 Mrs. Charlotte Curtis Dean.
 Charlotte Curtis, wife of Dr. Henry s. Dean, of South Coventry, was stricken with cerebral apoplexy the morning of Sept. 3. She remained unconscious all day, and at 10 o'clock in the evening "passed into the beyond" For years Mrs. Deans health had been frail, and the sudden death of Benoni Irwin, the husband of her niece, at the lake Aug. 18th, gave her shock from which she never recovered, though in the early morn ing of the day on which she was stricken with the fatal disease she seemed so bright and cheerful that the family did not think "the valley of the shadow" so near. Mrs. Dean was one of family of seven, chill dren of Marvin Curtis, of whom but two who resides elsewhere, and Lucien, who is spending the sum- mer in town. Her home until her mar riage was on South street, and first as pupil, then as teacher, and always as friend and helper, she has had an interest in the SOuth-st. school. See was married May 17th, 1854, to Dr. Henry s. Dean, and their home in the village has been one from which the sick and discouraged carried hope and comfort. She loved the best, and had way to cause others to choose tho best. Good literature was her delight, and she knew where to find it's gems. Her home was made beautiful by flowers at all seasons. "I cannot do much, but must be classed with those who stand and wait," she once said, and her service was in remem mbering the sick and the children by little tokens of thoughtfulness which were prized for her sake; in watching at night for the return of the doctor, lest the message intrusted to her of the need of his attendance on the suffering should be delayed; in making 8 real home for husband and son, which home making she regarded as one of the highest duties of woman. Saturday af- ternoon, Sept. 5th, at the house, the fu- neral services were conducted by her pas tor, Rev. B. F. Perkins, and by the hands of her kinsmen, Sec W.C.Mowrey, VIC. Jillson, Clarence Curtis and MT. Marcy, she was laid in her resting place on the hill crest overlooking the lake, and her grave covered with beautiful flowers.

 Coroner Phelps of Rockville was called Monday to hold an inquest over the re- mains of the child of Jasper and Gather inc Weeks (colored). The child was about five weeks old, and was left in pas ture soon after birth to die, but was found by MT. Sparrow, and the parents were tried for exposure of the infant with in- tent to abandon. Justice Brown dis charged the prisoners, claiming there was not sufficient evidence to hold them. Monday morning the child died and Dr. Simmons was called, and he reported the case to the coroner. The child was much emaciated and the physician thought it may have died from lack of nourishment. The parents and Mrs. Underwood, with whom they reside, say everything was done for the child that could be done The coroner reserved his findings for the present.
