 In the obituary of Mendol Mowry last week Mrs. Harriet o. Whitman should read Mrs. Harriet o. Whitmore, and Rev. Samuel s. Goodell, of Staffordville, should be Rev. Leonard s. GoodelI.
 Albert M. Carpenter, reference to whose decease was made in The Press of last week, was born in North Woodstock, June 4th, 1848. His father was Amasa Carpenter, prominent business man of that day, who later located at Cleveland, Ohio, and was taken away in July, 1854. His mother was Mary, the eldest daugh- ter of the late Hon. Michael Richmond of Westford. She died at Westford, August, 1888. After the death of his father he resided with his Grandfather Richmond and with the exception of two or three years, spent at Bridgeport. and some years later year or two near Phila- delphia, his life was spent at Westford, engaged principally in farming. He was an attendant and supporter of the Vest ford Baptist church and for some years a member of the choir. MT. Carpenter was an influential member of the demo- cratic party of Ashford, and while not in any sense an aspirant for political honOrs | held the office of assessor for time and was often moderator, at town meetings In 1877, when 30 years of age, he repre- sented the town in the Connecticut legis. lature and was one of the youngest mem bers of that body, MT. Carpenter married Dec. 21st. 1881, Miss Eva M., daughter of Loomis Stowell of Westford, who survives him. Of his brothers and sis ters two survive him-Edward a promi nent business man of Collingwood, On tario, and Susan who since the deceast of the mother has spent much time witt the brother at Collingwood. He did his life work we'll and was of the best typt of good citizenship, highly respected by all who knew him, an excellent neighbo and friend, who will be missed in thu community where he was so we'll an( favorably known. Of genial and kind ly disposition he made friends steadily retained them to the end and probabl, had not an enemy. His influence in tn community was always exerted for it best interests. For year or two pas he has been in failing health, with con sumptive tendencies strongly developing so that the length of his life has been fo some time past only question of a fev montEs. A trip to the Adirondack regiol in the summer of 1885, did not give tn desired improvement. The end cam Thursday, April 2d, and funeral service were held at the Baptist church, Sunday April 9th, Rev. George c. Chappell, tn pastor, officiating. The large attendanc at the funeral was a substantial token O the love and respect in which the decease was held.

 Considerable business was transacted at the short calendar term of the superior court, at Rockville, Tuesday. The case of M. J. WorthingtOn vs. H. J.

 Next Sunday morning, if the day is pleasant, sermon will be preached at Crystal Lake from the text used by Bish- op Asbury just one hundred years ago at 8 conference held in West Thompson. We shall endeavor to make the meeting one of unusual interest. Everybody at- tending will receive most cordial welcome.
 The funeral of Angelo M. Aborn in the Methodist church at Crystal Lake was largely attended, the resident pastor conducting the service. Several errors which have found place in the papers in connection with Aborn's tragical death requre correction: He was not the son of the Aborn who was one of the princi. pals in the fatal fight in Rockville years ago, but of Morton Aborn, man esteem ed by his neighbors, who died at the early age of 37 years. The murdered mans wife is not dead, but he has been divorced from two wives, both still living. He was not @ constant thinker of intoxicante to excess, and was much opposed to liquor being sold at the lake. Neither Aborn nor Hunter were shiftless men in the line of work. Aborn has relatives of sterling responsibility in this vicinity, and Hunter has the same in New York, where he was born. Hunter has naturally unusual strength of mind, which would have made itself we'll manifest in commendable ways if he had remained stranger to the mon ster, rum. Abo1n was born in the house where the fatal quarrel occurred.
