May Hoyt.

Death has been very busy in our midst of late and upon none has his hand fallen with more frequency or more crushing weight than the family of Rev J. F. Hoyt. Thrice before has the family cir cic been broken by Deaths unsparing hand and now once more are they called upon to mourn the loss of beautiful daughter, May. She died Tuesday even- ing, after brief illness. She was but li years, months and IS days old.
 May was stn excellent scholar and her rccitations and compositions showed un- usual ability. Arrangements had been made for her admission to Northfield seminary, D. l.. Moody's famous school at Northfield, Mass. Her health began to fail soon after her recovery from scar ct fever in the Winter. She brayely re- Aisted the growing weakness, but, when the shadow grow deeper and surcr, she looked beyond It, and, without fear or shrinking and with trust in the Redeemer and assurance of the Life everlasting, she passed from loving friends on earth Go the waiting friends In Heaven, whom she seemed to see in the last moments. The funeral will be attended from the Congregational parsonage, to-day (Fri- day) at D m, Rev !. w. Teal, D. D., of the Presbyterian church at Elizabeth, N. J., her fathers college room mate and life long friend, conducting the services there and Rev A. F. Chapman those at tho grave. Rev H H.B.Mead of Brookiield is a{so expected to take part In the ser vices. The pail bearers will ho Frank Wright, Hervey w. Wheeler, Charles K. IIelin, Henry Fancher, Harry TerriIl. Robert IT. Beers.
