Fnnn tltil Elmira Aaitrt-lair. A London dispatch anhoxinces tjhe death Monday night of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Dean of Westminster and one elf the most illustrious divines and authors of the English etarch.

The serious illness of the Dtian was reported to his American friends by private dispatches, and fears were then ised that the disease with which he wan then attacked, erysipelas, would prove fatal. He wad however conscious at the time and sent liis love to dear friends this side of the sea. The Dean was in the G'Uth year of his agi). His father was a scholarly bishop of the English church and the author of several treatises on natural historj that recorded his personal investigations and Strikingly illustrated the versatility of bis talents. The son wt.s educated at Rughy and Oxford, and subsequently resided at the UnivenHty for 12 years as a tutor.

He served with great distinction for eight years us Regius of history at Oxford and in 1B64 was nuide Dean of Westminster, which position he held at the time of liis death. He rias written more than 20 books devoted largely to education and religion in their historical and philosophical aspects. Almost any one of his woiks would have been sufficient to place the author in the front rank of ecclesiastical literature, and taken col- leciively they are a monument to his learning and taste at once stupendous and beautiful. No mind in the modern English church has been more productive than his, none combining in such faultless proportions tlie qualities of massive greatness and polished grace, tie was in strength and beauty miirble column in the temple of England's religion and letters. His spirit sweet, and his creed broad and catholic.

Throughout Christendom this leader of England's broad" chuich party is loved and revered. Not long since Visited America, and by his public addresses and the chaiming grace of his personal a ner lie deepened anil widened tlie already great popularity in which he was held by our people on account of his purity rf character and liberality of life. NCI man ever paid a more appre- ciatl ve tribute to the greatness of the Wes.leys and the inestimable value of their religious reform in England and Aniu'ica than did this occupant of one of the most distinguished offirea in the cbmch from which Methodism seceded. He sympathies were world-wide, sincere and practical. His life was preeminently useful, and his memory will be precious treasure in the piety and sch larship of both 'Continents.

The volume particularly describes the many points of Interest on the line of the Denver and Bio Grande railroad, comprising the grandest and most delightful scenery to be found la those two states. Denver, Colorado Springs, the mineral springs of Manitou, the gorges and canons, the ancient cliff dwellings, old ruins of the Pueblos, the rich mining districts of the Gunnison and San Juan countries, are a few of the many interesting topics treated of in this most valuable treaties. The Denver and Rio Grande railroad company is doing more to develop the mineral and agricultural resources of Colorado and Mew Mexico than any road west of the Missouri. And the fact that this company advertises for 10,000 laborers to work on its railroad extensions in Colorado and Utah, guar- ranteelng them two years steady employment at, remunerative wages, shows with yrliat vigor the road is being pushed. There never was a time when so many in the east were seeking to better their fortunes in the far west, and those wao dssire the most trustworthy information regarding these states-we would advise them to secure a copy of the book to which we refer.

Any information regarding the territory through which the Denver and Rio Grande passes will be most cheerfully furnished by applying to D. C. Dodge, General Manager, or F. C.

She left a note addressed to her father ann mother, in which she announced iier departure, and asked their forgiveness. Further investigation proved that the erring wife had been making preparations to leave for some days, as Hhe had packed away all her wardrobe and jewelry and surreptitiously conveyed them from the house. She aUo took with her $600 in money, which beloiged to herself, and which was kept in the house.

At about the same time that Mrs. Howell was missed, it was also discovered that John Decker, a laborer employed by Mr. Uowell, was also missing, and when later the intelligence was received that they liad been seen driving together across the country, the whole truth of the wife's perfidy flashed across the husband mind. It is understood that the couple drove to Walden and took a train over the Wallkill Valley Railroad. Mrs.
