He is Supposed to be Insane.
Albert NOBLE was rescued from the canal yesterday afternoon at a point near the
Plymouth avenue bridge. He was sitting on the bank when a boat approached and
made no attempt to avoid the tow-line, which drew him into the water, and when
drawn out by one of the boatmen, turned around and deliberately jumped into the
canal. Officers HYNES and CUMMINGS were notified and succeeded in drawing him
out just as he was sinking for the last time. He was subsequently taken to the
jail. He had been furnished lodging at the station Saturday night. It is thought
that he is insane. In his pocket was a small purse containing an old key and a
watch key, and newspaper clipping entitled, "Going to Sleep - How Matters
are Made Interesting for the Head of the Family." Between the head-lines of
the article NOBLE had interlined the words, "The wages of sin are
death." In another place was written, "Aug.14, '86."

In Memoriam.
EAST AVON, Aug. 14. - Miss Harriet S. TAINTOR, daughter of Dr. TAINTOR of this
place, a charming and estimable young lady, died at West Bend, Wis., on the 6th
inst. She was graduated from the Lima Seminary only last June, the most
flattering honors of her class being conferred upon her. She also completed at
the same commencement an accomplished musical education. For some time she has
been in rather feeble health, but not to a degree to debar her from her
passionate fondness and untiring diligence in literary and musical studies. When
done with school life a short trip through the west was planned, and on July
14th, in company with her mother and sister Grace, they departed in good spirits
and brilliant anticipations of the pleasant times in store for them, hoping
travel and change of scenes might recuperate and molify the long, hard, nervous
strain she had endured in obtaining her education. While on their way from
Milwaukee to Muskegon a stop was made at West Bend, Wis., when she was taken
suddenly ill and in a very few hours expired. It was sad news to send back to
her home, where she was so well loved by all. She was interred in Forest Grove
Cemetery, Milwaukee, in a primitive forest, planted by nature, beautified by
winding roads, gravelly walks, cool sylvan glens, _____ knowls, thousands of
flower mounds, a beautiful place to rest and sleep the long, last slumbers. Her
parents are both living, and with two sisters remain to mourn the loss of a most
precious treasure. Her vacant chair will cast a sadness over her once happy home
that she has gone, but the faith that looks higher than the grave will be only
interposed by a _____, silvery cloud, that obstructs the natural vision between
the spirit land and this. The ______ sympathy is tendered the sorrowing family,
and many a tear shed that Hattie will return to us no more. so
