We are called upon to chronicle the sudden death of Mrs Henry Shove, who had scarcely an hours warning that the time for her change had come. This oc- cured at a. m., the 18th inst, and her funeral was oD the 18th. In the death of Mrs Shove one of the best of wives and mothers has been taken from us. The gathering of friends of the family was very large ard the funeral was sufiiciant to pack the house to it's utmost capacity The choir was present and rendered ex ceptionally we'll "Nearer my God to thee," My Jesus as thou wilt' and Shall we meet.'' Brother Frye made the opening prayer. A selection from the Scriptures was read and the special text was "Until my change come." The change wrought in the home by dissolu- tion and the change to the departed spirit. A brief poem was read entitled My wife gone" prepared two years ago when Mrs Shove was given up by the physicians and all the family were as- sembled to bid her farewell. A large company followed the remains to the grave. The burial was in Kent Hollow, Brother Frye officiating at the same.

HORSE RACES ON THE LAKE.

An exhibition of horses by different owners was made on Lake Waramaug, last Saturday afternoon, and the speed of several tested before the largest com pany which has been gathered there since last summer. It was generally conceded that William l.. Hopkins "Redcnf7' showed the best speed, al- though there were several others who trotted well. Five tracks were made from Cheerie Point towards the west of the lake so that several competitors could trot at the same time. It is hoped that more races of a similar nature may take place on the lake before the season is past.

The l ponies seemed to know as soon 8s his | eye was removed from them for they de- | cided to move few steps in the yard unguided, and the result was the run- ming of the hird wheel up on the grade 1 of the yard so far that the stove came out of the wagon without any other help and when found was in so many pieces that all plans for setting up the stove that day was abandoned. Mir Kin ney was therefore obliged to make an- other trip to New Milford on Saturday morning and there leave the stove for general repairs, which we hope will be made in season for him to enjoy the present winter.
