Mrs. David Willard died at her home in Santuc township on Thursday night froui smallfiox. Shu leaves a husband, six children, one of whom isaniufani, which has a li^ht case of smallpox. All of the family were vaccinated except the mother, wh ? was in a delicate state of health, some time last yea-, and tin young 5-t child. The litt.lp one took the disease, and from it the moth r coof.v?o i..- ? * J* * successfully vacshmted escaped. 'I ho husband, who attended to h's wife lady, did uot c nitraut the disease, as tie had been successfully vaccinated. This is a convincing proof that vaccination is a preventive. We sincsrely sympathize with the father and little ones who have , lost their best friend. Mrs. Willard was a sister-in-law to Supevisor T. J. Batenbaugh. She leaves many friends in j Union to mourn lier untimely death. ! She was .'{ "> years of age. The romahis were buried in the Sard is chinch yard, of which church she was a devour, and 1 consistent member. v ~" \ Bird's Eye View ot Buffalo. In a trip to Buffalo we noticed that the great work is going steadily forward, and a regular army of laborers are emf ployed. We watched the laborers from the top of the big mill as they lined up to the office for their pay, and it had the ?- appearance of a little army lined up for N inspection. . The roof of the great building is nearly finished and the greater portion of it I already covered with paper, tar and gravel covering. A small place is still ,e left oneu for the working of the hoisting ,n derricks. The Arc proof partitions art 'n being put in on the third and fourtl floors and the tunnels for heat and elec1(r trie wires are being covered over, and one would not imagine while walking '1P over ihe smooth eetueiit il hu- that then were hundreds of yards of tunnels undo , his feet. )'1 The power hou~o is up to the thin m floor and Hk: tall, uoright boilers are ii nd place. The ground il ?or of tfiis buildin lP|. is also a labyrinth of tunnels and passag .. r ways, in which one could easily loose hi way when all are covered over and con or cealcd by the cement tl >or. tin We noticed just in front of the bi| mill a mammoth I ell, weighing 35,01) pounds, which is to i>o placed in the nrf on tower; we understand a clock will I to placed in the tower at the other end c the building. Both of these towers at K" nearing completion and, with the 1 M pressed buff brick trimmings and ham A. somely arched windows, present a vei r.r.l attractive appoarence, many visitors sa they are the prettiest seen in the bouii We noticed while on top the mill, thi there are a largo number of new housi ' going up along the West Springs ica the tirst houses built have all been painti . and th? place already has the appearaw Ir"> of quite air extensive town. A magnificent view of the surroun nB- ing country can be obtained in eve > i8 direction from the top of the buildin e or Over to the northwest we see the stai A pipe has already Inen built which is the furnish the water for the town. T snt. base of this stand pipe is above the le1 dol- of the top of the factory, and will furui por- considerable pressure. Just across t edy, railroad track to the northwest a lai ind' warehouse with four compartments lt ' being built. UJq The second or intermediate floorinf ther Pu^ down on the 2ud, 3rd and .. doors of the mill, some parts of ? machinery are already being hoistec 1 "P the different floors and tlie autonu T by sprinklers and the shafting is being ft in.
