 MRS HULDAH MALLETT.
 Though in her S3d year, the death of Mrs Huldah Winton Mallett, widow of Josiah Mallett, was surprise to all, SC sprightly and vigorous was she till with in few days of her death. Symptoms of la grippe developed into the fatal af- ter effects, bronchial trouble and pneu- monia, which resulted in her death, Thursday, 23d. The funeral, Sunday ,at the Baptist church, was conducted by Rev Messrs Osborne and Weeks, all de- tails of her obsequies having been ar ranged by her before her death, with the characteristic precision so marked in the life of the aged lady and her facul- ties were remarkably acute until she breathed her last.
 Mrs Mallett is the last of family of six and both her own and her husbands family were widely known as people of prominence and wealth in the years gone by. No relatives nearer than neph- ews and nieces survive and only five of these, John B. and A. w. Parmelee, Mrs Burton Sherman, mother of Mrs Eli B. Beers, and Legrand Lanphear of Michi- gan; hosts of more distant connections are scattered about the surrounding country. Mrs MaIlett was woman of strong impulses and, to her friends, was the soul of good fellowship and generos- ity. Mrs Sylvia Mallett and John B. Parmelee cared for her, the few days she was confined to her room and had charge of the preparations for her burial, which was in the Stepney cemetery. George J. Banks, G. B. Tucker, George Sher- wood and Charles Clark were bearers.
 Mrs G. J. Banks has been sick.
 Mrs Charles Burr has been sick with the grip.
 Mrs Laura Hubbell has gone to Mich ols to stay with daughters. She has been with her youngest daughter, Mrs Sarah Wheeler, for seven months. Although S5 years of age, she is very active and has excellent sight, being able to see at a distance without glasses. Her elas- tic step equals that of many who are younger.
 Mrs Henry B. Nichols, who died in New Haven, was brought here for bur ial in the Baptist yard, with the remains of her husband, who died 10 months be- fore. Mrs Nichols was formerly Celestia Hard and her brother, John Hard of Stratford, attended to the arrangements. The residence of II. J. Roberts, eX- pastor of Easton Baptist church, at Bur lington Flats, N. Y., was entered during absence of the pastor and family, who were away for visit. Fires were kind led, lamps lighted and general posses sion taken of the parsonage. People be- gan to flock in and soon the house was i filled to the utmost. The pastor return ed, but, owing to the number of intru- ders, no arrests were made. In the kitchen, it looked as if old Santa had packed his load to make his rounds and left it all there. Bags and bundles with out number were left as a reminder that the occupants had received q severe pounding.
