After his death she went to live with mar ried daughter in Newark, N. J. She often expressed wish to be buried near her husband and at times has seemed to be little ins ane. Last Thursday evening she came to this place with the evident purpose of visit vile, where she occasionally has done so, but on arriving in town expressed a desire to leave the stage and take a walk. On Friday she was found lying across her husband $ grave in the ceme- tery. On investigation it was found that she had taken two bottles of lau- danum and had $50 in money.

She has another daughter in England. MT Sheffield, rector of St. Paul's church in Woodbury officiated. The pallbearerS were Hubbard A. Hotchkiss, George R. Allen, Olin Ros- we'll duu J JOScpu D.
