Death of Mrs. BurrilI.

Mrs. Elizabeth A. (Fuler) Burrill,
died at her home on kennebec street,
Tuesday morning, aged nearly eighty
four years. She had not been well for

a fatal result.

daughter of James and Rebecca Fuller,
April s, 1921. At the time OF her marri-
age she removed to Canaan, where they
long resided. In 1873 they removed TO
THIS place, where the family home has
since been. or her brothers and sisters,
none survive. Her husband died In
1891. or seven children, four are now
now living. Frank B. and Mrs. Clara
Moore OF this place; Fred F., of East
Madison; and Mrs. Kate Mcclellan of
Caribou, Me. The names of those de-
ceased are Charles H., Cecil j. and Mrs.
Sarah E. Moore.
She was most estimable woman.
Many, long since departed, had cause to
to appreciate her worth and many vet
survive by whom she was beloved. She
became member OF the Universal
list Church long years ago and former
pastor OF that society, Rev. f A. Hoyt,
now located in Beverly, Mass, comes to
conduct the funeral, which will occur at
the home, at IL O'Clock, tomorrow (Fri-

SPARROW GOOD SAMARITAN
How Two of Them Did a Kind Act by
Feeding a Little Robin
Wait.

The sparrow has never been noted for
its good works and Kind deeds. but Samuel
T. Fox the well-kEown real estate man,
says the Philadelphia Record. relates an
experience that throws an entirely new
light on the character Of the little scrap
per. Mr.. Fox lives in Tioga and the
other evening just about dusk he discov-
cred young robin Houudering about
his lawn. It was unable to fly and had
evidently fallen from its nest. Fearing
that the cats might CeyoUr it in the
night, Mr.. Fox TOOK the bird to the rear
OF his yard, where he had a couple of
guinea piss in an Enclosure completely
covered with a f1ely-Woven wire screen.
He carefully placed the young robin in
the pen, intending to liberate it in the
morning. While dressing the next
morning he looked out of his window
and was amazed at the actions of a
couple OF sparrows, who were carrying
worms to the young robin in the in
closure. They would fly away. only 10
return few moments later with worms
which they proceeded to drop through
the screen into the upturned mouth of
the captive. They kept this perform
ance up until the robin was liberated and
even then they continued TO hover
around like self-constituted guardians.
