street CommIss,ou.,.

There is no Office in the gift of the
corporation more important than that
of street commissioner. True that po-
sitiOn is not fled by the direct ballot
of the citizens, but great care should
be exercised by the council in their
choice Of this officer. If they succeed
in selecting a good man, our streets
and pavements will be kept in good
condition and money will he saved TO
the treasury. II they select an inenl-
cient officer, our side. walks will be
kept in the same depl0rable condition
that they arc at present and our
streets will not receive the much
needed repairs. Looking TO the Inn
prOvemont Of the town Be would sug.
gest to the new council to combine
the duties Of street commissioner with
those OF lamp-lighter and policeman,
and require the person appointed 20
give bond for the faithful performance
of bis duty. BY giving to one man
the pay which belongs TO the three
duties spoken Of. together with the
work he should do, it would pay him
sufficient TO give his whole time TO
the town affairs We believe that II
the new council could induce Luther
Swerengen to accept the duties Of
which We speak, no better selection
could be made. Luther understands
keeping the streets and pavements in
repair, and besides this, he will see
that the "boys' behave themselves,
and make a frst-class officer general.

DIR. o. j. Cowles, a former New Haven
boy, but now the pastor of Methodist
Episcopal church in Brooklyn, N. Y, oc-

the second son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
Cowles, who resided in this town for
many years, removing from here to Ma
quoketa. Iowa, about 1854.
~ the twilight hour on Monday last
Mrs. Adeline (Doud) Smith passed away,
and her funeral was attended from her
late residence on Wednesday afternoon.
She tarried but week and a few days
after the death of her husband, Hon.
Oliver Smith, whose short and severe ill
ness has already been noticed. And
thus, after a long, useful and honored
life, known and highly esteemed by all,
have they passed from the scenes of life.
Truly it may be said of them, pheasant
in their lives, and in death not divided. "
Mr.. Smith had held many important Off
ces, representing the town in the general
assembly in 1894 and was side judge
in lS62-'63. lie always TOOK an active
and intelligent interest in all matters per-
tanning to the nation and the State, as
well as in town and society. He was
kind and courteous to all, and his home
one of the most hospitable. Mrs. Smith
made many friends, who will kindly
cherish her memory and grieve that they
shall see her face no more. The excel
lence of her character is seen in the love
which has ever been manifested by hei
children in their solicitude and tender
care for her comfort to the last of he
life. In the death of Mr.. and Mrs
Smith the church has lost two more of it
members, making FIVE, who had reached
the advanced age of three-score year
and ten and oyer, that have died since
last February. II

HANCOCK.

1t has been long known to few conf
dental friends of the late Titus Hutchin-
son that he had prepared a will and did
not intend to die intestate. Two or three
codicils had also been executed by him.
His only known heirs are a neice living
in Woodstock, VT, and nephew in Bos-
ton, and he does not appear to have kept
up any correspondence with either. A
portion of his property was believed to
be beQueathed to the town for the start
ing of a library, and most of the balance
to have been given in legacies to person
al friends, the whole estate amounting to
about $4,000. Messrs. Geo. V. Wilson
and d. B. Blair are believed to have been
named as executors. On the day before
he was so suddenly stricken with apo.
plexy he mentioned to Mr.. Blair that he
must make little further alteration in
his will. and told him what the nature OF
the alteration would be. He had previ-
ously assured Mr.. Blair that he would
find with his will full directions for his
funeral. Upon Mr.. Hutchinson's death
Mr.. Blair searched for these papers, bu,
did not find them. On Saturday last
Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Wilson, in company
with Mr.. Bliss of Middlebury, who wa:
Mr.. Hutchinson's legal adviser, made /
very thorough search for the lost will
but without success, and it is now seems
doubtful if it is ever found. The viii
