The SIS marriage faiure?" question
does not trouble this burg. A matrimon-

if it continues short time there will not
be a bachelor or maiden within our limits.
The winter up this way is decidedly
feeble. A little more vigor is what we
want. At present it is neither good
sleighing nor wheeling and the best
means of locomoton is by Mr.. Shank's
mare.
A very pleasant event took place at

set of silver spoons, glass lemonade set
glass water pitcher and other articles the
names and uses of which escaped the
memory of your somewhat forgetfu
scribe. 1t was an enjoyable affair.

Tuesday morning, and how sparkling

been scattered oyer all as finish and
nothing more could be done but to let the

The eye could not tire and we could only
stand and gaze entranced, wishing it could

I Mrs. Amos Landon was bnried from
the old Landon homestead on Monday,
Jan. Z, Rev. Oren Gregg having charge.
Mrs. Landon's health had been poor for
some years. She had some very sick
spells. She was one of the substantial
ones, who had stood firmly through a
very uncommon number of severe trials
during a long married life. Retaining
much of her natural cheerfulness, she
was an agreeable friend and safe family
counselor, loving mother and grand
mother and a faithful Christian. God
gave her the victory by the abiding pres
ence of his spirit to the end. We desire
to notice especially her large charitable
open-heartedness toward the poor and
needy and to the church home of her
choice. Two children survive her--P.
Landon of New Haven and Mrs. Chas
Abernethy of Bristol. The latter cared
for her mother in the last days and hours
very tenderly. Only one member of her
fathers family survives, Mrs. Caleb
Wright of New Haven. j. B. Cherbinc

rotary; N. f. Frost, treasurer; j. F. Ran
