clerk-carrier examination, to be held here
on August 25, at l o'clock. The exami-
nation is q practical test of a PERSONS
fitness for postofice work. which no one
with fair, common school education
need experience any difficulty in passing

RECENT DEATHS.


In Cleveland, Ohio, at the home OF her
son.in-aw, DR.. H. J. Lee, occurred on
August 5th the death of Mrs. Arthusa
Hubbard Aver. She spent her childhood
in St. Johnsbury East. After her mar
rage to D. c. Aver her home was in Bos'
ton, but she retained great affection tor
St. Iohnsbury and returned to it very
frequently. She was a woman of sweet
and serene disposition and greatly be-
loved. Her home was most hospltable
one, where every guest was warmly
welcomed. The illness, which could only
terminate in death, was OF long duration,
but was borne without complaint and
alleviated by the kindest and most ten.
der care. Very rare and most beautiful
flowers were heaped about her resting
place. Oh her family there remain Mrs.
Ellen Aver Goodall OF Brattleboro, Dr..
Silas Aver of Boston, Professor Charles
Aver of Boulder, Colorado, and Mrs.
Mary Aver Lee OF Cleveland, Ohio. The
world is the better for her having lived
in it and many are they who "arise up
and call her blessed" On her S0th birth.
dav. Aug. IS, 1904, friend who has
filled I'D three score years and ten, wrote
for Mrs. Aver poem. Among the many
readers OF the CALIFORNIAN there are
still left those who will feel an interest in
the kindly greeting.

The Hospital Subscription.

Rev. c. R. B. Dodge is pushing the
work OF gaining subscriptions for the
new hospital buiding'as fast as possible.
He reports the outlook as very favor
able, judging from the subscriptions that
have already been pledged, and the
number who have declared their purpose
to assist in the enterprise. OF course the
goal cannot yet be said to be in sight by
any means, land there will be full oppor-
tunity for everyone to show their inter
est to the fullest extent, but it is believed
that now the ball is so we'll rolling. it
will surely not stop until the building so
much desired has been gained. 1t is
hoped that all will be as prompt as
possible in subscribing, as Nj. Dodge's
time is limited to devote to the work
1t those having cards would sign them
and send them in by mail it would b,
much appreciated.
