Obituary..

Ms Melissa e. Johnson, wife OF II. S
johnson OF Worcester, died very suddenly
February in her six y-titth year. Mrs.
Johnson's maiden name was Sumner. 81 Q
was native OF Corinth. and married Me-.
johnson in September, 1855 She appeared
to be in her usual health on Sunday morn
ing, but about two o'clock in the afternoon
she had shock, and died at niue on Mon
day morning, Funeral services wee held
at the house on Wednesday, Rev. p A
Carpenter officiating, assisted by Rev. Will
liam Water. Mrs. Johnson was a woman OF
rare excellence of cha acter, winning to
herself many sincere friends She is sur
vived by her husband, two brothers and
six children-three sons and three daugh-
tiers. Her husband has for several years
past been greatly fill cted, in the Tn ire
loss OF his sight, and this sudden bereave-
ment is all the greater to him on that ac-
count. His wife's devotion to him, her ten
der loving care and solicitude, we're very
beautiful. But for the support Of divine
grace, and the attention OF kind and loving
children, he could not bear up under his
weight of sorrow. Nor were her kind min-
istrations confined to her own family. But
a few years since, when lingering sickI ess
and bereavement came to the home Of the
writer, and we were in need OF help, Mrs.
johnson was one who voluntarily came
many times to help for day or part OF a
day al time, aud always in hat quiet,
pleasant, cheerful way, that made her COM
ing blessing and a comfort, and she was
never willing TO take any remuneration for
such timely aid. She had been mem Der
OF the Congregational church in Worcester
for more than thirty years, aud by her mod
est, unseltsh, kindly manner gained the
esteem and love OF many both in and out of
the church We feel that we can say, in an
important sense, "She hath done what she
could" This sffl cted family has the sin.
csre sympathy OF May friends and are
comforted in tho blessed hops that "whit is
their loss is her gain" p, III. o.

COTTON MARKETS NOT INFLU-
ENCED BY MANIPULATIVE
TACTICS.
GOOD COMMON SENSE.
GOOD COMMON SENSE.

To accept for a governing influence, idle
speculatons as to what might happen, or the
too common "if'' of interests avowedly manip-
ulative, and the only ammunition of the bears
in cotton this season, against facts and all in
formation of an authoritative character, is the
essence of folly; skepticism can not go hand in
hand with faith. Truth is what is wanted on
our side, though many show disposition car
ing not to be on the side of truth; investiga-
ton, careful study of figures at hand and
comparisons with former years and past sur
rounding conditions, lead to one conclusion
only, that nothing less than miracle can pre-
vent our staple from realizing in its price every
legitimate factor having bearing on this
market
Query as to what cotton is actually worth,
weighing carefully extraneous conditions, con-
vinces us that a cent pound above the present
level is fully justified and a much higher price
than eight and one half cents is probability
before the later months OF the current cotton
year, doubles before coming May. Too
many get over anxious for events that, though
delayed none the less surely will soon be his
tory and such history as the most ardent bull
on cotton to-day Will most pleasantly refer
to- Theories are all right in their place but
in the matter-of-fact commodity markets of
this world their claim is pre-empted; neither
do they add bale of cotton to this seasons
production or assist in rendering the position
of the foreign spinner any more en,iable.
A worlds visible under previous years and
daily growing less, Liverpool stocks the
smallest for years and daily growing less, por
stocks diminishing and exports increasing, the
daily movement of this crop, and every fact
obtainabe is exceedingly bullish and cannot
be ignored. The investor with both capital
and a cool head who shrev dly takes advant-
age of the present cotton market will be amply
rewarded for what his friends will call Long
headedness and foresight when in fact it was
only faith in facts backed by a cash invest
ment, say Knott IL Closson, Cotton Commits
sion Brokers of Burlington, Vt, in their letter
of this week, just at hand
