MRS. FRANCES P. BIGELOW.

Mrs Bigelow died suddenly in Chicago of heart disease, on or about the 1st of this month; the exact date of her death is not yet known to her relatives in this town. One telegram, however, stated that she was to be buried at Elkhart, Ind, on the Sd inst.
 The deceased was born in this town and WAS 84 years old. Her father. James Fenn, or Squire Fenn" as he was generally called, was one ot the more prominent men of the town, and her mother, whose maiden name was Lois Sedgwick and who was related to the Sedgwicks of Cornwall and Berk- shire county, was a woman far above the ordinary in both personal and in. tellectual endowments. There were three sons and four daughters, none of whom are now living except one, Mrs Caroline King. The subject of this sketch was married to Augustus Bige- low, of Lebanon. N. Y. Early in their married life they removed to Ohio, where Mir Bigelow engaged in farming Forty years ago they returned to this town. the decliniug years of MT Fem making the presence of his daughter very desirable. MT Bigelow died about fifteen years ago. Their children, The ophilus Fenn and James, are still living.
 Mrs Bigelow was in many respects a remarkable woman. In person she was tall and of commanding presence. She was very intellectual in her tastes, very we'll informed and intelligent on a great variety of subjects. She was very fond Of reading, not only the newspa- pers but also many good books. She was also a great lover of nature and possessed an extensive knowledge of the botany of this region. Her removal to the West some years ago was deeply regretted by large circle of neighbors and friends, who esteemed her very highly on account of her kind-hearted, neighborly traits and her agreeable com panionship. Since leaving this town she has lived in Dakota with her son, Dr James Bigelow; in Elkhart, Ind, with friends; and lastly in Chicago with her niece, Mrs Low. Her letters to relatives here and to the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS give evidence of her tender attachment to her native town and her old friends. We feel sure that those who knew her will hear of hei death with profound sorrow.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Sixty Years a Weaver.


 Editor of Ne,os
 A few months ago you gave us an in- teresting item telling the great number of yards of rag carpeting which had been woven by lady of this town. Miss Weltha Ann Beckley, during her life time Perhaps another item in the same line may be readable.
 Mrs Susan O. Dean, of this place, has also been weaver for sixty years, but, unfortunately, she has no record of the many thousands of yards of linen and woolen cloth, carpets, etc., made pre- vious to the year 1871. But since that time she has woven 10.224 yards of car pet, and 36 rugs. Her weaving has been in addition to the usual work of the house, and, until recently, making butter from the milk of several cows Her husbands prosperity was largely due to the efficient labors of his help meet. As she is nearly seyenty-eight years old, she proposes, hereafter, to rest somewhat from her labors, and let the younger people have chance.
 Her loom will probably not be sent to the Columbian Exposition, but it is wor- thy of place there. M. H. DEAN. Falls Village, Conn, Feb 1, 1893.

Harvey Steel Plates,

The Army and Navy Gazette of Lon don say that the British admiralty have decided to adopt the Harvey process of hardening armor plates for war vessels. The system of Mir Harvey consists in treating, by his own process, the sur face of the plates ''so as to change them into high grade of very hard steel without causing their backs to lose their original toughness" and by hay ing the two conditions so elided that there is no sudden line of demarcaticn as is the case with the English plates This is another triumph for American inventive genius. Mir H. A. Harvey is we'll known to East Canaan people, hay ing been an occasional visitor to that part of our town for many years.
