A large audience, composed OF all the

ernoon and heard a lecture on birds, given I
bv A. j. Eaton Of South Royalton. Before 4
the lecture. a number Of recitations were /
given by the pupils OF the different /
schools Mr.. Eaton kept the attention Of
the audience for more than an hour and 1
all expressed theiT appreciation and re- /
ceived much benefit from what was spok- I
en-. Many OF the Scholars showed that |
they were familiar with a number OF our |

IL came with a sudden surprise to many /
people i'm Brookfield when it became |
known last Sunday morning that Mrs. /
John Dewey had passed away. II seems
that Ia the night about II 80 she COM
planned that she could not get her breath,
and help was summoned from her neigh
bors. Mr.. and Mrs. Ditty. They came al .
once and summoned the doctor, who ar A
rived five minutes before the end came. \
She had been troubled with weak heart 4
and with congestion and passed away /
quickly. Mrs. Dewey was an old resident /
OF Brookfield, having been born in town 1
on the place owned by Mr.. Ford. She was 1
. Of i3 children, OF whom seven are alive 4
~ The present time. She was a strong re-
ous woman and did what her strength I
aid means permitted in the work OF the 4
kingdom. She was a member OF the Sec
ond Congl church, to which more than 4
fifty years ago she united when the church .
was organized. She left a husband, son <
and daughter in-law 10 mourn her de- /
parture. besides brothers and sisters. The \
funeral was held at her late home last 4
Tuesday. and many gathered to pay 4
the last respects to her memory. \
Rev. r. II. Abercrombie, her 4
pastor, officiated and spoke comforting 4
words to those who mourned, and appro- I
pirate music was rendered by Judge Bige- I
low. Interment took place at Williams
town village, where son had been buried.
