Death or Mrs. Chester Lee.


Mrs. Chester Lee died suddenly on
Monday morning, aged 81 years. About
3 o'clock she awakened her husband and
complained of feeling i'll and almost i'm
mediately expired. Her maiden name was
Lydia Crouch and she was married TO Mr..
Lee Dec. 5, 1888, and their golden we'd
ding anniversary was observed in 1888.
They have always resided in this town
upon the farm where Mr.. Lee was born.
The old homestead was sold many years
ago and Mr. Lee built for himself his
present very comfortable and convenient
home. Rarely do we find a couple whose
lives have been so strongly marked with
the characteristics of good citizenship, viz,
strict integrity and industry, economy and
thrift, temperance in all things, a gener-
Gus liberality and conscientious discharge
of their duties to society and their church,
which is the Universalist denomination.
Mrs. Lee was remarkably kind and
motherly woman whom all respected and
loved, one of whom the passage of scrip
ture, Proverbs xxxI., 27-28, is & most fit
ting description. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee had
three children, the eldest daughter, Flora,
died several year ago; K. o. Lee Of this
town, and Mrs. Melissa Mason OF Bethel,
Me-, who came to attend the funeral
which was held on Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. Mr.. Leavitt Of Brattleboro officiating.

A spinning wheel attracted considerable
attention and created some merriment.
After the younger ladies of the party had
tried hand at spinning (some of them for

in-law, aged respectively 81 and 81 years,
declared that they could still Guido "the
girls in spinning, and each took turn at
the wheel, winding up thread after thread
OF fine, even yarn. The children and
grandchildren in attendance presented an
entertaining program, which included vocal
and instrumental music and select readings
suited to the times and the event. The
pastor, Rev. F. S. Bickford, then led in
prayer and all joined in singing "God be
with you till we meet again"
Attention was now directed toward the
dining-roOm, where refreshments were
served. The table was dainlily decorated
with gold-colored chrysanthemums, which
were tied with ribbons of the same shade,
and which were also provided as souvenirs
for the guests. 1t was also laden with all
the good things for which one could wish,
even at genuine wedding. The bride of
50years ago cut the brides cake, which, very
appropriately, was gold cake. Although
the invitations requested "no presents"

the rule and as a token of their esteem and
with many good wishes presented purse

Fight with . Lynx.

Henry Williams had an experience with
an ugly customer Monday when going to
his traps he had set near "Bloodsucker"
pond. He saw an animal only feet from
him perched upon a rock. He had with
him revolver which he fred twice, but
without effect. He then got his double
barrel gun, which was a short distance
away, and shot one barrel at the beast with
no better effect, whereupon the animal
jumped upon him knocking him down.
His dogs came to his rescue but the animal
soon sent the dogs end over end and
perched himself again upon the rock ready
TO renew the fight. By this time Williams
had regained his feet, and taking better
aim fred the other barrel which brought
down his game. BY the help of the dog
he got it with no other damage than a
somewhat torn suit Of clothes and bloody
face. He returned to the village with his
game about noon. The animal was a lynx
nd measured four feet four inches in
length, and weighed "a pounds.
Through the courtesy Of the press l desire to
acknowledge my appreciation of the kind sympa'
thy of friends and neighbors to me in my great
sorrow. MRS FRED SPRAoUE.

Bradley Newell Makes n Highly Cred
the Boston Journal.
OF all the members Of the legislature, the one
most often pointed out is Bradley c. Newell, &C.
cording TO a correspondent of the Boston Journ-
al. Mr.. Newell submits to the curiosity, and,
many times, TO the impertinence of the public
with unfailing good humor, and always has a
pleasant word for anyone wishing to see him. In
this way he makes himself popular with both the
public and his brother members. His principal
chum among the latter is a healer of the sick
also, but of an older school, Dr. Ward of Reads
boro, and the two are often seen together strolng
about the city when the legislature is not In SEES
sion The two gentlemen live in neighborins viii
lagos when at home. but their difference of meth
DDS apparently causes no friction between them
Although Mr.. NeEell no longer actively pur-
sues his art of healing, patients come to him
here every day from different parts of the state
and he never refuses to attempt their relief. He
is often called from his seat on the floor of the
house for this purpose, and occasionally treats
patients IN the corridors of the state house.
When Speaker Lord made up the committees
Of the lower house of the general assembly and
placed Healer Newell on the committee on public
health many people professed TO regard II as
good joke, and laughed accordingly. Mr. New
ell however, took it all in seriousness as'there is
no doubt Speaker Lord intended, and no member
of the committee has done more regular and
faithful service than he. He il nearly always
present at the meetings Of the committee and
takes his turn in reporting the bills back to the
house.
Other members of the committee state that
Mr. Newell has a keen perception of the proprie
ties of legislation and is always anxious to have
the work of the committee such that it will re
feet credit upon its members
Taken as a v hole Bradley c. Newell as a legis-
latoT has been a disappointment, but one of the
kind of disappointments that it is pleasure to
find. When he was elected the people Of the
state generally deemed it a practical joke on the
stat, played by the people of Nottingham. They
have learned that the town of Nottingham show
ed good judgment in the matter and has sent a
clean, ca pable well-mesning and upright citizen
