Mn. EzEttlEt. NEwats.ti, ono of Can
ton's n.ost honored citizens, died at hiS
residence in that village on - Wednesday of
last week, of heart disease, aged 58 ytars.
The Sentinel in speaking of his death
says : "Ho was a man v of sterling worth
and integrity, and like many of our best;
men, better known by deeds, than words.
He was just and generous, as Many .can
testify, whom he has helPed when trou
bled and diStressed. He took great inter
est halm educational matters of our bor
ough, and the School Boat:d have lost a
friend and counsellor, in the
.death of
their President. We shall miss his pres
ence on our streets, but not in our hearts
and memories." ,
AT a farewell reception given to Rev.
and Mrs. 8; L. Comm, in the beautiful
ainrch parlors or the Presbyterian
Church, at Troy, on Thursday evening
last, nearly the whole congregation were
present, and many members of other de
nominations. A bountiful supper was
prepared by the ladies, and served in
handsome style by several young gentle
men of the congregation. In the evening,
Dr. E.G. TRACY, in behalf of the compa
ny, presented to Mrs. CONDE a beautiful
basket of flowers, which was found to
contain in addition a gift of $lO5. This
presentation wasfollowed by the reading
of a parer by ALBERT MORGAN, Eaq., ex
pressive of the general respect of the com
munity for the quiet Christian bearing of
the pastor's wife.

Tlft finest burial casket that has ever
come under our observation is the one on
exhibition at FUOST'd Sons' Furniture es-•
tablishment. It is mado,of black walnut
and lined with white silk: Its outer trim

elaborate—are of nickel and. French wal
nut, bielily polished. The glass in the top is
of heavy plate, and is arranged to slide.
All in all, we do itot see where an im

let, either as regaras beauty of finish or
otherwise. It was manufactured •at Gin

Tns Elmira Daily Gazette is l among the
best conducted daily papers that we have
a knowledge of. We heard it said when
another paper was started' that the Ga
zette would "diu out," but it hasn't worth
a cent. On , the contrary, we do not know
of any time in its history, when it has
shown as much vigor and life as - pres
ent. Its local reports from this and ad,
joining counties, are exceeding!) , full, and'
well gotten up, • while the typOßaphical
apl earance of the paper would . !)e) hard to
improve upon. There but liet change
we would desire to mike in.the. Gazette if ,
it were ours, and that would be in poli

and we suppose it will continuo .to be

' 'printed just the same, our eljection to
the contrary notwithstanding. And NV$

supppso also that we will continue to 1,4
