this gas. 1t burns in the open air like
great torches and is used for fuel In the
kitchen stoves, in the iron mills and
for lighting purposes, but it smells, Oh !
UGH Murncie, Ind, is getting up
big boom over the gas and growing
rapidly. From indianapolis to st.
Louis was in the night and we Of
course saw nothing Of the country.

OBITUARY.

The funeral obsequies of Mrs. Hale L.
| Flint were held in the Episcopal church
at West Randolph April 18th, Rev. Mr..
| White, Rector of the church at North
field officiating. Mrs. Flint was daugh-
ter of DR.. A. kendrick of this place. she
was somewhat widely known in earlier
| life as vocalist of unusually fine gifts
and cultivation. She passed ten years
in Boston in the study and teaching of
music, several of the last of these years
under the tuition of Madam Rudersdorff.
Her voice was one of particularly SYM
pathetic quality and her execution of
certain kind of patAetic and tender
ballad music we have often heard char
acterized as being exceptionally efiec-
tive During the last ten years her home
has been in Chicago, where Mr.. Flint is
engaged in business. For five years she
has been an invalid fighting bravely for
life and enduring with great patience
and fortitude the weakness of her long
illness, and then just when her prospects
for health seemed brig suddenly
she has been taken away. IL will be
pleasant to her friends to remember that
nothing was omitted which could be
done for her comfort in her illness and
for her help in her struggle TO regain
health. Several winters She spent in the
South, in Georgia and in California and
several summers among the White Noun
tains and no expense WAS spared in Sc
curing the best treatment for the throat
and lung diseases with which she was
afflicted. Probably she gained not only
relief but prol0ngation of life by these
advantages of care and treatment. Ii is
not too much to say that she will be
missed by an unusually large circle Of
friends. She Was woman of rare at
fractions. She gained friends readily by
her charm of presence and manner ana
held them strongly by her substantial
worth. OF ready and keen wit and cheel-
ful humor, she was always especially
skillful in entertaining companies. De-
voted rs wife and mother. faithful and
appreciative as n friend, OF generous inn
pulses. her loss will be deeply felt by all
who knew her. But 1t will be at least Il
very precious comfort to cherish her
memory. HeI death seems untimely, at
Al years of age, but we know we cannot
judge of times and events of life. She
often expressed desire to live till she
could see her girls through the years of
infancy. This desire was granted. They
have not only received the training OF
six or eight years Of their life from Il
mothers care and love butar old enough
TO feel the impress other character and
to keep the memory and influence OF her
life as they grow older. Pleasant mem
cries and blessed hopes blend TO support
and cheer us in our bereavement.

A Million Years.

To the human understanding the
vast stretches of time involved in
geological history are utterly incom.
prehensible. 1t is not easy, indeed,
to form an idea of what period even
a million of years is, though Croll tells
us how striking impression of sucn
a lapse may be conveyed to the mind.
Stretch piece OF paper 50 feet four
inches long around the walls of room
somewhat over 20 feet square, recall
the events of life to give some con.
c"ption of hundred years, and then
consider that mark one, tenth Of an
inch broad at one end of the paper
represents the century, while the
whole strip gives place for only a mil.
lion years! This illustration is worth
trying. Could we stand, continues
the author of "Climate and Time. +"
upon the edge of gorge, a mile and
hal! in depth, that has been cut out
Of the solid rock by tiny stream
scarcely visible at the bottom of tn
fearful abyss, and were We informed
that this little streamlet was able to
wear off annually only one tenth of
an inch from its rocky bed, what
would our eoIc 'ption be of the
prodigious length of time that this
5 rean must have taken TO excavate
the gorge? We should certainly
feel startled on finding that the stream
had performed this enormous amount
OF work in something less than a
million Of years.
