DEATH OF MRS SARAH E. TRowBRIDGE.
 Passed from this to higher state of existence at the residence of her sister in Norfolk, Mrs Sarah Earl Trowbridge, widow of the late Philo M. Trowb ridge, on the 18th day of March, at the age of 76 years. Her husband had passed '.be- yond the river'' 20 years earlier. She reached good old age but for more than 30 years she had been a. confirmed invalid. Since the death of her hus band she had resided with her sisters in Nor folk, who tenderly cared for her with true sisterly affection, soOthed the evening of her dayssand smoothed her passage to the grave. She was married Uo Dea Trowbridge September Is, 1887, and during all the years that she retained her health she was most faithful and energetic helpmeet in all the, duties of life and, very affective assistant to him in all his numerous public and private duties. They had no children but they were lovingly attached to, and helpful to those of other persons, having adopted and reared several, among them was the late Adjudant Samuel c. Barnum, who received his death wound at Cold Har- bor. At more than three score and ten, though filled with good works, what is life? At .best,s an evanescent dream, the briefest introduction to the great forever! How seldom it is that we prop erly appreciate quiet, ulostentatious and useful life. How rarely such life attracts even our serious attention til it has been removed from us. Then per- haps with fond regret, we remember the many kind acts, the noble sacrifices of those who have tr odden the journey of life with us, but whom our pleasant dwelling places will know no more for ever. The glad voice, recollection; the beaming eye and genial countenance, g memory the loved form, phantom Mrs Trowbridge was admitted & member of the First Congregational church in Woodbury in 1S49, and ever adorned her
 Christian profession. Though she has
 not lived in town for the last 30 years, she chose to retain her membership
 with the dear old church she loved so
 well, and to be buried by the side of her husband in this sweet valley in which she delighted, which latter event took place on Wednesday, the 20th of March, Rev MT Freeman officiating. We cannot doubt that it is well with her. A disen- thralled and purified spirit has gone higher. A happy soul, after years of suffering and weariness, has received the welcome plaudits "Enter into the joy of thy Lord"

A HOUSE SAVED FROM BURNING

HOUSE SAVED FhOM BUhNlNG.
 Quite serious fire was saved by the Ipersistency of w. o. Trask, Fred Warner and c. H. Trask, Friday night. Ten years ago W. o. Trask bought the Steph- en Stone farm. There had to be quite 8 good deal of mason work done: The chimney is one of those large ones with three fues and three fl eplaces. Mrs Trask persisted in having the fireplace in the sitting room bricked up. There is where the fire was discovered. The bricks were so hot you could not bear your hand on them when it was discover ed by Mrs c. H. Trask. She aroused the men folks and w. o. Trask chiseled out the brick and 0. H. Trask drew water and poured on until they thought it was all out and were easy about it, there be- ing oupboards one side the chimney and clothes press the other. It was found the walls were getting hot. They con- cluded there was more fire so they ham, mered out more bricks and found the large beams which went between the bricks on fire. They removed that and 1t was nearly burned away. If they had not worked faithfully the house would have been in ashes before morning. The Pullen fire must have been in some such way. but being in the front part it was not discovered. ". 0. Trask was burned out In Hartford 20 years ago and don't want to be again.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 3.-A
treasury check for one cent, in favor

count with the treasury would be
credited with the warrant on its
presentation to the treasury.

year, paid monthly, and the month
ly warrant is for s4166.66 2-3 (or
S4166. so each month. 1t was found
