This true and noble woman, who had
been long prominent in the educational,
literary and religious circles in our town,
passed peacefully to her reward on Tues
day evening of this week, after an illness
of eight days. Her sickness was so
brief and its fatal termination so unex.
pected, that the news of her death
brought severe shock to her many
friends.
She was the youngest daughter of the
late Rev. Charles Miller, and was born in
West Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 10, 1885.
She was educated at the old Bloomfield
Academy, and soon after her graduation
became its preceptress, a position which
she filled successfully for quite term of
years. More recently she was member
of the School Board, and served in that
capacity for some years with the utmost
faithiulness. She was an original mem
Der of the Woman's Club, and took q
deep interest in its affairs. Her last lit
erary work was paper which she had
prepared for the Club, snd which she fin
ished but few days before her illness
She served also as President of the
Womans Missionary Society connected
with the Kennebec Baptist Association,
and filed this position with marked abili-
ty. She was a constituent member of
the Bethany church, and the Secretary
and Librarian of its Sunday School from
its organization.
She was thoroughly capable woman,
and united In rare degree executive
ability with modesty of spirit and sim
plicity of manner. Her character was
symmetrical and had unusual strength
and poise. Fidelity is the one word
which best expresses the distinguishing
feature of her life. Devoted to her home
she yet found time and strength for the
performance of many public duties. She
fell asleep In the season of her greatest
usefulness, and will be sincerely mourned
by all who knew her. Her death is Il
serious loss both to her family and the
town. The funeral will take place at he.
late residence on Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.

Mr.. William Jones, while walking on
the beach of the Nariva Cocal, noticed
bottle which hnd been washed ashore by
the waves. He opened 1t and found it
to contain a scrap Of paper, which he
forwarded to the Office of this paper.
The following was written in German on
one side, the other having written across
1t the date 80 September 1882 and the
signatures T. Schlingor and Aust. LIGHT

that the vote passing over the article
relating to sewers be reconsidered for
