FAIRLEE.

The community was stricken with
sorrow by the dispatch received last
week Thursday morning saying that
Mrs. F. w. Abbott died at the Lowell
hospital where she went for treatment.
The funeral took place Saturday at the
Union church which was filled with
friends from adjoining towns where
she had lived and was known. lhc
respect and love of her friends was
shown by the tasteful gifts and designs
of flowers. Rev. Mr.. Barnard of Brad
ford officiated and his remarks were
very fine. Words OF comfort were
spoken to the bereaved husband and
friends. 1t is also very sad for her
brother Sumner of this place and Ed
ward of Lyme TO part with their much
loved and respected sister. Four Ma
sonic brothers acted as bearers. The
remains were taken to Post Mills Gem
etery for interment under the pure
white snow, when springs gentle
showers, shah clear the snow
decked grave let it be strewn with
the flowers of which she was so fond,
to remind the Guardian Angel and
friends that she is remembered as one
always first to aid and assist when call
ed upon. Let brotherly love be eX

May her type of goodness be a guide
and comfort to us all.

While on the subject of funny things
that come to our attention, | must not
overlook little occurrence down at the
federal building late last week. Judge
Aldrch of the United States court, one
of the most popular and affable men on
the bench, was holding court there, and
as usual proceeded to his duties wearing
an excellent specimen of the latest style
headgear. Leaving his shining, we'll
polished tile in the chamber courtroom,
the judge proceeded to administer law
and deal out justice in his usual graceful
manner. His work for that session being
finished he started to leave the room, but
he could find no hat Marshal Swift and
other officers came to his aid, but the
desired covering for the judicial head
was gone. Some fellow had walked away
with the hat, and perhaps because the
mirror made him appear gentleman in
the borrowed tile had taken the looking
glass also. OF all the well-developed
heads around the government building,
no one took a hat of the judges size, and
finally with one several sizes too small
the representative of the law went to his
hotel.

MIR EDlToR;--In my rambles over Third
street bridge, in the district OF No. IS
colored school, Il few days ago, l saw
many colored children running the street.
On visiting the schoUl found 27 vacant
seats In the two rooms now occupied in
the building. Thought what an oppor-
tunity there was here for missionary work
for some Of tho GROWERS aud fault finders
of the Afro American, who profess such
interest in tho Howatd School. If they
will send some of those selfinterested
young men that,profess so much interest
in the colored race and do some mission
airy work here and gather up the children
and put.tbcm into school, it will be much
more to their credit ns they will then DO
doing some good for their race. Boys
send out yourcolpurters aud gather them
