FOLLOWING the death of her sisters

den death in New York city of VIM. w.
Monroe came TO his wife here. Mrs.
Monroe, accompanied by friends, went
down to the metropolis and the body
was taken to Chelsea, Mass, for inter
in the family tomb at that place. The
| funeral services were held Tuesday
morning at 1890 Mr.. Monroe was the
son of the Rev. VIM. Monroe, rector of

greatly reSpectly. The suddenness of
this stroke of affection will call out for
his surviving wife and child much sym

"PoLLY PEPPERS" says, in the Ameri-
can Home, that early rising wears out
women too fast 81 notice that our
thrifty great amts and grandmothers
had habit of dying early and giving
their husbands an opportunity of leading
two OF three blushing brides to the altar.
Now don't propose to leave any chances
for my husband to get any such double
or triple bliss as that. | don't intend
to have any other woman walking around
in my shoes, apprOpriating my kisses
and doing other disagreeable things
which should object to. mean to take
care of myself SO as to last as long as my
better half. No woman has any bust
ness, ordinarily, to get up and go to
work at or o'clock in the morning.
If there is anything in the world that a
woman needs it is plenty of rest. If she
feels tired and languid in the morning
and hates to get up. it is a sure sign that
she is OVERRIDING and wearing out. SIX
o'clock is as early as any one ought to
get up and 60 to work"

North adams. The PhilharmOnics re-
peat the above here on the 14th, the
evening before they go to North Adams,
as stated by the Ners. 1t will be re
membered that the "Chimes of Norman
dy" were given here last winter and that
the Opera was well-received. This time
as the proceeds are for the benefit of the
Citizens Band there ought to be good
paying house, and no doubt such will be
the case. Prices 30 and 80 cents.
THE Troy Telegram of yesterday says :
''The cold wave of yesterday morning
and the subsequent furry of snow made
early risers shiver and wonder if winter
if had not yet spent its fury. 0vercoats
and listers were luxuries all day long
and last night there appeared to be no
material change in the weather except
that it was even more chilly. There
were few prOmenaders and citizens kept
close to their fresides, at least those
who were fortunate enough to have kept
their heaters and stoves in condition.
The unfortunates who had moved and
failed to put up their parlor stoves were
compelled to toast their shins in front of
the kitchen ranges. There is one cOnso-
latiOn, that summer is too near at hand
to fear any prOtracted spell of such disa-
greeable weather conditions. Any num-
Der of new cases of la Grippe will be re-

escapes at least an attack of the "snuf-

plum, cherry, pear and peach, which
were in blossom, has been serious and
fears are entertained that the frost has
already blighted them. The conditions
for warmer weather to-day are favora-
