TOO MUCH CHLORAL.
Chris. Klinglie Accidentally Takes That
Route to Rest.

Chris. Klingle died very suddenly
Tuesday evening. Nobody knows how
or what the cause Of his death was. 1t
is thought, however, that he accident
ally committed suicide.
Mr. Klinglie was q harness maker
and was for number of years an en-
ploye of Thos. English. He was about
40 years old at the time of his death.
He has not been in Mr.. English's en-
ploy for about two years. During that
time he has been living at Mrs. Jae-
gers near the depot. 1t seems that he
believed himself troubled with some
sort of heart affection and that COM
bined with great nervousness often
prevented his sleeping we'll nights.
Whenever he imagined himself under
such an attack of these affections it
was his habit to 90 at once to saloon
and fill himself full of BOOZE" after
which he took choral to clean himself
out and put himself to- sleep. Tues
day evening he was sleepless and
it is thought he took a dose of the
choral, and that he got down a large
overdose. His condition was discover
ed and Dr.. Pugh sent for. Before the
doctor could reach him, however, he
was beyond human assistance.
Mr.. Klinglie's remains were removed
to the morgue and this morning Mr..
English notified his relatives by wire in
Burlington. He had no relatives here.
No arrangements for the funeral have
vet been made.

KENOsHA, Wis, Jan. Z, 1895.
Hon. MAYOR and Common Council of
the City Of KenoshG:
GENTLEMEN Complaints are con-
stantly coming in about the gas from
catch basins, and | have been giving
considerable attention to remedy.
One great cause is that the mouth of
the sewer is exposed so that the wind
from the lake has full play into it,
forcing the gas out through the basins.
This could be remedied by providing
q hood for the mouth something like
the blower of a CRATE. Another thing
that would help would be to take the
traps that are now in the basins and
replace them with ordinary running
traps Another point is keeping the
sewer and catch basins flushed. To
do this thoroughly, we should have
good tank with about a II inch open
ing, 50 that an amount of water can be
let in at once to fill the sewer, such a
tank can be got for about $40.
Respectfully submitted,

FosTER.-The memory of Edwin II. Fos-

pelier, June II, after lingering illness,
will long be cherished, not only by the
wide circle of his relatives, but by his
townsmen generally. AS he skilfully man.
aged the ancestral farm, which has been the
Foster home for four generations, so he
worthily maintained the honor of his family
name. Until his death, his family circle,
including wife and five daughters, was un-
broken; and he was the first OF the six
children of the late Henry ID. Foster who
reached maturity to pass away. He was a
man OF deeds, rather than words; man Of
great energy, industry, and integrity; a gem
erous and constant supporter of the church
OF his choice; and faithful to his ideas Of

Golden Wedding Of Rev. and Mrs.
Leonard Tenney.

On Wednesday, June &c. 1845, Rev. Leon.
ard Tenney and Malvina Baker were made
man and wife. On Wednesday, June 20,
1895, Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Tenney re-
ceiyed congratulations of children, relatives
and friends on the family circle which
has only gained in numbers since the we'd
ding day fifty years before. OF the forty
who surrounded the bride and groom in
Lebanon, N. H., but four are left, and
one Of these was present in Waterbury at
the golden wedding. Few of all the many
who join hands for the long path are spared
to each other 30 long and 80 well, and 1t
was with pride that their children well
coined the many friends who came bringing
toral services have all been over the aver
age length, and the prime OF his manhood
was spent in three parishes. In every one
he found a divided church, and every one
was left q vigorous and united church.
Sensational and pushing ideas had no place
in his mind. Sincere, devout, modest yet
manly, the simple gospel Of Jesus Christ
has been the soul of his preaching and the
secret Of his daily life, and, through it all,
his most faithful human friend and COM
forter has been the wife who stood by his
side on these two June days.
Both we're beautiful June days, and on
the later one party of nearly fifty of their
friends from Mr.. Tenney's last parish came
down, bearing golden presents in their
hands and golden wishes in their hearts
they could not confine these expressions to
members Of his old parish merely, for 30
many OF his former townsmen insisted on
being represented. Busy men and women
gave up their duties for the priv ege of again
taking the happy couple by the hand and
wishing them many happy returns of the
day. II was time of gladness and tears Of
joy, and husky voices betrayed the enc
ton that could not be concealed. In the
evening their Waterbury friends to the
number OF nearly two hundred, came in
and proved that no pulpit was needed to
demonstrate the ability of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tenney to win friends.
To one who appreciates the trials and
temptations open to one who has stepped
down from pulpit to pew, no tribute would
seem higher than the one paid by the pas.
tor OF the Waterbury church, who spoke
for the Waterbury people. He said: 81 re-
gard Mr.. Tenney as the ideal pdrishioner.
Always kind and sympathetic, always
helpful and considerable of the feelings Of
his younger and more active brother, and
never intruding himself in any way, have
found him the ideal parishioner as others
have found him the ideal pastor" The
day and evening were perfect, the gifts
were generous and large, and the express
sions of love were all that the happy pair
could desire. Great credit is due the
Waterbury friends for the decorations and
refreshments which were so generously
provided, and it is most sincerely to be
hoped that the great pleasure and excite
ment of the day may not weary but only
give new courage to Mr.. and Mrs. Tenney
as they begin their second half century Of
life together,

SUNDAY-SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
OF Washington County Holds a Pleasan
and Profitable Session In Trinit!

OF Washington County Holds Pleasant
and Profitable Session In Trinity
Church.
This body met at Trinity (Methodist)
Church in this city last Thursday morning
and continued in session throughout the
day and evening, Judge W. E. Barney of
Barre presiding Despite the rain, there
was a good attendance of delegates and
others, more than half the schools in the
county being represented After cordial
address of welcome from Rev. A III. Webb,
pastor of Trinity, the convention settled
down to the enjoyment of the long and ex-
cellent programme prepared by the local
committee, of which Charles II. More, su.
perintendent of Bethany Sunday school,
was the efficient secretary.
1t would be useless to attempt to even
summarize the papers and addresses pre-.
sented by so many of the leading pastors
and Sunday-school workers. 1t can only
be said that they covered wide range,
taking in all the most important and timely
notices of special interest to our schools,
from the primary department to the normal
class, and from the relation of the Sunday
school to the young peoples societies to its
place and power in the churches. Rev. G W.
Morrow, president of the State Association,
and l. b. Miller, state field secretary, were
present, and added greatly to the interest
and profit of the meeting by their addresses.
The.former forcibly insisted that the four
most pressing needs of our Sunday schools
were a field secretary, now happily sup
piled, town or district organizations, the
home department in every school, and bet
ter teachers for every class. Mr.. Miller
dwelt upon the importance of forming
normal classes to meet this last need, and
urged the establishment of some system Of
graduation according to which scholars
should be promoted from the primary to the
higher classes, emphasizing the idea that
DoIprovision should be made for graduation
from the school.
Lydia A. Gilman's account of her out
district work was eagerly listened to, and
will certainly encourage and stimulate 9th
ers to attempt the same thing in their own
localities.
The addresses by Rev. Messrs. Enright,
Jackson, Tucker, Earle and Seaver, were
earnest, eloquent and practical, and com
manded the attention and approval of all
present.
The treasurer's report showed that $3.50
was needed to balance his books, including
the expenses of this convention. Under the
efficient leadership of President Morrow,
enough was given and pledged to meet this
amount and leave a surplus in the treasury.
The secretary reported the following sta
tistics of the schools in the county, to which
we append the figures for 1898 for the sake
of comparison:

After heartily adopting resolutions OF
thanks to the church, choir, the committee
OF arrangements and the hospitable women
who had so bountifully provided for the
wants of the delegates, the convention ad-
journed at nine P M, after most pleasant
and profitable session.
