Remenyi is simüly immense, his niusic is of such an exquisite nature that it takes hold of a persons finer sense and takes him completoly by storm, and not to have heard this colebrated violiiii.-t can almont be said to be a miefortune. Tuk faniily of Al-r.Wui. McC'reery ofthi.s city, are called upon to mourn thodeathof Elizabeth Isadore, wife of John Michau, who died at their residence in St. Joseph, Missouri, on Monday, February 23, 1880, aged twentyseven years, three ïnonths and , twenty days. The remains were brought to this city Wednesday afternoon, and buricd with her babe, fiom her father's resiJencc, on South Fourth street, Thursday afternoon. Hardly had two years passed since she left the parental home as a happy bride, with bright anticipations of a long and happy life, whichshe was having, whenshe was suddeoly called from time to eternity. The many sympathizing friends of this city tender their sympathies to the bereaved husband and family. Prof. P. B. Rose, of the Uoiversity laboratory, hss just ezamined the stnroach of Mrs. W. H. Lothrop, of Three Kivers, who recently died at Blissfield under suspicious circumstances. The result of the examination ehowed poison in considerable quantities. The 31st of December Mrs. Lothrop left Three Itivers, stating that she was going to Battle Creek, but instead went to Blissfield to be treated for the opium habit. She placed herself under the care of Doctors Eccles and Baker, who say that they had cured her of the habit, and that sbe died from the effect of a severe oold whioh she caught by imprudently eiposing herself. The Three Rivers Uerald states that grave suspicions existcd in. the minds of the citiïens as to the oause of her death, but that a post mortem eiatnination failed to reveal anytbing, and when a second inquest was ordereil, the stomach was not to be found. However, it was subsoquently found and sent to this city for analysis, with the above result.
