Death of Mrs. ROwell.

Mrs. Clymena 7. (Whttier) widow of
he late B. F. Rowell, died at her home
in So. Scion, on the place where she was
born, on Jan. 26th, aged 81 years.
Although she had been an invalid for
five years yet at the last death came sud
denly and without moments warning.
But it found her ready, for very early in
life she gave her heart to the Savior, be-
coming a member of the Christian church
At Athens, and had lived pure, devoted,
conscientious Christian life and was b
member of the Christian church at Fair
field at the time of her death. She had
been a subscriber to and reader of the
Christian Herald for over 10 years.
A woman of large intelligence, a reader
and deep thinker; she retained her men,
tai faculties to the last day OF her life
and many are the rays of sunshine scat
tered by her hand that have frightened
lonely hearts and homes. Her precepts
and example will long be remembered
5y a wide circle Of friends and acquaint-
Al ees, who are the better for having
known her.
Her husband died six, cen years ago aud
she was the last relict Of his family and
he last member of her own. She left
no children but had spent the last days
Of her life with Der niece. Mrs. L. a.
Stinchtleld, who with her husbands help
gave her the tenderest care.
Funeral services were held at the
house, the 20 h, conducted by Rev. j. E
Lombard of Athens.
All the cares of life are ended
All the pain aud grief are past
All the partings now are over
Weary pilgrim, home at last.
All thy sheaves so richly laden
At the Masters feet you We cast,
Tothe glad well done" have listened
Happy angel, home at last.

THE SLED BOAT.
Ingenious Combination Devised by
the Fire Island Life savers.

The life savers attached ts Uncle
Sans stations on Fire island encoun-
tered great difficulties and dangers in
crossing the Great South by to the
Long Island shore, either by water
craft or Ice craft. Still. naturally
enough, they had a longing TO visit
family and friends when the great IS
land sea was choked with drift ice or
partly frozen over These ingenious
people long ago realized the needs of
a vehicle capable Of travelling on either
Ice or water safely, and years ago they
launched the first scooter a boat con
structed to travel on both ice and in
water 1t was small boat. made fast
to sled, which was pushed on the Ice
and rowed on the water. This crude
mode of travel. with the wind against
or across the boat made tire trip one of
tremendous Sartiou. In the course OF
time a sail was tried. AT first square
rugged and very small but II Was used
only when to- wind WIS fair. Then a
special boat was built which was par
TALLY decked and the sled was mad
lighter until at last the scooter Of the
present day came about. With nothing
left of the sled but the bottom of the
runners. shod with iron. or. better still
as experience las shown with brass.
And So has developed the wonderful
scooter of the Long Island lakes ana

On Her Second Century.

The oldest person in Vermont, and
possibly the oldest in New England is
Mrs. Honora Mccarthy of South Shafts
bury, VT, who will be ia years old in a
few days. Mrs. Mccarthy does not re-
call the day of the month on which she
WAS born, but states that it was on the
first Friday In lent of 1870. That che is
ia years OF age WAS confirmed by the
late Rev. John c. O'Dwyer of Benning-
ton, who consulted the records of her
former parish in Cork, Ireland, when he
visited there several years ago. When
Mrs. Mccarthy WAS los years old she
frequently walked from her home to
Bennington, some five miles. -Four
years ago she fell into Lake Paren at
North Bennington and narrowly escaped
being drowned, but the immersion in
water had no Ill effects upon her health,
which is still good. Mis-. Mccarthy
says she Is confident that she Is going to
live until she Is l20 years of age.
