Caroline Leroy Webster, on Sunday, February 2Cth, at the Leroy Blansion, was announced generally by the pres.s, and awakened many slumberiug memories of her life, as.sociated with New York, Boston and \\'ashington, as well as with Pelham and New Rochelle. Born at the house of her father, Jacob Leroy, Esij., New York, 1797, a considerable proportiou of her early remembrances were associated with scenes of rural life pertaining both to the manor and the town.

" Mr. Webster having met Miss Leroy at her city residence, recognized at once the rare qualities of her intellectual culture, her graceful manners, her conversational gifts and her queenly power as a leader of society. In the year 182'J she became his secoud wife, and in the more extended sphere of social and public life that she thus entered was, from firet to last, perfectly at home.

"The storm that raged on Wednesday, March 1st, was at its height when the funeral service wtis ministered in Trinity Church, New Rochelle, by the rector, Rev. Mr. Canedy and Rev. Sir. Higgins, rector of Christ Church, Pelham, and as the attendance of ladies was necessarily limited, the large gathering of gentlemen, from homes far and near, was remarkable, indicating the profoundly cherished memories relating to the career of the great statesman, the completed close of whose homelife on earth seemed as if now emphasized by the funeral dirge within the temple and the majestic voice of the tempest without.

" Not long after the death of Mr. Webster, as we w ell remember, one hundred citizens of Boston contributed one thousand dollars each to a fund of one hundreil thousand dollars, which was invested for Mrs. Webster's benefit, and the interest of this she duly received at her home in New Rochelle, a timely and welcome contribution to the cheer of her tranquil life evening.
