Another Sudden Death. On Friday evening of last week Mrs. Mary Ann Robertson, who resided on North Walnut at., died suddenly while at the supper table She was in her usual . health, and but a few minutes before the final

summons came was speaking of tho

unusual number of deaths among

aged persons during the present se

vere winter, and one of her guests had arisen from the table and was passing out of the room, when Mrs.

Robertson, who was quite heavy

and stiffened with age, placed her

left arm upon the table and grasping the back of her chair with the right hand, made an effort as if to arise, and as she did so her head dropped forward on the table. Hilary Headley, who sat next to her sprang to his feet and raised her up, but with one or two faint gasps she died. Mrs. Robertson was beloved by all who knew her she was one of those kind, genial women whose happiness consisted in making others happy. She was

the mother of the Robertson Bros., grocers of this place, and a sister of Mrs. Geo. A. Boskirk. Her

age was 73 years.

Order a neat suit of clothes

from Mr. MoGee, the artist tailor, at once, before the rush begins ; it

will pay you to do so. A suit that he makes will be a source of pleasure, while an illy-fitting and badly

made Buit ia a constant source of

discomfort. Several Bloomington gentlemen contemplate engaging in poultry raising on a large scale, this

spring and summer, and it is their

intention to procure the latest improved incubaters for that pur

pose. The prospect for sowing oats was never worse in this county.

On Mar. 18, Tuesday morning of!

last week thermometers indicated

from 6 to 10 deg. above zero, and

with the ground frozen to a depth of two feet in many places, it will

be readily seen that plowing for oats is accompanied with disadvan

tages.

Tbe secretary of the state

board of agriculture neports that the

freeze last week has occasioned

more harm to the wheat crop than was inflicted by the winter's severity. The wheat already nipped by the winter's ice and sleet, now ex

posed, has been badly bitten by the present cold wave. The southern

part of the state has suffered more

in -this respect than tbe northern

Taken in connection with the re-

renchars can annreciate this element ot

her character mora than any other persons.

The consumption of wood and coal for an "open" winter has been

enormous. Chicken pox is quite prevalent among tbe children of this

place, at present. It would be interesting to know just how many persons have remov

ed to Kansas and Nebraska this

spring, from Monroesounty. The present has been the poorest sugar making spring within the

recollection of tho oldest inhabi

tant." W . W. Browning, Represents

tive for Brown and Monroe counties,

died at Indianapolis, Sunday night,

after two days' illness, with bron

chitis, brought on by exposure to the cold while going to a fire. Several of our young folks at

tended a social at the residence of James Small, on last Friday eve. Last Saturday eggs arrived in

town by every wagon, and in baskets on every horse. Never was a greater egg-day seen. Cau it be

possible that the new administration has caused this boom in the egg trade?

One of the most pleasant socials of tbe season took place at the residence of Dr. Axtell on last

Friday evening. Ihe occasion

and efforts of the neighborhood. It is one of the best neighborhoods in the county. The Woniens' Missionary Society of the M. E. Church gave an

interesting anniversary exercise last

Sabbath evening. Miss Hettie Armfield gave a scriptural reading; M rs. B. F. Aoaros read a paper on Mexico ; Miss Laura Hendrix read

an instructive selection on the He- j aeon's Experience"; Miss Katei

Pearson had a well written essay on ! the rewards of Christian labor. Mrs. W. B. Hughes, the President of the Society .showed her fitness for such a position by the ease and ability with which she presided. The efforts of the ladies are, at present, in the interest of a Mission School in Pueblo, Mexico. To a stranger,

sympathizing with their great cause, tlie exercises seemed in every part a success, very beneficial to the audi ence, and encouraging to the earnest

women interested in Christian Missions. Evidently, the mission spirit; still lives,

Mrs. Zipporah Browning has sold her dwelling house, adjoining Dr. Axtell's residence, ou cast 6lh street to Wm. Kennedy, for $1,000. The house is but one story and quite small, and there is but a half lot. R. W. Miers was acting in the
