 MINGHAM CALLED UPON TO PERFORM A
 RESPONSIBLE DUTY.
 MT. Alexander Barratt, who recently moved to this city from England to pursue his profession of analytical chemist, died last Saturday after several weeks illness. He was partner with his brother, MT. I. T. Barratt, and was member of several societies. He was very skillful in his pro- fession, and his death, at the age of 30 years, cut short a promising life. On learning of MT. Barratt's death his rela- tives in England cabled E. Erswell, Little- ton &s Co.,. the well-known uudertakers of this city, to enlbaln the body and ship 1t to Liverpool, England. All other ar Tangements, such as securing passage, etc. were also placed in the hands of this firm. The friends of the deceased evi- dently had the utmost confidence iu the reliability of E. Erswell, Li,teton & Co.,, no doutt having seen the firm listed in the International Association of Undertakers, in which only firms are admitted that are thoroughly responsible. In obedience to tho cablegram this undertaking firm em- balmed The body in the most scientific manner, and made all the nfrassary ar- rangen ents for it's passage aero heNa CT on steamer that clears from Ne. York on Saturday. It was quite an undertaking to embalm body for so long 0 journey, but this firm did it successfully and we'll.
