all who knew her an imprint or reflection of her character. As a teacher in the public schools, she had endeared herself to her pupils and gained the good will of both parents and children. Her associ- ate teachers in the Sandy Hook school had a high appreciation of her merits as a teacher, and, as a mark of respect to her memory, closed school during the period of her obsequies.
 She began teaching, after course of study in the Danbury schools, at the age of l6, as primary teacher and continued in the same grade until, in October last, sickness compelled her to relinquish her school forever, after vainly hoping that her Illness was only temporary indispo- sition. Miss Margaret Kenworthy, her friend, who had kindly volunteered as substitute teacher in the earlier stages of Miss Carey's sickness, then took hold and completed the term and became her sue cessor.
 The deceased fingered during the Win ter months, at times the occasion or brightest hopes or deepest despair to her friends as to her recovery. She was sur rounded by all the comforts that fond love could lavish on it's object, but noth- ing could stay the hand of death. Alter the death of the mother who bore her such affection, which occurred exactly one month ago, the daughter seemed 70 be ready to go and, though she hid her grief from the bereaved family, there IS no doubt of her anguish of mind over the separation, which, as she said, would not be long. Her last words were: 'I am better now, Papa!" as she reached out her hands to her heavily stricken earthly father and expired.
 Her funeral occurred, Tuesday, rom her home, where a host of her friends III | life had gathered to do her honor. Not the least sorrowing were the pupils from her school, who marched to the side of her bier and presented floral offerings to their dead teacher, consisting of pillow with the inscription, ''Our Teacher and n wreath with the name 'Josie" in blue immortelles; then, afterward, under the charge of the teachers, received the body standing as a guard of honor by the hearse. They presented sad, yet con soling spectacle. On the way to St Roses church, the scholars preceded tht funeral cortege as far as the Sandy Hool bridge, when they again opened ranks and stood with uncovered heads and rev erential aspect while the entire line oi carriages passed.
 After the services at the church, whici
 were impressive in the extreme, the fun eral lines reformed and proceeded to St Rose cemetery. They buried her by th'
 side of her mother, Mary Wixted Carey
 Beside her father, one sister, Mary E
 and three brothers, James, Thomas ant
 Jeremiah, Jr, are left to sorrow ovel
 their loss. Requiescat in pace.

The Negro in llassachnsetts.

4 Boston paper resurrccts a
rather curious bit Of his ory to show
that u colored man was once elected
to Office in Massachusetts. This
occurredas tar back as 1870, N
the little town CT Townsend. At
the town meeting about twenty alb,
olutionists held.he balance Of power
and would vote for neither party
cand date. Finally both wings
d democrats got mad and united
to elect anegro to the legislature
in order to punish the abolition
lists. But though elected. the ne>
gro did NOT take his seat. Public
sentiment would not allow hin to
do so. Townsend went unrenre
scented in Tie legislature that wear.
There is a good deal that is in
structive about this incident. The
spirit that dictated the election of
a negro as the greatest possible in
suit that could he put upon politi,
cal antagonists sill lives even in
Massachusetts,.

Office, and my dLsire has been that

Please inform me OF your purpose
OF course this resulted in the De
mocart's resignation; and tn,
President sent him another letter
thanking Kim Tor has "manll
and friendly course in tie matter.
All of which sounds very well, b.

An Intelligent Toad.

Mr.. E. L. Holdridge, Of South
Butler, New York, is the owner
of a toad which has developed a
remarkable de2ree of tractability
and intelligence. In eating the
toad has been trained to use a
small knife and fork, and it is sid
to handle these Implements with
the grace and skill OF an epicure.
At the conclusion OF the meal the
toad regularly uses a small napkin
to wipe its mouth. An act which
it performs with becoming gravity.
Mr.. Holdridgc Is at present teach-
ing the toad TO use a toothpick.
but it is still very awkward in the
use of these implements. Tic
toad readily walks upright, and
apparently ignores the character
istic hor Of It's pate nal ancestors
in the act Of iocomotlou. It is
also affirmed that the toa d is de-
veloping q degree OF conscience.
as it has been Known to shed tears
of remorse upon several occasions
when reprimanded by Mr.. Hold
ridge for some improperly or lack
OF etiquetta at the table.
