About year ago Michael Corcoran, a
mule spinner in the Vermont Mills, ran
a silver into the ball of his great toe, at
the time suppOsing that he got it all out.
After alittle his foot troubled him and
calling a physician expected itwOuld be
cured, but'the foot became inflamed in
two places, and although other medical
advice was sought the trouble continued.
AS he became lame in his joints he doc
tored for rheumatism, and now after
twelve month he has pulled from the
troublesome part silver two and half
inches long, the concealment of which in
his foot it is hoped will prove to be the
cause of his lameness.

Miss Cora B. daughter of j. C. Wright,
who had been in feeble health for more
than year, died Of consumption Sun
day night, her eighteenth birthday oc-
curing in July next. Her mother is the
daughter of the late Mrs. Nathan Bowen,
who was sister Of the late Gov. Hall.
She, was the last of five children, the 9th
er four being boys who died at the age
of ID, 10, Is, and 10 years, the last in this
village about ten years since, and were
all buried in HOosick where their parents
have lived for years, as well as i'll Cam
bridge, n. Y. Cora was of quiet kind
ly disposition and was never strong in
\ health, but bore, in her physique the as
sarance that she inherited frail consti-
| tuition. She was amember of the Con-
gregatiOnal Sabbath school, and until
sickness interfered was found in her
class, and with the society of Christian
EndeavOr, of which she was an associate
member. Since she has been shut up at
home, she wrote to a dear friend who
was confined to the house by sickness,
that she felt she was q Christian. Her
many acts of self denial and beneficence
in assisting children to attend Sunday
school and appear in public, some of
which garments are now being used, and
her position as president of the Cheerful
Cleaners, speak loudly in her praise.
Her funeraI, was alto o'clock Wednesday,
morning, at which Rev. G. H. Peck Off
ciated, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Gilbert, and
the singing was by the choir to whose
voices she had loved to listen. The
bearers were from her associates, Dem
ing Hall, Daniel Tompkins, Harry
Phillips, Albert Hathaway, Frank Ripley
and Willie Green. She was buried in the
cemetery here, t0GFhieh place the re-
mains OF her brothers. viii be removed in
due time. The parents have the deep
sympathy of the community in their
great loss, rs shoXA by, the moistened
eyes of the. naI8 who attended the
funeral services. Many flowers tastefully
arranged had been sent In by kind neigh
bors and friends,v conspicuous among
them beautifal anchor.
Mrs. w. J. Toinbs died Monday even
ing, the 28th inst, of paralysis. Her
health had not been good for long
time, and the sickness of her husband,
who has been confined to the house for
two months or more, drew upon her
strength so that she was Frustrated, and
both were sick in 0 number of weeks.
!, 1t was thought that they were slowly
|, improving, but a complication set in, and
when few days since Mr.. Tombs was
permitted to go up stairs to see her, she
, could only say, ~ had hoped to be able
first to go, down and see yOu," when
lher strength was exhausted and she was
