 The death of Mrs. Anna w. Sumner occurred at her home last Friday morn ing. She had been failing for long time. but no immediate danger was feared un- til the Sunday previous to her death, when she began to sink rapidly. She was 98 years of age, having passed her last birthday April 1st. She was re- markable woman in many respects, and all who met her could but admire her genial appearance even in her declining years. Her husband was for many years deacon of the Baptist church in this place. He died some years ago. Three sons and four daughters survive her. The funeral took place at her late home on Tuesday morning at II o'clock, Rev. Mr. Potter of Rockville officiating, assisted by Revs. Geo. Morrill, and J. Thompson of the Congregational and Methodist churches of this place respectively. She was the oldest person in town. Her sons, Wm. Sumner of New York, Dr. E.. G. Sumner of Mansfield, and Lawyer Elliott Sumner of Willimantic, also her son-in- law, MT. Marion Clark, of Coventry, act ed as bearers.
 The memorial day services were more elaborate than for many years. At 10 o'clock Bugbee post, No. 70, G. A. R., as- sembled in front of the town hall. Fol lowed by the band playing martial music they marched into the building, where the exercises commenced at 1O.3 Pray CT was offered by Rev. J. Thompson. Music was furnished by quintette, con- sisting of Misses Bessie Baker and Chris tine Essex, and Messrs. c. U. Brooks, J. P. Root and E. s. Agard, accompanied by Mrs. Conant at the piano. The ora tion was delivered by Col. Chas. M. Jos. lyn of Hartford. He spoke of the great regard we should have for all the veterans of the civil war, and the special esteem we should hold for those brave heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country in the time of it's greatest need. He en larged upon the effect produced upon this country by some of the decisive battles of the war. At the conclusion of the ad dress the veterans marched to Centra Park, where remarks were made and g prayer offered by Rev. G. w. Morrill, There the graves of the "unknown" were decorated, and the benediction was pro- nounced by Rev. MT. Thompson. The march was then formed for the cemeteries The flowers were very pretty and arr anget | neatly. FLORA.

 The latter part of last week these words, "John Franklin has been heard from,' were in every one's mouth. This was nothing more than we expected would occur some time, though one good brother solemnly assured us about the time of his disappearance, May 10th, 1889, that John Franklin never would be heard from till we should stand at the judgment seat of Christ. As to the stories current of how he has spent the time since he went away they are not altogether complimentary. The young lady here to whom he was en- gagged has worked bravely during the two years and will be graduated from our state normal school this month we'll prepared for her life's work, and having the re- spect of all who know of the story of the disappearance of her affianced.

A SUNLESS WORLD.

II the glad sun were dead, q night
Amid the awful night of space,
A cold. annihilating blight
Upon our fair worlds face
The wonders of the seasons, heat
And soothing rain, the gentle flowers,
Recurrent summers, and the beat
OF passion hearted hours
Would be as things not known to earth.
While neither man, nor beast nor bird,
Would waken any sign of BIRTH
Not any song or word;
Where souls have vainly throbbed and fought,
Where some have conquered, there would be
No dim awakening Of the thought
That scorns mortality.
No young spring fiuttering in the breast
OF the undying dream of life
Love, which is more than other best,
Sweet in its very strife;
But our wan, stricken star would fly
In darkness like adeath's device.
ROBBED in the winter of the sky
And winding sheets of ice.
George Edgar Montgomery.
