 -Is it merely coincidence, or is there significance in the fact, that Grover Cleveland has moved from Washington, D. O., to New York city, and that the New York East Conference has transferred Rev B. F. Kidder from Litchfeld, Conn, to Twenty-seventh street, New York city, where perhaps his peculiar prohibition utterances and methods will be more kindly received than in Litchield county At all events, Mir Kidder will be near Grover 0. and they can frequently consult about the next campaign.

 Mrs Lizzie M. Frien, widow of Julius Frein, died at the residence of her parents, in this village, about 6 o'clock last Saturday afternoon. She was the oldest daughter of Mir and Mrs Henry 0. Barnes. Her age was 25 years and 7 months. She struggled bravely and uncomplainingly with that in- siduous and fattering but unrelenting disease, consumption. Her parents and friends have anxiously awaited the return of spring, hoping that it would bring new lease of life to their loved one, but their fondest hopes are blasted, the silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken. Mrs Frein was lady of sweet disposition and rare Christian graces. The fragrance of her gentle life will long remain an inspi- ration and blessing to all who knew her. She leaves daughter of tender years, too young to realize the loss which it, the family and whole com munity have sustained, but upon the little one the grandparents will bestow an equally bountiful measure of love and tender care which its mother received. The funeral was largely attended at the house on Tuesday at 2:15 p. m. Rev D. c. Stone, her pastor, conducted the services
