June 23, 1723, probably died about TYP.
 It has been reported, whether true or not,
 that he lived at the Elisha Clark place,
 opposite s. B. Brownsons present resi- dence. His daughter Deborah married
 Lemuel Beardslee, son of Obadiah and father of Squire Lemuel and died March
 l9, 1850, aged 93. It is believed that Martha, wife of Elias Baldwin, who died January 24, 1928, aged 75 years and four months, was daughter of Dr John, bap- tized October, 1752. It is probable, but not yet ascertained, that Benedict La bore, father of James, Charles and Rus sell, was son of Dr John, as the doctor had sister Abigail who married Bene- dict Lillingstone. There was Peter An thony Laborie, who was resident of this place, whether brother of Benedict or not is unknown to the writer. A Pe- ter A. Laborie married Achsah, daugh- ter of Ephraim Lewis, sister of Birdsey, father of Capt Cyrus, of Andrew, father of David and Ely, of Everett, father of Ransom. Benedict Laborie married Sal ly Clark. He was born November 30, 1770, Bnd died March 8, 1s40. Sally, his wife, was born June 15, 1771 and died January 8, 1852. James Laborie, son of Benedict, was married to Roxana Dicker- son, January 20, 1928. Their son, David Linson, lives in the homestead of his father in Walnut Tree hill and the house is presumed to have been built for his grandfather Benedict. The late Edgar Beardsley Shelton was great grandson of Dr John Laborie, his mother Ruth, wife of Alfred Shelton, being daughter of Iemuel Beardslee and Deborah ,daugh- ter of Dr John. The Hawley Record gives the name of a woman who married an Alexander Laborie. Any additional information ceptable.-[ James Boards ley Wheeler, Huntington, May 17. 1892.

Some few weeks ago, Councilman Me- Carthy of the Fourth ward resigned. It is Democratic ward. Last week, the two boards, coucilmen and aldermen, fill ed the vacancy by the appointment of J. s. Freeland, Republican.
 Rev s. B. Moore, former pastor of the Disciples church, is visiting here and preached in their new church, Sunday morning. There were interesting special services in the evening, including brief relations concerning the great conyen- tion in New York by returned delegates. Another drowning accident, last week, very similar in some respects to the drowning of Otto Gerlach, short time since. A young man, P, Charles Feeley, natter, was drowned in Lake Kenosia.
 He, in company with two companions,
 went fishing at the lake, Wednesday. To- ward night, it was proposed to take a plunge and swim, which they proceeded to do. Soon Feeley threw up his arms, called for help, immediately sank and did not rise. The others made an alarm and search was made, but without success. The following day, Thursday, the search was renewed and the body recovered just at night. It was entangled in eel grass in about 12 feet of water. The water was cold at that point, like spring water and apparently the feeder, or one of the feed CTS, of the lake. He probably became chilled and unable to swim.
 Almost every week, some well known citizen drops out of life. Ferris D. Ball died, Saturday morning, aged 72. A modest, conservative man of high moral character. He has resided on Main street for many years and, though pri- vate citizen and of rather reserved manner, he was as we'll known as any man in the city. He had no lingering, painful sickness, but went down gradual ly and died as a lamp burns low and goes out for lack of oil. His was a natu- ral, quiet, unassuming life and his death a natural, easy translation.
 We have representatives from all lands. A Finlander got considerably cut up in row at the Mountainville resort for drink and general rowdyism and was taken to the hospital for repairs. The cutting was done by one of his countrymen. Dan bury has scores of such resorts, licensed by the county commissioners. Anti-sa- loon men used to vote against license, until it seems they became discouraged, as the majority for the saloon increased every succeeding year and now no vote is taken.

No one can doubt the politics of the oc- .cupants of the Naples, k. s. Hinman's residence on. the Housatonic river. On the river bank, in letters made of daisies imbedded in the turf and made large enough to be read from the cars on the Derby extension, are the words, 1.-The Maples-Harrison.' MT Hinman has no place to swing regular banner, so he has adopted this novel and extremely pretty method of declaring his senti- ments.- Sentinel.

My heart was heavy, for it's trust had been Abused, It's kindness answered with foul
 wrong;
 So. turning gloomily from my fellow men, One summer Sabbath day. I strolled among The green mounds of the village burial place Where, ponlering how all human love and
 hate,
 Find one sad level and how. soon or late, Wronged and wrong doer, each with meek
 ened face And cold hands folded over n still heart, Pass the green threshold ot our common
 grave, whither all footsteps tend, whence none de
 part; Awed for myself and pitying my race, Our common sorrow, like mighty wave, Swept all my pride away and, tren,bling,I for.

There was bishop in Dublin who engaged painter to make large picture for the ca- thedral. The subject chosen was the crossing Of the Red sea by the Israelites. After time. the picture was completed and hung in the cathedral, covered by heavy curtain and a great crowd of people assembled to see it un- yelled. All faces were turned in expectation 10 the curtain. But loi when it was drawn aside, nothing could be seen but 8 vast ex- panse of water. In a great rage, the bishop turned to the artist and exclaimed: q thought asked you to paint picture Of the Israelites crossing the Red seap' "True for you; that's just it,'' said the painter. But where are the Israelites?n asked the indig. nant bishop. "They're gone over," said the painter. s.Well, butwhere are the Egytians2,' .They're gone under!"
 The following verse contains all the letters in the alphabet, and may be used as an exer- else for children in teaching the letters:

 And quickly hears the sheep's low cry;
 But man, who tastes the finest wheat,
 Should joy to lift his praise on high.

LOSING PRICES OF CALIFORNIA STOCKS.
san Francisco, Feb. IL 1892.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, FEB lip. m.
The business at the Stock Exchange to-day
far beyond previous records. The reported trans
actions were nearly 100000 shares, and prob
ably the actual business was larger by several
hundred thousand shares. The anthracite coal
stocks were the GENRE OF interest, and the deal
ings in Reading alone We're about one-third Of
the total transactions. The Official opening OF
this stock was 81 1-?, but in difIerint parts of
the group sales were made at widely different
figures. The first prices were the lowest. aud. al
though the last were not the highest Reading
closed with an advance OF 5-s per cent, and the
other coal stocks gained from to per cent IL
should be noted. however, that outside the coal
stocks the transactions were nearly 500, 900 shares.
There were extraordinary transactions in Eric.
w-England and NewYork, Ontario and West
ern, which were regarded as likely to derive
secondary advantage from the coal combination.
In the absence Of definite details Of the arrange
ment between the Reading and the lehigh Val
ley and New-Jersey Central companies, II is I'm
possible to say whether other companies Will de-
rive any advantage from the combination, or even
whether 'he arrangement will be maintained for
term Of years. The advance in TIE price Of
Reading measures the possible advantages TO that
company in The control Of production and Of prices
of coal Its added power involves new obligations.
however, and mere economies IN management may
not be sufficient 10 counerbalancc them. IL Is
hardly credible that the Lehigh Valley and New
Jersey Central companies have assented TO an alb
seute lease and it must be Inferred therefore, that
the arrangements may be terminated whenever
these companies are not satisfied with the pay
ments and policy Of the Reading Railroad. 1t is
popularity supposed, of course that the control of
Reading is now held in the interest of a synd
cate which includes the vanderbilts, the Penn
sylvana Railroad, and possibly Jay Gould. There
other hand, it may be asserted with little fear
of contradiction that none Of these interests is
engaged in the present deal.' The Vanderbilts
