CARD OF THANKS,

Immediately following our severe afiliction
the entire destruction of our old home and
its contents in March last-our friends
gathered around us anc showed their real
sympathy by many gifts OF almost every
thing we so much for the time needed. These
have continued in such numbers that II seems
proper and just that we make more public
acknowledgment of the same. While we
have received good things from many, some
seem TO deserve special mention Among
them, aside from personal bestowals, We
would mention substantial gifts of bed
clothes, ETC., from the NJ. e. Ladies' AID
society. Also fine sewing machine from the
ladies OF the Congregational church. While
we were not entire dependents, yet in the
hour of our severe need these all came as
blessings on us. We hope ever to remember
the givers with hearts full of thanksgiving
and invoke the blessing of Him who has. we
trust ordered even this for our good upon
them. Mr.. AND MRS. NJ. y. BAKER.

OBITUARY.,
ISABELLA GRAHAM BERCHARD.

ISABELLA GRAHAM BERCIIARD.
From the home OF Z. II. Farnum in Sudbury
passed away sunday night, May 20, Isabella
Graham Berchard, at the ripe age of 10 years.
she was an excellent lady of the old school,
both OF manners and religion, one of the rare
old Puritans remaining to these lighter days.
OF an earnest and serious type, her worth
lald strong hold upon those who knew her.
Her last nearest of kin to pass away was an
own aunt on her mothers side, Mrs. a. II.
Nottingham, who went 10 her rest in 1897,
whose children, again, Mrs. Horton Jones,
Albert and Lyman and Miss Nellies Totting'
ham, are nearest remaining relations. But
though she so far outlived her kin of an even
age, her going is deeply felt, not only by
those bound to her by ties of kinship, but
also by others now grown to be grey fathers
and mothers, who recall some kindness al
her hand rendered in their youth that helped
them to achieve. From world fast growing
unfamiliar, she has gone to her own who are
many, and her greeting will be bright and
joyous one.

HEIRS SUE FOR RENTALS
ADMINISTER ALTON OF CHRISTIE ES-
TATE BY PETER r. BRYCE.
The VIII of Charlotte Mcfarland Pro-
bated-Other Cases i'm the
Local Courts.

The case of the heirs of Albert Christie
against Peter r. Bryce. TO recover $l1,O0
on a bond Bryce gave in his administrator
of the Christie estate, began yesterday
in the Circuit Court. The case will likely
last several days. Christie was a saloon
keeper, and was killed by another saloon
keeper in 1871. Bryce was appointed guard
ian of the children in 1874 and served un-
til 1879, when Mrs. Christie was appointed
guardian with Bryce as bondsman. Mrs.
Christie removed with her family to Mont
real, Canada, and later to Detroit. Bryce
acted as her agent here and assumed con-
troll of the property. He lived in one OF the
properties and the others were sold. When
the guardianship was finally closed a report
by Bryce showed that there had been a
deficit in the rents over the expenses of
keeping up the property amounting to $6O6,
and the sale none went TO make up this
deficit.
The final settlement was made about one
year ago, and ii was then that the heirs
charged they had never received any of
the money from the rentals or sales of
the property. The suit followed, in which
their mother was made defendant with
Bryce, but the mother also denies that she
received money from Bryce. Bryce says
that he sent her all of the money collected,
and that she acknowledged all of the pay
mentS.
