BEDDING.

Rev Aaron Mallett, who died last week, was local elder in the Methodist church for many years. He was brother of Dr MalIett, we'll known dentist of New Haven, who died some years ago. A good preacher, useful citizen and a kind husband and father, his death leaves a gap in his family and the community which it will be hard to fill. During the latter part of his life, his mind was clouded, but his religious experience was bright and clear to the very last. He leaves widow and a son and daughter. His pastor, Rev D. Taylor, attended his funeral, last Friday.
