EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wxsmxerox, March_9th, 1878.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
rnrr WEATHER.
The second week of March has been a mar-
vel of warm sushine and May beauties. In
the parks the trees are leaved and the earlier
shrubs are in full bloom. The birds and
little children-Cod bless them—have been in
the highest state of twtiter and joy among
the sweet-scented buds and flowers. We
have had throughout a most perfect or Flori-
da or troy ical winter, but so early a Spring
has not been known by the “oldestinhab-
itant." The air to-day is as redolent of
musky buds and floral perfumes as at home
in the brightest days of May. Fears are ex-
pressed lest it should result in a loss of the
peach crop hereabouts, should a frost inter-
vene. But no serious growls have been heard
from any save the poor plumbers. They
have indeed hada "hard winter" of it. A
more than counterbalance is found in the suf-
fering the mild winter~has tempered and
lessened, especially among those here made
destitute and wtctched by the miscrly and
criminal indifference and neglect of Congress
to make the needed appropriations for the
running of the g -vernment. Such a condi-
tion of things was never known in the his
tory of this government, and how a great
political party can delude themselves that
such a course will find favor with the people,
staggers credulity. Work in the departments
is piling up, the public business delayed and
suffering, while worthy men and women,
whose services are required, are dismissed
and furloughcd because a democratic House
of Congress will make no appropriations for
their pay. Judge Phelps of Connecticut, to
his praise be it said, made a personal investi-
gation of the necessity which compelled the
discharge of one hundred and sixty employcs
from the Patent and Land offices. He there
learned that the Secretary of the Interior had
three times in succession addressed a letter
to the House notifying Congréss of the nc-
cessity of appropriating money to run the
department, and yet to this date no money
has been voted even to put a roof over the
building burned almost a year ago. Judge
Phelps notified the Speaker of the criminal
neglect, and made every effort possible to
get up the appropriation, and we hear as a
direct result of his impo‘rtuning that the Ap-
propriation Bill shall be taken up and con-
sidered next week. There is also in commit.
tees the most abject and miserly higgling
over the pay of the army, the clerks, the
letter carriers and government employees
generally, but no one has had the h'ardihood
to suggest a reduction of the ten to twelve
thousand dollars average pay of the Con-
gressman, for his three or four hours daily
toil for three and. six months service in the
two years of his Representative life. But
such is modern democracy, and from its rule
the American people may well cry out in an
agony of spirit, “From all such, Good Lord
deliver us.”
serErz.
The silver croakers are as hilarious and vo-
cal as cats on a fence over the fact the Silver
Bill is a law and everything has not gone to
“eternal smash.” One good is likely to re-
sult from the enactment. Secretary Sherman
has notified the House that $75,000 will be
required immediately to prepare a suitable
vault into which the cart-loads of spangy
new silver dollars may be dumped when they
shall begin to arrive from Philadelphia next
week. This promises labor for some thou-
sands of workmen and artisans here unem-
ployed. his true that the Government, if
it would, might start the good times so long
prayed for, by putting other laborers and me-
chanics at work upon the various public
buildings nowin course of erection in differ-
ent parts of the country. There is one of
these at Hartford, a Post Office and United
States Court House, upon which work ought
at once to be resumed in full force. There
is the new War and Navy Department build-
ing here, also, where all work is suspended
and the unfinished structure a. prey to the el-
cments. Surely the labor nor material could
ever be- so cheaply employed, and millions
upon millions of the people's money lies idle
in the treasury, and yet the House utterly
neglects to start thefrill of business life by
putting it into circulation. Oh for a single
hour of the aforetime common-sense states-
manship of :1 Clay and Webster, a Benton
and Calhoun.
HOUSE PLEASANTRIES.
There have been rather more than us‘ual
of the “social amenities” of debate, in the
House this week. McMahon of Ohio, shot a
boomerang at his colleague, Charley Foster,
on Thursday, by saying he supposed Foster
had knowledge of all persons under Govern—
ment who had obtained their positions by
“fraud.” Foster instantly retorted that he
did know of one man, the democratic chair-
man of the Military Committee, whose elec-
tion was secured,by the “fraud" of Eph Hol-
land, “the ballot-box stutter," whereat Repre-
sentative McMahon retired to repair dama-
’ gcs amid roars of laughter at his discomfi-
lure.
Judge Kelley next assayed to shy a few
sticks and cutting missiles at Gen. Garfield.
when the aroused General started out the
next day for the Judge, and proved the old
adage that hunting the tiger is most enraptur-
ing sport, until the tiger turns to hunt you,
when it becomes altogether too exhilerating
for either safety or comfort.
The coup de etat was leveled at the late
rebel P. M. General Reagan, who stands at
the head of the Texas delegation in the pres-
ent House. - The bill was under discussion
appropriating money to pay postal contrac-
tors in the South for carrying the mails pend-
ing the initiatory steps of going into seces-
sion and rebellion. Conger, of Michigan,
charged that these men surrendered the U.
S property in their hands to the Confederate
Government. This, Reagan, “on his hon-hon-
or as a gentleman,” denied. He claimed he
himself, as the Confederate P. M. Gem, had
officially ordered all this property to be ac-
counted for to the U. S. Gorernmnt. Con~
ger proved that no such Order was ever issu-
ed. This got Reagan’s head in chancery,
and he became greatly excited and still pro-
tested. His angry denials turned to conster-
nation and demoralization, when,Willits, one
of the clearest-headed members of the House,
produced from the captured Rebel archives,
orders issued by P. M. Gen. Reagan, issued
in ’62-3, in which. he had paid out to this
identical class of claimants, over $700,000 in
liquidation of their claims against the United
States, they having surrendered all the Fed-
” eral property. in their hands to the Confeder-
acy. Had a keg of dynamite exploded un-
der the Hall, Reagan and his democratic al-
lies in the House, could not have been more
demoralized. Struggle after struggle was
ma'dc to get out of the dilemma, by dropping
the subject under consideration, but their
tormenters on the Republican side prevent-
ed all escape, and next Friday it comes up
again, when we shall be enlightened with
more of the secret history of the Cent'cder-
acy.
woon’s ramps
It is hoped to complete a final revision of
the Tariff by the close of next week, but
there is little faith that it can become a law
unless materially altered and improved. It
was the subject matter of a Cabinet consider-
ation yesterday, because of its great reduc-
tion in the revenues. Senator Eaten. propo-
ses very sensibly that a commission sit dur-
ing the summer In New York and invite a1
parties interested to a full and careful
discussion and preparation of a bill just as
was done last year in the matter of the new
Postal Law Bill.
AGRICULTURE.
The Agricultural Department has purchas-
superior new seedling potatoe, of Grant
Thorburn .35 Co , of No. 7 John Street, N. Y.,
—thc firm of which cx Senator Bruggerhof,
of Dar-ion, is a member. They are for dis-
tribution to test the permanency of their
good qualities as at present conceded.
THE FIRST SILVER DOLLARS.
It is some cause of regret that Congress is
not to be paid off in the first issues of the
shining coins. They are very pretty to look
upon and the new motto “In God We Trust,"
is very suggestive that nothing short of
pardoning omnipotence will ever trust us
again, as we shove off these 90 cent dollars
and skin and shave our helpless creditors.
The Secretary proposes to use the dollars first
issued only in exchange, at par, for gold
coin, or for the purchase of silver bullion at
market price. He does not feel at liberty to
use them to pay for current expenses until
the amount coinedpis sufficient to furnish all
alike, wrthout discrimination; nor does he
deem it expedient at present to change them
for United States notes, or to use them in the
payment of interests on the public debt until
the amount coined is sufficient to enable him
to do so impartially. Therefore they will at
present be used for the purchase of silver-
bullion at market rates. The silver certifi-
cates will soon be ready for issue, and are
of the form of bank notes, engraved in the
best manner and printed on bank note fiber
paper.
rnoonnss 1x JAPAN.
The United States Minister to Japan, Mr.
Bingham, sends to the Department of State a
budget of dispatches showing the steady
progress of Japan in modern civilization.
The third annual report of the ministry of
education for 1875 shows that within an area
of 114,000 square miles, with a population of
34,000,000, there were 24,275 elementary
schools, employing 44,030 teachers and hav-
ing an attendance of 1,926,000 scholars, of
whom only one-fourth were females. The
income of the public school fund for the
year was $6,238,096, of which $1,140,000
was by voluntary contributions, and the ex-
penditures were only $4,210,473, leaving a
handsome balance. An agricultural college
was inaugurated at Tokio on the 24th of
January last, under the auspices of the
Mikado, who pronounced the opening ad-
dress. This collcgc beasts of a staff of fore-
ign teachers. of whom one, Dr. J. A. Mc-
Bride, delivered a short address in reply to
the Mikado. Another significant illustration
of the readiness of the Japanese to adopt
foreign discoveries is found in the fact that,
after a series of highly successful experi-
ments, the telephone has been introduced
into practical use under direction of the
Japanese government.
THE OLD nrsronrax.
Mr. Bancroft, the historian, who is now in
his seventy-eight year, still works with un-
tiring industry. He rises at eight, takes a
cup of coffee and a bit of black bread, and
works until ten o‘clock examining the arch-
ives of the Department of State for material
of the forthcoming volume of his history.
At ten he breakfasts, after which he returns
to his library and works till three. Then,
unless the weather be too stormy, he rides
on horseback for an hour, attended by a
groom. He lives in a spacious house on 11
street, the parlors of which are full of an-
tiques, bric-a-brac, and curious furniture. A
feature of his valuable library are the scrap-
books he has been making for many years,
now numbering hundreds of volumes, care-
fully indexcd and classified. A secretary
prepares for each volume of_his historya
dictionary of dates for the time it is to cover
and provides and verifies the references;
another writes from the historian’s dictation.
The venerable author takes especial pride
in Norwalk, and delights in awarding our
town the praise of having furnished more
men for the Revolutionary war than any
town of equal population, embraced in the
old Thirteen states.
Invnsrloxrnn.
Superintendent of Mail Service Chccny of
the New England Division, has been under-
going a rather lively investigation by the
House committee on Post Office and Post
Roads. It is the old, old story, two of his
subordinates dismissed by him for cause
have made certain scandalous charges against
him, but like most other investigations of
the kind, don’t seem to pan out much.
or. 1.1m Ixsunaxcn soaxnxn.
Capt. A. Grant who recently defeated the
Hartford Phoenix Life Insurance Company
in their suit to recover a large loan, is active
ly‘ circulating the report that he paid the
loaning committee of that company $10,000
to pass his loan and that he can prove that
$60,000 per annum was, some years, - divided
up among the same board for voting loans
of the company’s money to applicants ! This
story, which we have ourselves heard
him repeat, results of course, to the injury
of all Connecticut Life Insurance Compa-
nies. The charge, we understand was openly
made in Court and if our distinguished com-
missioner does not take cognizance of so
damagingareport, it would seem that the
Legislature now in session ought not to let it
pass uninvcstigated.
CONNECTICUT AT LAST.
Hon. Ilenry Buggies of Norwich, COIIIIL’C-
ticut, who for several years was in the con-
sular service in Spain, it is said, is to have a
first class appointment abroad. Mr. R. has
an excellent record at the State Department
and his promotion is strictly and honestly in
the line of the President's announced civil
service reform.
cnxrnxrxr. MEMORIAL.
Congress has passed a resolution appointing
one from each of the thirteen original states asa
committee to place in the State Department,
at Centennial Memorial which is a document
cntitled“Thc Administrators of the U. S.
Government at the beginning of itssecond
century.” Judge James Phelps, M. C. from
the New Haven District was the appointee
from Conn.
xxornnn \‘EssEr. FOR. PARIS.
At the request of the Commissioner General
McCormick, the Secretary of the Navy has
directed that another ve55el, the Constella-
tion, be detailed to carry goods to the Paris
Exposition. She will leave Annapolis in a
few days for New York where she will be
loaded.

BUCKLEY’S CARPET BAG
SUNG HIS LITTLE SONG TOO SOON,
AND IS NIPPED IN THE BUD BY
THE COLD BLASTS OF MARCH.
Election day opened cloudy and rainy, and
throughout the day rain alternated with partly
clear weather. In Norwalk the polls opened
at 6 a. m., and the balloting soon commenced.
It was soon manifest that the liquor dealers
and their friends were determined to make a
desperate fight for their champion. They
were out in force and personally did all
they could to get out the democratic
vote and compass his election. On
the other side the general interest
increased constantly, although there
were but few workers, and all the morning,
in the First District it was nip and tuck, first
one candidate ahead and then the other, ac-
cording to tally, but onlya few votes. The
result was only 46 against us, which was a
disapp'bintment to the opposition. Our friends
did remarkably well considering their lack of
organization and the desperate efforts of
their opponents. At South Norwalk we
have 107 majority, showing that the people
were pretty well stirred up. In the Third
District we had thirteen majority, making
74 majority in town.
The booming of that cannon did not startle
the people much last night.

Advertising liis Ignorance.
The astute lawyer who aspired to the po—
sition of Judge of Probate, filled several of
the local papers with editorial advertisements
at 20 cents per line, assuring the people that
“a vote for Woodward was a vote for Daven-
port,” &c., and in a card over his own signa-
ture said that if he was elected he should
perform the duties of the ofliee himself with-
out the assistance of any clerk. As the law
specially requires the appointment of a clerk
we fail to see any evidence of “ability” in
his pledging himself, through ignorance, not
to make any such appointment. His “smart-
ness" in this case is about equal to the “abili-
ty" displayed by him in bringing those “con-
spiracy” cases for whichhc was so unceremo-
niously snubbed by J udgc Carpenter.
Fire in Wilton.
We regret to learn that our old friend
William D. Gregory, the well known
Secretary of the Fairfield County Agricultu-
ral Society, has met with a heavy loss in the
destruction, on Tuesday morning last, by
fire, of his saw and feed mill, located near
the resdcncc of Mrs. George B. Middlebrook;
it also took his ice house and horse shed ad-
joining. In addition to the usual machinery
of a saw and grist. mill, he had several very
fine machines, such as a shingle saw, an axe
handle machine, a spoke machine, and a full
kit of carpenters tools. Everything was de-
stroyed, together with his books, a quantity
of grain, corn, ground feed, etc. The fire
was about 4 o’clock Tuesday morning, and
was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
Mr. G. had a full run of work, but is now
rendered utterly helpless. The propcrt y was
valued at $3,000; no insurance.
_.__——-———_
A NEW DODGE—One of our Merchants
last week received a. letter from New York
parties enclosing his signature cut from a
letter, and stating that they had “invested"
the money which he had sent them, and that
if this signature was genuine he was the
owner of a certificate of stock in a gold mine,
worth $500. They asked him to reply so
that they could compare the signatures, and
if found right they would send the stock.
The signature was genuine, but as the par
ties are entirely unknown to him and he has
never sent them any money to invest it is
evident that an attempt is being made to
swindle him. Probably other persons have
received similar letters.
At the Y. P. Sociable, at Music Hall, last
week Monday, a policeman made a demand
upon the young managers for a license fee of
two dollars and threatened to close the Hall
if the amount was not paid at once. The
President, justly indignant, called upon the
Mayor and paid the fee, which one of the
owners of the Hall subsequently insisted
upon paying back. Mayor Hanford also
paid in $2.00 probably out of his own pocket.
The young men did not care for the small
fee, but felt indignant that a license should
be required of them when not of others. As
the majority of members are residents of the
city, it was a strange proceeding, and a direct
blow at the popularity of the Hall.
Republican Caucus.
Pursuant to thepublished call, the Repub-
licans met at Town Hall on Saturday even
ing to nominate acandidatc for Judge of Pro.
bate. The caucus was well attended, and the
proceedings were conducted in that solemn
manner which befits the more solemn funeral
of their candidate on Monday ncxt. Mr. J.
Bclden Hurlbutt called the solemn conclave
to order, and His Honor. Dudley P. Ely was
chosen chairman, Dr. A. E. Emory, secreta-
ry, as his professional acquirements no doubt
made him the fittest to write up the funeral
sermon of the party—Democrat.
We copy the above to show the manner in
which local news is bashed up by some of
our infallible contemporaries. The Republi-
can caucus was not held on Saturday even-
ing; it was not held at the Town House;
Mr. Hurlbutt was not present, and Messrs.
Ely and Emory were not officers. The can-
cus was held on Friday evening at the Ga-
ZETTE office, and the convention on Monday
morning at the office of Messrs. Hurlbutt &
Relyea. Another paper publishes the same
mixture with the statement that the Demo-
cratic caucus was held on Monday—meaning
the convention held on Tuesday.
An unpleasant affair occurred Saturday
night in In. prominent Main street store.
Deputies Adams and Dana tried to get ahead
of each other in laying attachments, and in
the melee Sheriff Adams came in contact
with the proprietor, who was somewhat in-
jured. It is charged that Adams lost his
temper and assaulted the proprietor, striking
him hard one or more times. Mr. Adams
claims that he did not strike him, but that he
pushed him because he was in his way, pre-
venting him (Adams) from discharging his
duty. Probably the end has not been
reached.

entertainment nearly as much as those who
danced. D’Aartois supplied refreshments
during intermission. Every thing passed off
pleasantly, and it was a pecuniary as well as

The Eagle of last Saturday, contains an.
official report of the doings of the last Board
of School Visitors, held the previous Monday
evening. Strangely enough the first business
reported as having been, transacted was the
passing of a vote “That the doings of this
meeting be ot published." From this report it
seem that the action of the meeting was entire-
lyin regard to the proposed change of co a-
phies. Mr. Le Count read a letterg film
Messrs. A. S. Burns & 00., the publishers,
offering to exchange geographies as follows:
Elementary at 30 cents, and Intermediate at
60 cents. This scale of rates to hold good
for three months, after .which time the price
will be 55 cents and 1.20, respectively. Mr.
Sturges is reported as stating that he would
furnish the books at exchange prices, and in
cases where children had not the money to
pay with he would make no charge, and to
those that did pay he would give an arith-
metic. We judge from the report that Mr'
Sturges has reference to the same book,
Monteith’s, but we are at a loss to know how
he can furnish the books at better advantage
than the publishers. It was voted to
make a change in the geographies, the
change to be made gradually, and by classes.
An informal ballot stood: Monteith 3, Har-

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTIBS.
Onr city fathers held their monthly conven-
tion on Monday evening of last week, all
members being present. After the usual
routine business was transacted, reports of
committees were in order, and on the report
of the committee on lamps and gas and fire
department, much discussion followed, leav-
ing the subject about as dark as before, but
in a position to be called up and acted upon
at any future meeting. The sewer question,
which agitated the council for the last year,
was dug up and referred to its appropriate
committee who will handle it without
gloves.
On Saturday p. m., the baggage masiter of
the Darien depot was at South Norwalk—it
is presumcyn business. In some unac-
countable anner he fell or slipped from
the platform and was badly cut and bruised
by a passing locomotive. Doctors were call-
ed to dress the wounds, after which he was
sent home.
The union Sunday schools, at Springwood,
held their Sunday school concert on Sunday,
p. m., a large number being present. The
exercises consisted in singing by the school
led by Miss Davis on the organ; solo by
Miss Mary Raymt nl; ductt by Misses Wil-
cox and Raymond; recitation by the Snrles
Brothers and other scholars. An interesting
letter from the missionary, H. Densmore, of
Greenville, Mich., was read by Henry Baker
it which he congratulated the superintend-
ent and school upon the return of Miss Snow-
den to her post of duty among them, and also
in hearing from the school that the spirit of
the Lord had been with them: The recitations
of text of scripture on the subject of the day,
“Faith,” were very appropriate, marred only
by the neglect of a few classes not reciting
when called upon. The lecture on Tuesday
evening by Rev. Mr. St. John is for the ben-
efit of this Unitfii mission school.
The series of Sabbath School monthly con-
certs which have become so popular, was
continued in the Congregational church on
Sunday evening, under the direction of Jacob
M. Layton, Esq, chairman of the committee
of arrangements. The subject chosen for the
occasion was “Praise God," after the opening
services of singing, a double Quartette and
prayer by N. Dickerman the chairman pre-
sented 9 lads and losses holding banners on
which were letters spelling the sentence
“Praise God,” after which, all standing, the
Doxology was sung, 148th Psalm was recited
by 13 and 14, followed by singing “We praise
thee oh’ God" Master Russell declaimed on
the subject “All things great and small. The
08th Psalm was recited in unison by another
section of the school. Miss Pennell sang a
solo, accompanied .by her brother on the
piano. The 47th1Psalm' was recited by another
part of the school, very correctly, after
which Miss Weed read an appropriate essay.
The fourth section then recited 6 verses of
the 95th Psalm, followed by the singing of a
double Quartettc, by Mrs. Campbell, the
Misses Pennell and Miss Benedict and Messrs.
Booth, Blake, John and Thomas Pennell,
classes 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 22, and 23 recited
verses of scripture, followed by what might
be called a floral exercise in which ten lads
and losses-from the infant class participated,
each bearings bunch of flowers, Dr. Burke
Sen., E. Beard, Dr. Kendall, Shwartz,
W. H. Benedict, recited texts. Rev. Mr.
‘Dunning, as usual, talked a little about what
it is to praise God. If a person is vain and
wants to be praised, it is from vanity. Praise
means appraiser, appreciate, to put a. true
value upon. There is something in my soul
that says of the flowers, they are beautiful—
thus I appraise them. On the mountain I
stand and see the wonders of the ocean, and
spontaneously I say praises God from whom
all things, praising is appreciating what a
thing is, so one praise God for his greatness
and goodness, by praising God, who become
God like; children remember that the lesson
to night is worthy of your remembrance.
Committees for the nextficoncert, on the third
Sunday evening of April, E. Beard, D. Dis.
brow, Mrs. Russell and Miss Jennie Dawson.
’ Rev. Mr. Smith, of Zion church, occupied
the pulpit of the Methodist church, Rev. Mr-
Simonson, Sunday evening. A large con-
gregation assembled to hear Mr Simonson,
Sunday evening, as his time here is short and
many will miss his eloquent words and pleas-
ing manners.
The new arrangement made by the select-
man in regard to feeding tramps, is wise and
beneficial, but does not entirely relieve our
residents from the nuisance of beggars. All
however, who apply for aid may not be call-
ed tramps. One of our citizens was called
upon bya young man of prepossessing ap—
pearance, who asked for something to eat.
He was questioned of his past history, and
he proved satisfactorily that he was a worthy
object of charity, having come from St. Lou-
is, and was on his way to Providence, R. I.,
and having letters from his father, a me-
chanic in the Providence Paint Works. As
a contrast to this case—another family, on
Monroe street, were annoyed by a tramp who
came directly into their dining room‘without
knocking and demanded aid. The gentle-
man of the house happening to be at home
kindly gave him an injection of boot leather
which sent him off the stoop.
Hon. Winfield S. Hanford. mayor of the
city, has returned from his southern trip, ap-
parently much improved in health, and has
resumed his official duties. He is just in
time to vote for a Probate J udgc.
The South Norwalk Police Case.
In May last, the public mind was uncom-
monly excited by the charges of Burglary
made by Lorenzo Dibble J r., against John N.
Tuttlc, then Chief of Police of said city. An
examination was had before a Justice Court
here, followed by a binding over, with sus-
pension from official acts, and a subsequent
trial before a jury of the Superior Court, a
disagreement. of said jury, a continuance of
the case until the present term, with a full
hearing, taking two days, resulting in the
full acquittal of Tattle, within four minutes
from the retirement of the Jury.

Gardening seems to have been commenced
in good earnest with our people, many of
them having commenced work, and in sever.
al instances parties have already planted po-

The state election in New Hampshixo
occurs today. A governor, a railroad com-
missioner, and a legislature are to be elected.
The candidates are, republican, for governor,
Benjamin F. Prescott of Epping; for rail-
road commissioner, David E. Willard of Ox-
ford; demoeratic, for governor, Frank A.
McKean of Nashua; for railroad commis-
sioner, Hadley B. Fowler of Bristol.
Dickerman, Dutton, Disbrow, F. H. Nash,
ers of earth, having borne in meek submili
sion the heat and burden of her weary
pilgrimage, has passed through the gate into
the Celestial City in blessed mcctness for the
Heavenly inheritance,-—as all who knew her
unquestioningly believe. In blooming maiden-
hood she obeyed the heavenly calling, before
she had experience of the infirmity by which
she was afterward “tried, purified and made
white," and came to her Lord and Saviour
with the dew of her youth upon her. A
child of music and of song, she had the sen-
sibilities and graces that so Often attend this
birthright, conferring the power to enjoy
and to impart pure happiness,especially when
inspired by Divine love.
Ten years ago she left her early home and
parents beloved to come to the home of the
husband of her youth. During half of these
years she has been touched and gradually
subdued by the mysterious malady which
has finally triumphed over the frail body, but
was never able to overcome the spirit.
For most of this period she has been much
excluded from general society, only the more
to enjoy and bless the inner circle of intimate
friends, whore privilege and pleasure it has
been to minister to her relief and comfort,
receiving in their own souls the recompense
that was meet; not merely the sweet expres-
sion of her ever gushing gratitude, and the
experiences of refining sympathy, but also
the elevating influence of her life and of her
example of quiet, cheerful resignation, in
which she waited for and met her last great
change. Unable, toward the last, to use her
tongue, “the glory of the frame,” she could
still communicate with friends in the lan-
guage of signs and eyes. But, not long be-
fore the end, to a neighbor who said “Jesus
loves you," she was able to respond, brightly
and promptly, “I know it and I love Him.”
And he was with her in the Valley.
Her funeral services, conducted, in the la.
mented absence of her pastor, by Rev. S. B.
S. Bissell, were largely a ttended by sorrow-
ing kindred and friends, and.by.a community
that appreciated her modest worth ; and
sweetly rendered were: the appropriate hymns
“Safe in the arms of Jesus.”
“Sister thou wast mild and lovely.”
And sweet were the flowers that bloomed
upon her coffin, and the vernal sunbeams
that rested on her grave. B.
A CARD.
Will the kind friends of my wife, who
were so mindful of her during the last days
of her long-time illness, accept the thanks of
her husband and of her family friends, for
the many acts of kindness and generous of-
fers_of sympathy shown to us and to our
darling one. She has gone over the River;
but you have helped her to that exclamation
“Oh, I have enjoyed this day so l”——Matthew
