She was the daughter of Alvin Stoddard,

telligent young woman who was one of
our best district school teachers, having
taught many terms in this town and in
several adjoining towns. She went to New
York state about the year 1856, followed
school teaching several years, and then
married DR.. Martin of Bust, where she
has since lived. She leaves a husband,

PUTNEY.


The illness of Reuben Blood, which was
not generally known until Monday, termn-
ated fatally on Tuesday night Although
grip in one of its forms, it was not pneu-
mOnia, and the claim cannot be made here
as in most cases which have proved fatal,
that life was far spent, the constitution
undermined, or health on the verge of col
lapse. Mr.. Blood was yet young, i'm the
prime and vigor of manhood, but medical
treatment and such care as could be given
him were without avail. He leaves a
young wife and one child The burial was
on Thursday.
The work of grip and pneumonia was not
yet stayed, and later in the week the
patriarchal form of Oliver Blood was laid
low by its icy touch. Mr.. Blood had been
in failing health for several years, and had
little resistance to offer so persistent an
assailant as the prevailing epidemic. The
funeral was held at the home on Tuesday
last, Rev. II. NJ. Douglas officiating.
Several members of the Blood family are
at present writing very i'll, among them
being Luke Blood, the brother of the de
ceased. None of Mr.. Bloods children were
able to attend his funeral except Adams, the
eldest son. Ollie, the youngest son, was in
the house, but unable to appear at the ser
vice. Reuben died the night following his
fathers funeral, as mentioned in another
item.
In our record of mortality we note the
death of Norman Clough, which followed
closely upon that of Mr.. Miller, reported
last week. 1t will be remembered that he
lost his wife while suffering from insanity
a few years ago Mr.. Clough has since
lived at the old home, caring for his
orphaned children, taking them into the
field with him when he worked, and on his
wagon when he went about town on bust
ness, and bestowing on them great deal
of paternal devotion. Mr.. Clough's illness
was such as medical art has not learned to
battle, and he was gone as with breath,
The children are now being cared for at
DOrr Clough'S.

The weeks Death Record.

Plummer Prouty died on Wednesday,
aged 50 years, 3 months. The primary
cause of his death was the grip, which de-
veloped into pneumonia. He was born in
Spencer, Mass, where he lived until 1857,
when he removed to this town. He was
the last of a family of ID children. He
was twice married, his first wife dying in
1868. In 1865 he married Miss Maria
Witt, who survives him. Mr. Prouty was
the father of three children, two of whom
are living-Jason w. of Brattleboro and
John II. of Albany, N. Y. For many
years Mr.. Prouty has been member OF the
Congregational church and was a constant
attendant upon religious services. His fu-
neral will be held from his late residence
this, Friday, afternoon, Rev. Mr.. McKen-
zie officiating.

body was expected yesterday, but did not
arrive: it came this morning, and the flu
neral will be held at the Baptist church

cheerful, encouraging letters, but in the
few days previous to his death he failed
rapidly. Mr. Strong was born in Stock
bridge, this state, 40 years ago, and lived
there until his marriage, when he went to
Methuen. Mass. He had lived in Brattle-
boro for 20 years. being employed at the
Estey shops. He was married % years
ago, the maiden name OF MS wire, WHO sur
wives him, being Mary Carleton. Four
children were born to them, two of whom,
a son and daughter, are living. Mr. Strong
was an active member of the Knights of
Honor and was an associate member of the
Y. NJ c. A. He had been for many years
member of the Baptist church, and was
a teacher in the Sunday school until failing
health compelled him to relinquish that
work. He was man of peculiarly up
right and straightforward character, mod
est in his demeanor, and held in the high
est respect by those who knew him best.

Polly Saved the VaIuables.

We had moved into a newly built
house, which had all the modern inn
provements. the electric bell being one
of them.
1t was a cold winters night. Mr. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but i'll the dining room. which was
up stairs.
She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a clever bird, studied on this for long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered The room being
dark they could not see the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button OF
the electric bell.
1t brought the servants to the dining
room, where, after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as reward for her valuable as
sistance. Cor. New York Recorder.
