Mrs. John Brown was buried last week.
She had been great sufferer for long
time. Cause of death-cancer of stomach
At last the excitement over the italian
murder case has about subsidized, bat fol
about one week that affair seemed to over
shadow everything else People left their
homes and work shops to get glimpse Of
the murderer. AS he was brought through
the town last week in charge of the Cam
den authorities one could hear expressions
from all classes that he did not look like
the human butcher that he really is. One
would not take him for the brute that he
has confessed to be, as such fendish deeds
are generally supposed to belong to I'M
civilized or semi-barberous races. Yet a
close observer of human nature could see
by his small, restless and piercing eyes
that beneath them there was deception and
LreacherV. Outside OF the murderer, and
his action, probably the most talked OF
man was Joseph Flower who found the
body. On Saturday afternoon Joe said 10
locular way that be was going out in the
woods the next day and find the murdered
Italian. So the next day being Sunday,
he and his son-in-law, NJ. ]. Hendrickson,
started out, bright and early. They had
hardly arrived at the place where it was
believed the deed had been committed
before they found the body under small
pile of brush. Joe says he is going to
take the reward and buy wig, as he has
been unfortunate en- ough to lose his hair

anothers gain.

| would probably be the proper word, as
they simply refused reelection It is to
be hoped that no one will place an improper
construction upon this statement, and think
for moment that their services were not
wanted any longer, or that they were di..
satisfied in any manner whatever il is
simply like this: Miss Owneis receives a
better salary at her home school, and Miss
Souder land Miss Evans, it is reported

Miss Alace Hazelton, of MuIlica Hill
and now principal at Redwood. has been
elected to succeed Miss Owen, and Miss
Alace Bugbee, daughter of our old princi

A greet many friends of that once popu-
lar man, D. o. Watkins, feel very much
put out over his action in accepting the
position that he has just been appointed
to. Some seem TO think that. to use a
Dugilistic phrase, that he IS gutter; that
he has shown the white feather He has
surely knocked the props out from under
some of those who had been holding him
up. This may be part of politics, but il
is also ingratitude.
The glass blowers at their regular meet.
