The death OF Mrs. Cornelius P. Sherman,
last Thursday, July LIST, after few days
suffering with pneumonia, was shock to
the community, as many did not know OF
her illness, and her friends did not realize
| that death was so near, hoping that her
strength might battle the disease and re-
| cover. Mrs. Sherman was endowed with a
| kind and amiable disposition, deeply be-
loved by her family and respected by all.
She was the daughter Of Sylvester and
Sibyl Henry, who were early pioneers Of
Waterbury. OF family of nine children,
but one, brother, Samuel Henry survives.
The deceased had reached the advanced
age OF seventy-six years. A husband and
vive her. Her funeral was held Saturday

Despite the extreme heat OF Sunday even
ing, large audience was present at the

understand the character and motives Of

OF some eighty thousand Christian Arme-
mans was deliberately planned by the
bloodthirsty Sultan and resulted in the
crushing and dispensing OF the entire Ar
menian people. The action OF the great
powers OF Europe, in permitting such bar
barities excites the righteous indignation of
all Christians everywhere. A further &C.
count Of DR.. Hamlins experiences in con-
nection with his work there, would be Of
great interest and it is hoped he may be
able to crafty our people before he departs.
