It' 13 our sad duty to chronicle the death
of so esteemed a citizen as the late Gould
Benedict, who departed from this life on
Tuesday last. 1111. Benedict had long
beenasufferer, but up to the final mo.
ment his friends had hoped for his recov-
ery, but it was not to be so. He was a.
man whose sterling worth and upright
manhood impressed ifseif upon all with;
whom he came, in contact. Quiet and
unassuming in manner he won his way
into the 1111111111111 the community and
none there were who could speak aught
against 111111.111» thirty-four years he
wasa trusted employee of the Consolidated
road, and to any that that confidence was
not misplaced would be unnecessary.
Though very popular with our citizens
Mr. Benedict neither sought nor would-
he accept political honors though repeat-
edly urged by his friends to do so. His
whole life was devoted to his family and
his employers. He was a member of the
Congregational church of this city. The
funeral was held from his late residence
on West Washington street on Saturday
last at 2 o’clock p. in. His loss will be
deplored by the entire community and
the afflicted family have the deep and
heartfelt sympathy ofI )lIio city in their
bérclvcfnent.

over $50 and nearly all of this vas clear
gain.

Mr. Henry Burr, one of the. employees
at Jolm D. Wood’s satchel factory had
his hand badly out last Monday. He was
engaged in cutting some part of the satch-
el and was arranging the mate rial when a
fellow workman in passing hit the knife
causing it to fall upon Mr. Burr's hand.
The wound was dressed by Dr. Day and
is doing well.
The musical recital on Friday evening
by the pupils of Mrs. F. M. Raymond at
Mrs. Raymond’s residence was largely
attended, and proved a very enjoyable
affair; The selections were wcll rendered
reflecting much credit on both teacher and
pupils. Mrs. Raymond is a very success-
ful teacher and has a large and constantly
increasing class, and her recitals are
among the events of the season.
One day last week considerable excite.
ment was caused among the workmen at
Filley’s foundry similar to that of a bear
on finding a bee tree, over the discovery,
by one of the workmen, of a very large
quantity of candy in the corner of the
field below the' foundry. It was a fine.
quality but the heat-of 11.11: min had re-
duced it to a sticky mass. There was ap-
parently over two bushels. How it. came
tllerc is a. mystery.
Monday morning Nettie Hale, dau nor
of Capt. George Hale of Compo, while
playing about the school house, was
attacked by a ferocious bull dog and
bitten quite seriously. The wounds were
cauterizcd by Dr. L. T. Day. The dog
was owned by a man named Mahoney
who lived very close to the school house,
and it was usually kept chained but that
morning he had broken his chain. The
animal was immediately killed by his
owner.
