 MRS MARY WILAMINE FRENCH.
 Still another knell of times great eternal bell, that rings out peal after peal of unwelcome sound to every ear of the living, as it resounds OCT hill and dale, waiting to every kin dred heart @ pang of sorrow that knows no solace. A voice in the full filment of that sacred warning that it is appointed unto man once to die," and this has come to our life- long friend, Mrs Mary Wilamine French, one with whom we have mingled in life's associations, a long period of years of social relations, where we ever found her to he a lady of genial disposition, kindly ofheart, of high character and moral worth. who always met you with a pleasant smile and kindly greeting,--a good neighbor, wife and mother, who loved her home and children eand seemed to live only for their welfare and wellbeing. And well might those children say I've have lost our best friend A good mother in the house, a good mother put of doors, good mother wherever one was in need. Mrs French was one of those honest, Whole-souled, friendly w)m- en whom to know was to respect and admire, ever ready with a willing heart and helping hard to those ir need and affliction. Her home was one of cheer and welcome ard she was one who chose to bear the little burdens of life herself \rather than shift them to others. A friendly friend in good old-time friendship, which tells it's own story, not toat of the modern day, that knows you only for what you have, and were we to write book what could wesay more. She was a member of long standing of the Episcopal church of Hunting ton, later of Shelton), to which she was devotedly attached. Mrs French was the daughter of MT and Ms Eli Hubbell of White Hills and widow of Benjamin French, who died some four years ago, She lived at her old home where she was born and will be sadly missed by her family and a large circle of friends. She was 68 years of age and had many years of usefulness to herself and friends yet before 4er, but for the hand of the reaper who knows no distinction. i She was called from life of useful ness to dwell with loved ones in that realm of which we know so little. She leaves to mourn her loss a son, William, with whom she lived, two daughters, Miss Carrie, and Alice, wife of E. c. Shelton of Monroe, to whom our sympathies extend, as we, too, know too we'll life's bitterness. The nome was filled to overfowing was but a repetition of the story al- ready told and her Casket was buried beneath a great ". bank of floral tributes, which in their sweet, mute eloquence sang the anthem of love to the one who has gone. Robert Sinclair sang two fine solos in his usual tender, nIasterly style. She died February II and was buried Sunday, February fl. The funeral directions were by Cyrus F. Lewis of Derby. The services were in charge of Rev MT Clarke of the Episcopal church of Shelton. The pallbearers were Warren c. Hubbell, Oscar Hub bell, Daniel Shelton and Clark Beardslee. Thus "One by one we come, ore by one we go."-[D. c. ".
