OBITUARY.
Theodore w. Yerrinoton.

Theodore W. Yerrington, one of the most widely known men in New Lon don county, died Sunday evening about o'clock at his home in Canterbury, the end coming as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage, although for sev- eral days he had been in poor health with intestinal trouble. For years MT Warrington had ben secretary of the New London County Agricultural so- ciety, holding that position at the time of his death, and the sudden news of his death will come as a shock to the wide circle of friends he had made. He attended the meeting of the agricultur- al society officers here last Friday
 Mr. Warrington was native of Nor wich, the son of Ezra Warrington and Mary Huntington, and would have been 61 years old on the 17th of August next His whole life except for the last six years, when he had conducted his farm at Canterbury, was lived in Norwich, where he conducted Yerring toms Temple of Music a business which had been started in 1862, and to which he succeeded.
 As secretary of the agricultural so- ciety continuously for a long term, he handled the intricate and perplexing details of the annual county fair at the Fair Grounds with marked ability and satisfaction to those with whom he dealt, and his uniform courtesy of manner and obliging disposition con tributed to the success which attended the annual exhibitions. From every angle he was acquainted with the fair business, and from one end of the county to the other he was known and esteemed alike by the business men of the cities and the farmers.
 MT. Warrington is survived by his mother, who lived with him, and by two daughters, Mrs. P. T. Conneil and Mrs. J H. Lyon, both of this city. He also is survived by his wife, a brother, Charles A. Warrington of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. A. E. Baer and Miss Mary H. Warrington, both of New YYrl1.
