"REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE MISS WEBSTER.
A Massachusetts subscriber in writing for an
extra copy of The Journal containing the obit-
uary of Miss Pauline Webster says: "Her
death was shock to me, as had not heard of
her illness. At the time she was in Boston
taking lessons in singing, she and her sister
Caroline were in my fathers family, and there
/ learned to love them both Did you ever
hear of the joke on uncle Daniel Lane, who
mistook her high notes for the steamers whis-
tie, and started for the wharf, thinking the
boat was in at the wharf, unusually early. He
used to tell of it, as good one on himself
do not know if Pauline knew of it, but Miss
Isabel Treadwell used to have her dog sit up at
the piano with her and say "Now Tasso, sing
like Pauline and while she played the dog
would sit and howl in different tones until all
listeners would be convulsed with laughter
l think Miss Webster will be mourned by
everyone whoever knew her, she was such q
charming little woman"
