A. o. Cummins of this city re-
ceived telegram from L. S. Merriam
of Auburn, Mass. Monday night, an
nouncing the death of Clarissa Cum
Minis Merriam, widow of Ebenezer
Merriam and daughter of John and
Betsey eddy Cummins
She was born in Montpelier March
II, 1905, being ninety seven years. ten
months and two days old at the time
of her death. She married Ebenezer
Merraim of Oxford, Mass, February
a. 1881. and they settled in Montpe-
lier on the farm now occupied by
Oscar Jones in the Mutt school dis
trict, so called, it being one-half of
the original farm of her father, where
she was born.
They had two children, both born
in Montpelier; Leander S. Merriam,
a produce dealer in Auburn, Mass.
and Lucy p, who married Marcus
B. Hunt of Worcester, Mass, also
dealer in farm producce.
Mrs. Merriam has spent her widow
hood with this daughter and has re-
ceived the kindest care and attention
during her declining years. which
have been one slow wearing out of her
strong constitution.
In 1851 Mr.. and Mrs. Merriam sold
their farm and removed to Auburn,
Mass, where Mr.. Merriam died Feb
ruary IL, 1891.
Her father was one of five brothers
who came from Auburn, Mass. where
they were born, to Montpelier, when
this whole country was vast wilder
ness, being guided by marked trees
the last forty or fifty miles. At that
time there was but one house in Mont
peler, that being the Davis house"
situated where the old Jail now
stands.
All of the five brothers bought land
and cleared off the forest. making
themselves farms near this city and
reared quite large families. all the
members of which are dead. except
two, Mrs. Lorinda (Cummins) Bowen,
daughter of Elisha and Rachael Eddy
Cummins, the eldest of the brothers.
Mrs. Bowen was ninety three years
old the 18th of the present month
and lives with her niece, Mrs. Henry
S. Town ON Town Hill road. =" The
other living child of the original
brothers is Harvey Cummins, son of
Simon Cummins, one Of the younger
brothers, who will be eighty three
years old on February %, this year.
He resides on the Horn of the Moon"
road, so called.

WIRSHIP DEFEITED.

Caracas, Jan, 20.-Dr. Torres Car
denas, secretary to President Castro
has received cable from Gen. Bello,
commander of the fortress of San Car
los at Maracaibo, saying that the for
tress was attacked at noon Saturday
by the German gunboat Panther.
The Venezuelan garrison of the for
tress opened lively fire on the Ger.
man warship and damaged her to such
an extent that she was.compelled to
so to Curacao for repairs. 1t is thought
here that the Panther probably in
tended to seize the Venezuelan gun
boat Miranda, which had taken refuge
in Lake Maracaibo.
When the news became public in
Caracas there was great excitement,
Bands of music paraded the streets
celebrating the defeat of the German
warship. Everybody here is puzzled
over the actions of the Germans.

fidence.
Paine's Celery Compound stands I'M

of rheumatism At this season its
good work is apparent in thousands of
American homes. Men and women,
lame and crippled, and utterly help
less from the terrible disease are be-
ing restored to activity, health and
strength. Paine's Celery Compound
is the only medicine that rescues and
saves the despairing victim who is told
that he or she is incuIable. Mr.. l..
A. Freshman, Gap Mills, West Va,
writes about his happy experience
with Paine's Celery Compound; he
says

and shoulder, could not sleep, and had
no appetite. / visited my sister who
lives in FIankford, and she told me
she had been afflicted just as l was
and Paine's Celery Compound had
done her more good than anything she
had ever tried, and she advised me to
use it, got one bottle and used it,
and the result was / slept we'll, and
had good appetite, and the pains of
rheumatism left me andII have not felt
them since; in fact, it has cured me
and feel like new man"
