health had steadily declined since the
death of her husband eight years ago,
At this time she gave of her strength
in caring for him, and had never re-
gained complete health, and she had suf-
| fered several slight shocks, all OF which
had caused a steady decline. Mrs. Mann,
who was Sarah Amanda Robinson Of
Reading, married William Mann, who
had always lived in town, in 1855, and
| since that time had lived here in the
house from which she was buried on
| Sunday One son was born to Mr.. and

wants of the mother. Four grandchsl-

The people in town regret to announce
that Rev. NJ s. 0'Donnell has been trans
ferred from the Catholic church here to
the church at Poultney. During Father
Donnel's stay here he has won for him
self many friends outside the church,
and in his own immediate church has
been very successful. His new appoint
ment is thought TO be promotion, as
he goes to parish with 800 com
municants in his church. and an as
sistant is also furnished. His appoint
ment was received the first of the week
and too late for him to announce it to
his church. Rev. A. j. Lever of st.

church there, and who was sent over
seas as army chaplain, is his successor,
and came to fll the vacancy the last of
the week. The best wishes of the people
