DIED: At Lafnrie, Pa, on Sunday Evening Itlarch 29, 1891, Jlrn. Mary A. neylrrt, Wife of tVllllain .tlerlcrt K»q,, In Ibe Sixty- Fourth l'ear of (for Jlgr. Mrs. Meylert whose maiden name was Gregory, was born in Dimmock Susquehanna county, but the greater portion of her childhood, and early womanhood were spent in the City of Hartford Conn., iu the family of the late Reuben Chpptnan, surround ed by the best Christian influences. She early made a profession of re ligion and united herself Vvith the First Eaptist Church, of Hartford then under the pastorship of the Rev. R. Turnbull. In 1851 she married William Mej*- ( lert and since that date has i-esided at LaPorte Sullivan county, where she Has ever been earnestly and actively engaged in the advance ment of all Christian and moral work until absolutely prevented by impaired health. Upon the organi zation of the LaPorte and Eagles- Mere Baptist Church, over thirty j five years ago, she was one of the constituent membersbeingassociated with the families of Baldwin, Jones, Haywood, Pe&le, Little and others in aiding and forwarding the mission work of Rev. N. Callender, whose zealous, self sacrificing work for his Master will long be remembered by the older families of our county. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss. Not only was Mrs. Meylert a zealous and devout Christian, ever ready and efficient, iu all church work but she was one of those noble coucicntious self sacrificing women whose in- Uuence for good was felt by all. Ever ready to do all in her power to assist her friends, neighbors or others who were in need of help. ( The poor and needy wefe never turned from her door, but all were made to feel that in her they had a friend. She was a most kind and affec ; tionuto wife and mother a pleasant and obliging neighbor, and one whose loss will be felt by our whole community. She has been a great sufferer for years, but has borne her sufferings with most christian fortitude with-1 out inurmurings or complaint. Of her it can be most truthfully said : j "her children shall rise up and call her blessed." The family have the heartfelt; sympathy of our whole community, j The funeral services were held j Wednesday, at 2:30 p. in., Rev. 11. C.

We understand that large petitions for and against the bill have been sent in for the consideration of Members. James A. Ross and R. H. Guy, both acting in the capacity of mine Super intendents at Bernice, made llar risburg a call, recently in the inter est of the bill. It is generally un derstood thrt should the bill be come a law the result would be very detrimental to miners in this locality, while a few (?) have quite the re verse opinion. It is expected that the bill will coifie up for second reading next week and a lively time is looked for. We were given to under stand that Hon. Russel Karns is op posed to the bill and will take de cided steps to defeat it.. Eon. Grant Herring, senator of tbis dis. trict will no what he can to further the pass.'vge of the bill. A'retired farmer who has had time to try experiments and note the results, says that for the last three years he has planted a bean or two in each potato hill, and has never seen a Colorado beetle on the potatoe tops where beans were grow ing in the same hill.

Grip has taught the sound lesson that a cold cannot be neglected in onr climate as it can in the more temperate Winters of England.
