The fungral of Mr. Thomas Fenton, a
plumber, who died Wednesday in the 32d
year of his age, took place Friday. The cer-
of Temple Lodge, No. 65, deceased having
been many years a mason. The remains
were taken to the Lodge, in the Bank build-
ing. Where prayers were said, and from
thence 'to Memorial church, where the usual
burial service was conducted by Rev. Mr.
Lewis, after which, to Willow Brook ceme-
tery for burial. During a long and painful
illness, deceased, who was in absolute want,
received at the hands of charitable ladies and
gentlemen of the village, substantial atten-
tions worthy of a Christian community.
Aunt Taylor, as she is called, who dwells
in a retired spot near the village center, is
now in her 97th year, if authority can be
relied on. Of late she has become imbued
with the idea that it is necessary for her to
hog, and she goes about the streets asking
aims of any she meets. Some days she
stumbles upon the same person two or three
times, and without seeming to know the
difference, asks for a small contribution.
Often she meets with rcbufi, but as a rule
shoals well treated, those who bestow the
pennies kindly witthlding any harsh com-
ments, by reason of the great age of the
beneficiary. Aunt Taylor has plenty of well
to do‘dcscendants in Westport and else—

they should be ashamed, if they have any
shame left. to allow this lady to inflict the
public, as well as herself, in the way she is
doing.

Have a. Care for the Children.
Providence Journal.
The public schools of the state have begun
or are about to renew their sessions. The
long vacatiOn has been, either at home or
abroad, a season Of rest, recuperation and
pleasure. The weather is still unusually
bot; a crowded schoolroom is at all times,
in its atmosphere, depressing, to say nothing
of the exertion of study. The mature per-
efiectively, into work after a respite as to
perform ordinary labor under the usual con-
ditions. It is not the dullest among the
scholars who will, metaphorically speaking,
“kick” against the confinement, the heat,
the lessons, of the first weeks of the fall
term. The boy and the girl that has most
enjoyed the seashore, the mountain, or the
home garden and ocgasional excursion; that
has employed eyes, ears, bands and tongue
in learning and interrogating as to “object
lessons,” will, perhaps and probably, be the
least’inclined to enter upon the compara-
tively‘listless duties of the book and school-
room.
The very flush of health and cxub erance
of spirits, which are of such vital impor—
tance, and which so much has been, in many
cases, sacrificed to secure, tend ,to remon-
strance against perfunctory quietudc of
body and silence of speech, with the sun
shining brightly and the thermometerindi-
eating something more than summer heat.
Of course the children must conform to the
necessities of the case: They must go to
school. They must learn that a relinquish-_
ment of a part of their natural liberty iS‘
essential to their own welfare, as it is neces-
sary, and still more to be a tribute to the
general good. And yet, neither the wise
teacher nor the intelligent parcntis forced
to the hardest method of insuring law and
order. Some elasticity of rule, some ac-
knowledgement of natural law, some judi.
cious lufllng and bearing away from the head
winds of indisposition, not to say indolcnce
of mind, will be found as profitable as com-
plaisanl.
It would be a veryiinteresting, though not
a very popular subject of inquiry, were one
to institute a census of the parents who are
controlled in their efforts for the education
of their children by a deliberate and intelli-
gent purpcsc to secure the highest welfare
of the child, rather than by pride or a cir-
cumscribed theory of what is best even from
a material point. of view. Doubtlcss it is a
gratification to have one’s offspring at or
near the head of the class, but of how many
classes, and what classes, and at what sacri-
fice of health. Again, there are children
who learn, and learn that which is to be
useful, outside of books. Not that books
should be neglected, but that the peculiar
idiosyncracy. of the child should be studied.
For the moment, however, we ontent our—
selves with suggesting that children have
rights, and that their instincts are not al-
ways pcrvcrse. The 'superfloity of our school
theories notwithsta nding, let the young and
helpless have a decent chance for comfort,
health and even enjoyment.
“The Domestic Tyrant.”
- "The atrerage man," quoth Mrs. Partington,

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 18, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :
Since the President’s removal from thi
city the interést “manifested in his condition
.by the residents here has been greatly inten-
sified, and the bulletins and daily papers are
eagerly scanned by anxious eyes to see the
condition of the patient. Crowds surround
the bulletins, which are pasted on lamp
posts, store windows, or any place where
they can be conspicuous. One has but to
watch the faces of the people to ascertain
whether the report is favorable or unfavora—
ble. Such pure sympathy and loyal love as
has been manifested all over this broad coun.
try since the eventful July 2d, Speaks well
for the patriotism Of its people. This calam-
ily which has befallcn our nation has aroused
in the hearts of our people that love and
veneration for its Republican principles and
institutions, which has for so long a time lain
dormant.
The reports from Elberon are anything but
encouraging, and as day after day passes the
small spark of hope that illumincd the hearts
of our people grows gradually smaller and
smaller. No constitution, however great or
strong, can long stand the strain which that
of our President is undergoing. And unless
some speedy relief is soon obtained we shall
ficalled to mourn for him we hold so dear.
ronic pyaemia has been admitted by his
physicians, and to a frame so cnfecblcd as
our President’s now is,is likely to prove fatal.
We can only hope for the best and with the
poet sayz— ' -
And, looking up in that bright sky,
Where shines Thy imperishable Sun,
We clasp our hands and humbly cry,
Thy will, oh God, be done!
ANOTHER nor IN THE NATIONAL TRAGEDY.
On Sunday last the community was
startled by the report that Guiteau the as-
sassin had been shot at by one of the soldiers
doing guard duty at the jail. The rumor at
first discredited proved true. One of the
soldiers Thomas Mason, Ist Sergeant, Co. B.
2nd U. S. Artillery, bad crept under the
walls of the jail and taking deliberate aim
fired through the window of Guiteau’s cell.
The: bullet missed its markby only a few
inches and imbcddcd itselfdn the wall of the
cell. Mason was of. once put under arrest
and carried to the Arsinal. Upon being in-
terviewed there he made the following state-
ment:
“I have been veryjmuch worried in regard
to going out to the jail every day. It was
rough on officers and soldiersto be attending
guards. I got tired of it. This evening we
went out in the rain. 'Wben we got to 'the
jail I got out of the wagon and went around
the corner. I loaded my gun with a forty-
five calibre, and blazed two into the jail
window, and I hope to 0d I hit him.
When I shot I meant to kill him, and I am
sorry if I didn't do so. I had it on my mind
for the last week. He had shot a good man
the President of this great Nation, and I
thought it was my duty to kill him. It
wasn’t worth while for officers and soldiers
to go to guard him—this man—thing, or
whatever he is. I would rather have killed
Guiteau than to have $10,000. If it had been
a clear day Iwould have killed him.. Tb“
is all I have to say: Good night." .
And the sergeant withdrew to his cell.
The above statement was made in a firm
voice, without the least indication of bragg.
adocio in fact, his manner was that of ablunt
honest, frank man. He is a good, honest,
straightforward mas, praised by all his ofii~
cers and comrades as a first-rate soldier, and
as remarked by General Ayres, ‘H0 is a sure
shot, and if he had gotten his piece on Gui-
teau he woald have killed him."
‘The act itself is to be deplored, for al-
though tbe prisoner Guiteau is the greatest
villian§unhung still the attempt to assassinate
him and too by one whose duty it was to
protect him can not but reflect dishonor up-
on our army and create more or less sym-
pathy for the intended victim. Charges and
specifications have been forwarded to Gen.
Hancock who will at once issue orders for a
court martial to try llfason, but it is doubtful
if in the present state of feeling his punish-
ment will be very severe.
DEATH OF GENERAL nonnsmn.
The announcement Of the death of General
Burnside will cause a sensation of sadness
and deep regret throughout the nation. All
who knew him, either in military or civil
life, will bear testimony to his courage, his
whole~souled patriotism, his noble generos-
ity, his guilclcss and trustful nature, his
modesty and his integrity. The Senators
sincerity and frankness, and all to whom he
ever had an opportunity to do a kindness,
will remember with gratitude the pleasure it
gave ;bim to respond. He was neither a
great general nor a great statesman, but he
was all that he pretended to be and more.
He was a noble, h rty and courtly gentle—
man. He served the .country well, and by
his countrymen he will ever be held in mem-
ory with honor and affection.

ing an fisy arrive the shingles from two mills
to Mt: The T. H. Mchw a. Co. and! E.
’J. Hill brands. Of each of these I have sold
«darling the past few years several millions,
am thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as ‘unexcelled by any
shingle In the state of Michigan. The lum—
ber is soft, free from shake, the shingles are
honestly male, and I will warrant them to
cover-.146 feet to the thousand when laid 5
1-2 inches to the weather. I have not known
a case where they have not exceeded this.
', I have also arranged for a full’line of clear
dry 1 and, 1 1-4 inch Spruce, 14 feet long, as
well as the ordinary length of 13 feet. In
all grades of lumber used in storing and cur;
ing Onions I aim to keep fully supplied. Am
prepared to make special figures for car load
lots of lumber for tobacco cases, either cut up
or simply surfaced two sides. In Spruce
timber, I keep a full assortment of all usual
sizes, from 2:3 to 8x8 and 6x10 up to about
40 feet in length.
fact that a person can sometimes go into the
wholesale market and buy dry lumber, but
as a general rule the way to get it is to buy it,
take good care of it, and season it. However
unpleasant it may be to carry a years gtock,
it is the only way I can find to give my cus-
tomers what they want. It is what I have
done for three years, and what I shall con—
tinue to do so long as my trade will justify it;
In all grades of finishing lumber I offer
stockof Pine, Spruce, HemIock, Ash, Black
Pine, from one to thrée years old.
I will deliver lumbor promptly anywhere
team or vessel, and my facilities for so doing
are as perfect as I desire. Nine-tenths of my
lumber I buy from the man who cuts down
the tree. I get as near the producer as it is
pgsiblo to get, and deliver the production to
my customers as low as is consistent with a
fair, resealable profit to myself, to which I
am entitled. In this way I am enabled to
offer to the public every advantage of the
wholosnlofinorkot as well as to reap some
Obcnofit founyself , which I am fre’e to say is
the prlma’yr object.
Inquiries in person or by correspondence
will be promptly attended to. Soliciting a
continuance of the patronage so liberally ex—
t;nded heretofore, I am respectfully yours,
