The fact was brought out in the
vital statistics of Connecticut for last
year, that the native population is
fast being overwhelmed by the ele-
rent of immediate foreign extrac-
ton, will surprise no one. 1t appears
that in all sections of the State the
deaths among the native population
exceed the births from native parent
age, while the burden of providing a
natural increase in the population
rests wholly upon people of foreign
birth. This is true of the country
as well as the urban districts.

Periophthalmus is the name of q
strange fish that has been discovered
recently in Florida waters. 1t is SO
called because its big round eyes,
which 'pop" remarkably, can be
turned in every direction, enabling
the creature to look behind it and all
other ways at once. More Familiarity
it is known as the goby, but hitherto
it has not been found in the Western
Hemisphere. When the fish gets tired
of hunting he burrows into the mud

ANOTHER SAD DEATH.

News reached this city, on Mon
day night, that Mrs. Annie r.
Macklin, wife of Mr.. A. w.
Macklin, of this county, had died
that evening at st. Joseph's In
Urinary, in Louisville.
Mrs. Macklin was the youngest
daughter of the late Hon. Hillery
M. Bedford, of the Forks of Elk
horn. In young girlhood she was
happily married to Mr.. Alexan-
der w. Macklin, and two children
we're given to them (Mr. Bedford
Macklin, of this county, and Mrs.
f. L. Koop, of Louisville.
When a mere child she was con-
verified under the ministry of Rev.
DR.. Cadwallader Lewis, and united
with the Providence Baptist
Church. She and her husband
have always been co-workers in all
that made for the interests of the
Masters cause.
For long time her health had
been poor, and it was finally de-
cided that she should go to the
infirmary in Louisville for treat
mnet. Although every thing that
science could suggest or means
could furnish was done to restore
her, all failed, and, for several
weeks, her husband and family
have been looking for the end.
The remains were brought back
here for interment, the funeral
services being conducted at the
Cemetery Chapel, on Wednesday
morning, at II o'clock, by he1
pOstor, Rev. E. F. Wright, OF
Woodlake, and the loved form
was laid to rest with her kindred
dust in our cemetery.
We have known Mrs. Macklin
all her life, and admired her foI
her unselfish and beautiful life.
The Providence Church has sus-
tanned a heavy loss, her family an
irreparable one, and the whole
community mourns good
woman with all that the name
implies, gone to her reward.
To our grief-stricken friend, he1
husband, and to all the bereft, we
tender our warmest sympathy.

HONoRED CITIZEN DEAD.

On Sunday night about -
O'Clock, Mr.. Benjamin f. Meek,
ST., died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Richard Church, Shelby
street, aged IS.
Mr.. Meek was one of the few
old time citizens of this city, and
was highly regarded by everybody
who knew him, as an honest, up
right gentlemen.
By occupation he was a watch
maker and silversmith of the old
style, and for many years he and
Capt. B. G. Milan we're partners
in business, occupying the stand
now occupied by Mr.. A. G. Gra-
hams tailoring establishment.
His work was always we'll and
faithfully executed, and many
watches are still in use in this
and adjoining communities which
were the product of his hands.
In late years he had entered
largely into the manufacture of
his celebrated fishing reel. In
the prosecution of this work he
removed to Louisville and re-
manned there until about two
years ago, when the infirmities of
age compelled him to stop work,
and he returned here with his
aged and beloved wife to spend
the remainder of their lives in
their old home.
Gradually his physical health
gave way, until some month
ago, he was confined to his room
and bed. Loving friends minis
tered to his every want and ten
derby anticipated his every desire.
He leaves an aged wife and two
daughters Mrs. J. F. Tillett and
Mrs. Richard Church), and four
SONS (Ben. F., jr., Jas. F., Cloudas
and Sylvester Meek, and a large
circle of friends and relatives to
mourn his departure.
The funeral services took place
on Wednesday morning, services
being conducted by Rev. Dr.. Blay-
ney. after which the remains were
placed in the family lot in our
cemetery.
