A FINE MONUMENT.

Charles J. Hughes of the Stratford granite works, has just completed and set a monument in the Newtown ceme- tery for the family of the late Wanzer Platt. The material is Scotch granite, from the celebrated Hill O'Fare quarries and was built from special plans sent to Scotland by Mir Hughes and the com pleted work imported direct from the quarry. It is in sarcophagus form and stands on base of American granite. Neat markings are placed at the head of each grave and on the monument are in- scribed the names of the different mem- bers of the family with the dates of their birth and death. The entire monument, with the exception of the base, is highly polished and forms an attractive addition to the many lspecimens of fine work which this concern has placed in the cemetery.

MRS J. D. WOOD,
An Appreciativs Tribute to Mrs Woods Charac
 ter, by Rev Thomas A. Hyde.

While millions of our sorrowing race
 are casting flowers and speaking tributes
 of love and praise over the departed great
 ones of the world, we turn our eyes to
 one so near and dear to us that we can
 call her our own. Our community weeps
 for one, who although she aspired to no
 public bonors, yet belongs to that class
 of faithful heroic women, whose devo-
 tion and love make it possible for our
 country to give birth to heroes. In the
 death of Mrs John D. Wood, Westport
 has in truth lost helpful spirit. In the
 social life of our community there is left a most sorrowful void.
 She did much to uplift public friend ship and make our relations with each other hopeful, cheerful and ennObling.
 Her faithful devotion to the interests, welfare and prosperity of our town shall ever shine as brilliant star, pointing onward and leading the way to still greater improvement. Who will ever forget the sweetness of her smiling face, as her gentle hands worked long and pa- tiently to make our public and charita- ble entertainments success. God blessed her labors, and monuments of her work remain to speak of her in future times, The Episcopal church in Vest port and Christian people in other places mourn her loss. We can see her ev- en as if of yesterday as she appeared to us in the worship or social gathering of the church. Ever cheerful, kind and thoughtful she drew all to her; the poor, the rich, the friendless and forsaken. The sad and Respondent felt a thrill of hope when she was near. She had all the elements of a great Christian leader. Those clements of mind and heart, hope fulness, faithfulness and ability 10 plan and act, to reconcile and to unite, that give help and support to earnest pastors in their church duties.
 The domestic life was happy and good. A faithful wife, she loved her husband with devotion only surpassed by her loyalty to Christ. We always saw them together and the picture was indeed beautiful. God only can soothe his grief and fill the dark cheerless void left in his heart that burned with equal ardor and equal love. Our dear friend has left us. Her spirit has flown, sweetened by the tokens of our affection, the tears and | flowers we cast upon her grave, through | the golden gates of human and divine love DisconsOlate we mourn, We would | fain call her back. But God is wiser than man. His wisdom is inscrutable | and his dealings with men past finding his spirit; the candle is extinguished and our homes are dark, but her spirit is full of light. Earth is made poorer by her departure, but Heaven has become rich er.-[ Rev Tho mas A. Hyde.

DEATH OF THOMAS A. DORIAN, JR.

Died, Monday, February 6, after an illness of but five days, at the home of his father on Greenwood avenue, Thom- as A. Doran, Jr., aged g years. On Thursday of last week he was taken se- verely ill, and his illness soon developed into species of that dread disease, peri tonitis. On Saturday the physicians in attendance decided that his condition was such that he must die, and his only chance of life lay in performing an oper- ation, and even that they did not hold out as surety. Accordingly, Dr Bull of New York city was telegraphed for and on Saturday afternoon, he, assisted by the other physicians, performed the operation, which was successful and the patient was relieved, and for a day or two it seemed as though he was going to recover. But on Monday niornirga new on, the patient continued to grow worse, and on Monday night he passed away. The deceased was native of B ethel and has passed his entire span of life there among her people and to many of them he was we'll known, and in being known by them meant being the possessor of their utmost esteem and respect. He was young man of whom it can be tru- ly said he possessed rare qualities of character, being thoroughly honest and upright in every way and of strictly temperate habits. He was a hat finisher | by trade, serving the time of his appren- ticeship at the factory of Baird < Levi. At the time of his death he worked at the factory of Andrews, Mackenzie & Co.,, where he has worked for number of years. He was a member of the Eu- reka hook and ladder company, No. l, and as mark of their respect and es- teem for him they have draped their truck house with the emblems of mourn ing and have also fioated the flag from the top of the building at half mast.
