In the death of Mrs. Lucinda Oenison)
Martin, the town has lost one of its old
est inhabitants, the Congregational
church one of its oldest members. Mrs.
Martin was 81 years of age and had
been a member of the church for 60 years
the church records showing but two
names of earlier entry, among its present
membership. She vas a woman of
great energy and firm decision; of I'M
firing industry continued till long past
her SOth year, though in circumstances
O requiring labor. She labored from
real owe of activity as well as from force
of lifelong habit. Having no children of
her own she nevertheless acted a mothers
part towards a large family of nephews
and n%ieces, for whom she felt the deepest
interest and freely used her means. She
has been rewarded by their devoted at
~tention during her last years, since the
death of her husband. One, a Mrs.
Chamberlin of St. Johnsbury, was able
t be with her during her last sickness
and do all a daughter could have done.
With a firm faith in her Savior and with
out a fear she approached the end. Her
last connected words were, Let me to
thy bosom fly" as thai stanza was being
sung at her bedside. The community
will miss one whom it looked upon as a
plain kind hearted woman, a generous
faithful friend, and a sincere Christian.

A Word to Democrats.

AS the day of election is now at
hand the question naturally arises in
the minds OF. Democrats who they will
support for Governor. Their own
candidate, Mr.. Theodore Winters, is
not making any fight and does not ex-
pect to win. In fact he only auth or
lied the use of his name to keep up
his party organization. The fight Of
course 10 between John E. Jones, tho
Silver party nominee, and A. c..
Cleveland. the Republican nominee.
We do not think there can be any
difference Of opinion among the
Democratic voters of Storey county
as to which of the two should be
elected. John E. Jones' record
shows that he has always been the
friend of the miner, and is a miner
himself, while Cleyeland's record
shows that he has been, and perhaps
still is, the paid agent of railroad cor
porations. AS agents of railroad cor
poration do not, ais a rule, work en-
tirely for the best interests of the
people we think it is always safer to
keep them out of Office. "A word to
the wise is sufficient. - Virginia

Vote Yes.

Aside from the Constitutional
Amendments, upon which a majority
Of our citizens will vote no at the
coming election, vote will be taken
to ascertain the sentiment of the peo-

whether the election shall continue as
now to be made by the Legislature
OF the State, or by the direct vote Of

stitutional amendment disfranchlsinp

as they press forward. When still
more closely pursued they spring to
the height of several feet, lean
over each other in singular confusion,
again sinking beneath the waves.
Still further urged they mount again.

without once dipping beneath Or
scarcely seeming to touch the water
1t has been judged that on occasions
more than 10000 of these terror
stricken fish have been out of water
together, striving to elude a hungry
foe. Though the fins of this fish
are many they are small, and the
pectoral far from large. Consequent.
ly that they are capable of such
flights of speed is wonderful The
angle of articulation Of the fins is
we'll adapted to raise the fish by the

from it's tail and finlets.-L San Fran

fish belonging to the goldfish family
only about four inches long, and
seemingly almost transparent, with
the exception of jet black cross ex-
tending down the back, with side
arms pointing down and outward

cross" appears to be but variety OF
the above described species, resem-
bling it in general outline of form
In this variety the skin is Of more
decided red and the tail broader and
more flattened. 1t takes its common
name from the fact that both sides
are marked with perfect figures OF
