Jan. 29. the body of Jane Cottlng, wife of Dr. Robert F. Bennett, of Elgin, was laid to rest in the Rich­ mond cemetery. She died at Elgin the preceding Saturday morning at 3:30 o'clock. After appropriate services at Elgin, the body was brought to Rich­ mond on the morning train. The Rev. Mr. Boynton,of the Universallst church, Elgin, coniucted the funera! service* in Richmond,preaching a beautiful and comforting sermon. Mrs. Bennett was the daughter of (7. G. and Sally Cottlng of this place, and was horn in the Stats of Vermont,'Apri! 10th, 1835, Her girl­ hood and married life were spout In Richmond up to about nine years ago. when the Doctor removed to Elgin where they had since lived. Her long residence here as child, wife and mother, had endeared her to % very large circle of frier.d*( whoso love for her the few years of her absence had not abated. She was a faithful wife, a dutiful daughter, a loving mother, a trusty friend, a true woman. She will be very sadly missed In the circle in which she mored. but she left behind her the incense of a well spent, afieo- tlonate life as a solace to those who mourn her. On Saturday, Feb. 3d, the body of the venerable Charles G. Cottlng fol­ lowed that of his daughter to its last resting place in the Richmond ceme­ tery. On the news of Mrs. Bennett's dangerous illness he received a shock which, It Is thought, hastened his de­ mise. He at once took to his bed and never arose from It again. An erysipe­ latous inflammation of the left arm soon set in, adding greatly to his suf­ ferings. A faithful wife, son and daugh­ ter, with other relatives and friends, were untiring In their care and atten­ tion, but despite all he quietly passed away on Thursday, Feb. 1st, in his 79th year. At Ids reqnest, years ago made, his funeral services were held at Id* lato residence, and wore ^In charge of the Masonic fraternity. Despite the snow blockade and tho cold weather, the at­ tendance at tho funeral was very large. The Rev. Mr. Boynton, of Elgin, preached an Impressive and eloqnetit sermon from James, 4th Chapter and part of 14th verse: **For what is your life?" The discourse was a logical and comforting argument that even tills life, were there no hereafter, maybe made worth the living, and that for ail mankind there Is a better and a* |ra* mortal state, "When lif«s fitful <trema Is #'»t" , * Mr. Opting was born In Ashburnham, MvU. .Tm»« Mt li lft(U WJmui • •nun* the founders of the village and gave It Its name. If we remember rightly he came hero in 1831, the year the writer was born. He was for many years actively engaged In promoting the In­ terests of Richmond and what It Is to­ day it owes as much to bim as any other man. At 21 years of ago Mr. Cottlng bo* came a Manon and remained a constant and honored member of that order to the day of his death. When Richmond Lodge. No. 143, wasorganizod ho was a charter member and became Its first Worshipful Master. For many years pnst he has been the faithful secretary of the Lodge. It was very seldom in­ deed that lie was absent from a meet­ ing, and the carefulness and correctness ol his records will be a lasting memento to his b&thren of bis "fsrveucy and aeal." * We think no voice can be raised to demur when wo say that Mr. Cottlng was that "noblest work of God, an hon­ est man." His word was as good as Ills bond. In all his business transactions he was noted as acting "on the square." His love of truth and uprightness wa* strong, his hatred of hypocracy and sham was stronger. He was firm in his convictions and ever ready to defend his conviction* of the right. Among his neighbors he was universally re­ spected and lie has passed awny full of years and honors,universally regretted. At a regular communication of Rich­ mond Lodge No. 143 A. F and A. M,. the fullowing resolut ions of respect and condolence were adopted: ^ Wherkas. It has pleased our Heav­ enly Grand Matter to call from labor to refreshment our venerable and much loved brother. C. G. Cottlng. therefore Resolved'. That while we bow In humble submission to tho Divine will, we at the same time deplore the los$ from our midst of a brother whose life­ long fidelity to the cause of Masonry, whose character as a man and a brother, exemplifying the highest Masonic vir­ tues. endeared him not only to the Craft but also to the whole circle of his acquaintance. Resolved: That we tender to hi* be­ reaved family the deepest sympathy in their great bereavement and invoke for their consolation and guidance the losing heart and gentle hand of that Father, who. in the dispensations of even His most mysterious providences, doeth all rhings well.

On the road leading toward Antiocft, only a mile or so. live an aged couple named Slater, and Ed Kimball. Kim­ ball ha* long been known to be subject to fits of insanity, and has, on several occasion* shown homicidal tendencies. Auout daylight Monday morning. Feb­ ruary Sth, he went to Mr. Slater's house called him np and aaked for a pistol. Tho old man replying that he had none, or something to that effect, was .at­ tacked oy the madman with a knife. In the struggle they both fell to the floor, when Mrs. Slater recovered from her fright sufficiently to seize a billet of wood, with which she so effectually belabored her husband's assailant that he left, remark tug that he "would rather fight two men than one woman." Blr. Slater has a fearful gash, extend­ ing from iu front of ear downward across the throat, his arm sla*hed across to the bone, and three stabs In the breast. The attending physician says he cannot live. Wo give these facts as related by a young man who had been to the scene of the tragedy, and they are doubtless, in the main* correct.
