WILLIAM H. CUFFS.

Died at Monroe, October l, William H
 Cutts, of Long Lake, N Y, aged 65 years. When the word came over the wire to relatives of MT Cutts it caused
 shock which will not soon be forgot ten. MT Cutts has resided the past 2C
 years in the Adirondack Mountains, fol
 about eight months of the year, the re.
 maining four in Connecticut as general thing. This fail he with his wife came
 more than a month earlier than usual | in order to meet his only sister, Mrs H l L. Slie, of Derby, who was about to re-
 turn to Los Angeles. Cal. Alter her | departure they visited relatives and | friends in Seymour for few days, then came to Southbury to visit his niece
 Mrs c. N. Curtiss, leaving there Monday
 September 27, returning to Monroe on Friday follow ing. MT and Mrs Cutts
 made a call on some friends in the neighhorhood, spending a pleasant even ing, he seemingly in his usual health,
 and laughed and chatted as they walked home and into the house. While his wife laid aside her wraps he passed into the dining room, seated himself by a able and taking up paper to read, fel! from his chair dead. Thus in the midst
 of life death claims us fer it's prey. MT Cutts was veteran of the Civil War.
 He, ,slike many another boy, had a strong desire to become soldier, but his age stood in the way. His parents had al ready given their parting blessing to their two older sons who had gone V ith the 10th Connecticut regiment to the seat of war, and could not consent to give up William. The time came when his age was no longer a barrier, and a neighbours worthy son was about to en- list William still clung to the wish to become a soldier, and his parents at last consented. feeling that the other lad being older. would wield and int1u- ence over their boy not born of army life. So they became part of tile 2Oth Connecticut Volunteers and saw much active service and served until the close of the war. Of the three sons who went out but two returned. the eldest laying down his life in the sunny South. away from kindred and loved ones. MT Cutts leaves beside his widow one daughter, Mrs Henry Stellar of Huntington, one sister in California and two brothers, Henry Lee and Wilbur Fisk Cutls who reside in Dubuque la, and Unity, Wis, The Methodist church at Long Lake, where he was an honored member, and an active and efficient CO., worker for the cause of Christ and humanity, will also mourn their loss. The funeral was at terdeG from the home of his father in. law Dea Wells Lewis, Rev MT Marshall of the Congregational church officiating The beautllful hymn Tt IS well with my Soul" was very sweetly rendered by a quartet of singers. The flowers were beautiful and the sleeper looked peace full amid the fragrance of roses, carna- tions, etc. Much sympathy is felt for her whose heart is bleeding, but she sOr- rows not as others who have no hope.
 Asleep in Jesrs! Blessed sleep,
 From which none ever wake to weep;
 A calm and undisturbed repose
 Unbroken by the last of foes.
 Asleep in Jesus! Soon to rise,
 When the last trump shall rend the skies Shall burst the letters of the tomb
 And wake in full immortal bloom"
