A Circumstance occurred on Sunday morning
last, at New Hope, few miles from This place. Of
a peculiarly distressing nature. Mrs. Kirkland.
the vile OF James Kirkland, with others, had made
application TO be baptized, and that morning was
appointed for its administration. The ordinance
was first performed on Mrs. Kirkland and it was
observed by the minister, as well as by those on,
shore, that, as he was about laying her in The water,
her head fell forward; after being raised she made
but one or two gasps, and expired. 1t appears that
she had fainting fit in the morning but the inn
mediate cause OF her death be accounted for.
Mrs Kirkland was about twenty-five years Of age.
