which occurred between five and six
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. lie had

bwith inflammation of the stomach. The
at o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Cambridge officiating. Mr.. Holton would
have been 60 years of age had he lived
till the 18th of next month. He had
passed most of his life in this town, fol-
lowing the occupation of ieweler. As
a mechanic he had few superiors and a.
an inventor he was almost Il genius. The
metallic thermometer, which has
come into general use within a few
years, was his invention and he
took out patent for it long ago. Other
inventions of his were an engraving ma
chine, recording thermometer, a me-
chanical organ, a clock in which the
pointer travels up and down instead of in
a circle Besides these, he had construct

talent for selling and pushing as for con-
irving devices of one sort and another,
he might easily have acquired fortune.
But his chief aim seemed to be to design
and to build, and when he had succeeded
in getting his ideas into working models
he was satisfied and took up something
else. He leaves widow and one son.
