Landlord Leonard has in his possession a rare old paper, copy of the Ulster County Gazette dated January 4. 1900. Aside from it's value as an old print is the fact that ill it's columns is the am nouncement of the death of George Wash ington, full report of the doings of Con- gress and of funeral services of the de- parted hero. The paper is brown with old age and is printed in the old style, with for and is unusually well pre- served. Like all papers of that time, the Gazette devoted much space to foreign news and in it's columns we find all ac- count of the battle of Zurich in which some 5000 English were killed and also the announcement of the arrival in France of Bonaparte from Egypt. In the advertising columns. we find many quaint and suggestive ads, some of the merchants dropping into poetry. Here are the lines of one:
 would not live to rouse your passions,
 For credit here is out of fashion.
 My friends and buyer s>one and all,
 It would pay you well to give call.
 You may always find me by my sign
 A few rods from the house divine.
 Another ad reads:
 NOR SALE--A stout. healthy, active Negro I Wench. Any person inclined to purchase may know the particulars by applying to John Schoonmaker, Jr, at Rochester.

The liberal professions are crowded with incompetents. I know ministers who should be palace car conductors, poor lawyers who would have been good drummers or clerks and medical men, more dangerous to their patients than the disease they treat, who were destined by Nature for the farm or the factory. It requires both faculty and courage, when you iiuve discovered your mistake, to drop your tools and start again; but if all the doctors, lawyers and ministers who never can get on in their profession would get out and find other fields of la Dor, it would be infinitely better for themselves and the country. So many are wholly unfit or badly prepared that, while they increase the miseries of man kind, they add to the business and prof it's of those who are capable. The com petitions of modern life have become so keen that there are no opportunities for the lame and the lazy. The first must find their proper pursuits and the second must work or go to the wall.-[C [Chaun- cey M. DepeW.

Michael J. Donohue.

Seldom has the community felt so se- were loss by the visitation of death as when the announcement was made of the death of Michael J. Donohue, the popu- Jar clerk at the Grand Central hotel. The young man was confined to his bed for about two weeks, suffering from a severe cold, which afterward developed into pneumonia. He had, however, the best medical attendance and had passed the crisis of the disease, and the hope of his friends had expanded into confident eX- pectation that he would eventually re- cover. Besides, the patient himself had made a heroic struggle for existence. Hence, when the news reached the pub lie, Monday morning, that death had come so unexpectedly, the sorrow of those who knew him was genuine. He was a bright, cheery spirit, whom every one liked. The deceased was the second eldest child and eldest living son of Mi chael Donohue of Walnut Tree hill dis trict and was, at the time of his death, about 20 years of age. Four years ago, he came to the Grand Central hotel as office clerk and his employer, as indeed all who had business intercourse with him, certifies to his usefulness and trust worthiness. He was always the right man in the right place. In his social life, he was very popular with his asso- ciaGcs, CdTTyluS lHbo every dsseLnplaSe an unaffectedly modest demeanor and large warm-heartedness. After death, his remains were removed from the hos pitable shelter where he had been em- ployed and where death found him to his fathers home, from whence the funeral was held, Wednesday, February 25, 1891. It goes without saying that it was a large gathering of friends who came to pay the last tribute of respect. The interment was in St Rose cemetery. The pail bear CTS were cousins: Michael F. Bradley, F. J. Bradley, Thomas Bradley, sons of Thomas J. Bradley; Thomas Finnell, son of John Finnell of Zoar; Patrick and Michael, sons of John Donohue. Under taker P. F. Heating, also cousin, had charge of the obsequies. The floral offer ings were ornate and elaborate and con- sisted of pillow from the employees of the Grand Central, an anchor from New town friends, a crescent from Danbury friends, cross and crown from Bridge port friends, other decorations from oth- CT Danbury friends and beautiful piece, -sGates ajar,n from Mir and Mrs M. J. Houlihan of the Grand Central.
