years ago to live with her brother, Porter
Darling, on Prospect Hill. They moved
about two years ago to Elliot street. Miss
Darling had had heart disease several
years, and it is thought her death was
fastened by it. The funeral was held at the
house at 1880 o'clock Monday, Rev. II.
r. Miles, pastor of the Congregational
church, officiating. The body was taken to
Chesterfield for burial in the family lot.

tended Leland and Gray seminary in
Townshend and was liue student. She
was member of the Congregational church
and conscientious Christian woman.
strange example of the work done by
clairvoyants has come to light in connec-
ton with the recent disappearance of Miss
Mary Ayers Some friends of hers are
certain that she is not dead, and secured a
pair OF her gloves, which they took to a
well known clairvoyant in Boston and ask
ed for information concerning the where
abouts of the owner. The people who
took the gloves had never seen the clair
voyant before, nor was she told any par
uculars of the story. She examined them,
and after putting herself in a trance, said
that the owner was alive and with "people
who were gowned in gray" This infor-
nation concided with the theory that Miss
Ayers was with the Gray sisters in Mon
treal, but it has been proved that she is
not there now nor has she been there.
The people became interested in the words |
OF the clairvoyant and decided to try her
powers again. Another pair of gloves and
a handkerchief were secured and sent to a |
Springfield man in Boston. He was not
told whose property they were, but was
merely asked to take them to a clairyoyant |
and ask the whereabouts of the owner.
He did this, telling her that they were the
property of girl whom he wished to find, |
and was told the same story as the two |
women. The clairvoyant insisted that the |
owner of the gloves was alive and that she |
had changed her name, but her friends |
would meet her on the street some time. |
