ded to the ripe old age which the deceased had reached, S1 years, but did not approve of an extended panegyric over the dead. as the past history of the deceased was we'll known to the com munity. MT Brown was an old resi- dent and with one Or two possible exceptions was the oldest man in town, Coming originally from New Jersey, in the spring of 1883, he began his labors in the employ of Pratt x Belcher, at Salisbury Centre, in the old forge long since removed, as reiner. In the autumn of the same year he came to this town and was employed at the Garfield Stirling iron works, which stood some twenty-five rods north of the bridge, they being at that time engaged in the manufacture of gun barrels which were sent to the U. s. govern ment arsenals at Springfield and Har- per's Ferry. The ironworks, which had previously been operated by company of seven stockholders, in few years changed hands again, and was there after known as the Garfield, Robbins Co.,, who changed machinery and com menced the manufacture of locomotive and car axles, in which the subject of this sketch engaged as long as the works were run, which was in 1861. The year previous he rented the grist and saw mill adjoining, which were abandoned, being too old and dilapida- ted to be deemed worthy of repairing. which was in the winter of 1865 and '66, Mir James Morris being the sawyer. The last saving done there was for the barn on the farm of the writer of this article. While in the employ of Can field, Robbins Go. he married Miss Elizabeth Boardman. They began house. keeping in the old Bradley House, on the opposite side of the river and after wards moved into the old mill house east of lthe mill. Mir Brown was also miller at Lime Rock and for time hired and operated with his son the Huntsville mill. In the winter of 1S41-2 he joined the Washingtonian society, temperance movement then in existence, which obligation we are informed he kept until the end of life. In the erection of the Congregational church he was one of the building committee. He took deep interest in the church and after its dedication be- came an active member of the society and united in full membership with the church few years since. Placed in a beautiful broadcloth casket he was borne by J. W. Gibbs, A. c. Randall, s. Brigner, H. Belden, W. G. Kellogg and B. M. Turner, all old acquaintances, to his final resting place in his family lot which overlooks the village and his quiet home and the farm, which he had titled the past few years of his life until the past four years.

CANAAN HOSPITAL
 Edito1" of Ne,cs
 "Give to him who asketh of thee, and from him who would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.
 After the Episcopalians, Pilgrims and Methodists have feasted to their hearts content, it is requested that all "Fair women and brave men" shall unite and give a supper, great and grand, the profits to be invested as 8 Canaan Hospital Fund. Danbury has two com modious cottages, in the same yard, away from the confusion, that are an undisguised blessing to that city. Many fevered occupant of crowded tene- ment houses would bless the gentle, tender and courageous hands that would minister to their wants, in cool, airy and clean rooms, in favorable and healthful location Bruised, broken and blasted men would be equally thankful. Probably the physicians of Canaan and other towns would gladly join hands and assist in the work, the oldest resident one acting as general manager, and, for reasonable sum of money, give favorable tract of land on which healthful building would be erected. Warm-hearted and industri- ous women will chee1fully contribute their mite" and moneyed men freely give out of their abundance. A roll of cotton bandage, and old linen for lint, are in readiness.

Lasher had an attack before the term commenced and does not seem to fully recover and now Miss Saunders is home quite sick while Jennie Paul is supplying her place.
