Commenting upon Congressman
Grout's proposition to settle post'oflice
controversies by caucus, Harris Weekly
remarks:
Congressman Powers emphatically
will not follow the example of Gen.
Grout in the matter of postofiices. The
Judge has no faith whatever in caucuses,
believing that the patrons of an office
who receive the largest amount of mall
should receive the most consideration
There is general suspicion abroad that
Gen. Grout has inaugurated lively seas
on with the caucus regime.

OBITUARY..
CATHERINE POWERS,

Y Al her home on Washington street In this
village at 40 O'Clock on the afternoon of
Thursday, November IL, 1896, the spirit OF
lifelong resident of Middle bury started on
Its journey into that land from whence no
traveller ever returns, there to join the loYea
ones gone before. Catherine Powers was
born nj Rpton, III this county, on the l4th
day OF February, 1870, where erparents were
soiourninR tor short time. She was the
oldest OF Il family OF three children and the
daughter OF Charles Tinney ana his wife
Mary (Clough) Tinney and came to Middle.
bury with her parents when only few
months old. since which time she has always
lived on Wa ashingtOn street IN this village,
and here her brother Moses and sister Lucy
were born. Her brother died in the West in
1850, where the greater part OF his active
business lite was spent. Her sister still sur
wives her ana lives AT the home OF the family
on Washington street. Mrs. Powers was
married January ], 1851, to John Powers, tor
many years one OF the active business men
OF Middlebury and who is still pleasantly re-
membered in this community, and began her
new life in the dwelling house now occupied
by Horace Cushman on Washington street.
Later she removed TO the residence long oc.
cupied by herself and family, where she died.
MI. Powers died al the same place in Decem-
Der, 1890 Mrs. Powers was the mother of
three children, all of whom survive her. Mrs.
Powers possessed in marked degree that
broad spirit OF Christian charity towards all
and malice towards none that endears those
who have il to all with whom they come in
contact. During long acquaintance, lasting
from bOyhood to middle lite, the writer never
knew her TO speak an unkind word OF any
one. and she had an ever.ready sympathy for
all, and any one in trouble or distress Of any
kind never looked to her in vain for help and
comfort
The funeral services were held at ST. Mary
church Mt o'clock "A. IN. on Sunday, the
18th inst, Rev. Jerome NJ. Gelot, rector of
the parish, officiating, and the interment was
in the Catholic cemetery in the west part of
the village. Friends and relatives came from
Saratoga, Burlington, Bennington and Cana
da to attend the services and many neigh
bors and friends living i'm the community
were present to testify to the esteem in which
the deceased was he'd. The casket was
covered with many beautiful flowers, the
gift OF friends, whose tribute of sympathy was
appreciated by the family. The grave was
tastefully trimmed with evergreens and the
earthly remains OF her who i'm life had been
warm and faithful friend, "A loving and de.
voted wife, kind and Indulgent mother,
/ were laid to rest.
