Mary A., widow OF Colt Parlshurst died
March 25, 1880 at the home OF her only
daughter, Mrs. A. F.. Prince Of Hinckley,
DeKalb Co., III. She was s. years old the
10th of last September. She was sick only
about a week with the prevailing inhu-
enza. Up to this time she enjoyed excel
lent health u was young IN thought and
spirit. She was active in body and mind.
Her friends can testify to her skill in nee
die work done in these later years for they
have beautiful specimens from her hands.
During the past winter she has read some
OF the standard works OF fiction written
by English authors and took an active in
terest in the household duties. Four score
years and five found her fresh in thought
and in sympathy with this progressive
age. Her religion was cheerful and
hopeful, so broad 1t took in the whole hu-
man family. Seven years ago last Dec.
she and her husband left this their native
town where they spent most of their life
and found a pleasant and happy home
with their daughter. She and her only
brother, B. f. Parkhurst Of Worcester,
Mass. did every thing that love and mon
ey could do to make the last of their faith
er'sand mothers life seem the brightest
and the best. They have requited their
parents tender care and affection. And
as they came back and stood beside that
mothers open grave they thought of a
vanished world. Almost in sight OF that
sacred spot which contains the ashes OF
their beloved dead, is the old homestead
where their father was born, where he
commenced his married life. where all the
children first saw the light and where
most of them closed their eyes in their
last sleep and received the last kiss from
loving lips. There these parents lived for
"a years and experienced the joys and sor-
rows of that home, where they saw the
mystery of life and the mystery of death.
All but two of that family are gone. On
Ily a short time since the house, barn and
all the buildings OF that old farm of sa-
cred associations went up in flame and
smoke. When these two children came
back nothing remained but stone and
ashes to greet them. But they saw the
same beautiful scenery Of river, valley and
hills which they looked out upon in their
childhood. Other feet tread the old IA
miliar paths. But the memory of hat
father and mother win grow the brighter
to their children thro' all the years to
come. Altho' their lips are silent, the ten
der words they have spoken will be re-
membered. Altho' their hands Will soon
turn TO dust, vet their touch and heaven
~ grasp will be felt as an inspiration by
those who loved them. They have lived
long and well. In the serenity and peace
Of age they have passed on 70 the higher
and better life. Their bodies viii mingle
with the dust of their native valley. Peace
to their ashes. Joy to their souls in Heav-
en-. Com.

of the farms in town for the past ten years

that the farms had deprecated in value.
The listers have visited every farm in town
at every quadrennial appraisal. At the
appraisal made four years ago the coming
summer about 20 per cent on an average
was deducted from the appraisal of four
