SAD DEATH OF MISS BEARDsLEY.

The remains of Miss Grace Beardsley were brought to Roxbury for burial on Thursday of last week. The circum- stances attending the death of Miss Beardsley were very sad and unexpect- ed. She had been at school in Hartford during the past year and was spending the summer with her mother, Mrs Lewis Beardsley, who was staying with weal- thy family at their home at Norfolk, Conn. One morning she went out to go bathing with the children of the house, and when in about two feet of water call ed their attention and told them to see her swim. She dove into the water and on coming to the surface commenced walking backward in a strange manner until she got out beyond her depth and sank to the bottom. Some young men who were bathing near by came to the rescue and soon had her on the shore, but life had gone out of her body. Med- ical aid was summoned and it was pro- nounced case of heart disease. The funeral service was held at the church on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and was largely attended. Rev MT Eisleane con- ducted the services at the church and Rev MT Humphrey performed the Epis- copal burial service at the grave. The floral tributes were very beautiful. Be- side mother she leaves one broth CT to mourn her loss.
 GOOD FISH STORY, PROBABLY TRUE.
 Sergeant Nicholson reports poor luck fishing for eels, having set some lines. On taking them up he only found one that weighed four pounds, one of three pounds and two of two pounds each; al so turtle that weighed 20 pounds. This so discouraged him that he has discon- tinued his fishing until the river rises, as it is the lowest ever known.

MISS GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor

Once there lived a man so kindly
He was loved by los and high,
And his friends increased in number
AS the eircling years fiew by.
Every Christrnastide, however,
Brought him trouble and dismay;
While his list OF friends grew longer,
Grew his purse the other way.
Much he pordered, sad and weary,
Till his brain was fairly numb,
And his soul was filled with rapture
When idea struck him plumb.
Straight he solved the puzzling question
After thinking long and hard,
By inyenting-bless his hendpiecel-
The ll-present Christmas card.
