NE " FAME.


Mrs. Nancy Sibley, whose death took
place on the 27th, was a woman of many
virtues. Born at Paris, Me-, in 1910, the
daughter of Alvan and Mary Boyden, she
lived there and at Norway until u years of
age, when the family moved to Brookline,
VT, where she afterwards became teach
er in the public schools. She married
Isaac Town Sibley of Auburn, Mass,
June s, 1884, and lived in that town until
they moved to the farm in Newfane, which
was her home for 81 years.
She had four children, the Oldest dying
in infancy. One son, who was soldier in
the civil war, died 20 years ago, and two
are now living at the home. She was a
consistent member of the Congregational
church for many years. She has lived an
honorable, an honest and useful life to a
good old age.
She had seen much adversely and many
trials, but through all she maintained a
brave, strong, hopeful, helpful spirit, and
in the winter of life her hope was in Eter-
nal spring. To her memory her children
bring the tribute of grateful hearts.

lfTom the hdTtIOTu COuThnt.
The "news" of Gen. Sherman's death
reached Washington in the afternoon, and
the correction did not arrive until about
half past 8, when many people were
housed for the evening. 1t is interesting
to learn that at a spiritualistic meeting in
a private house there that evening the
"spirit' of John Sherman signifed its
presence, and, on being welcomed, pro-
ceeded to deliver message on slate and
the hand writing was easily recognized as
Sherman's. He announced a change of
views as to the money question, but had
not grown any warmer in his devotion to
the leading elements in Ohio politics. The
medium, who so promptly caught so large
a ghost on his first stroll out alone, was
naturally congratulated at first The news
came later that the ghost was still en-
bodied.
