DIED.

On Sunday morning last, at the residence of
Heroine l.. 0pie, Esq. her son-in-law, Charles
town, Wal Mrs. MARGARET Muse, in the Goth
year of her age.
The deceased was lady of the most exempla.
nv christian virtues Few have ever exhibited
in their lives and conversation more perfect
fulfillment of the command Ito love God with
all the heart, mind soul and strength, and our
neighbors as ourselves. Her devotion to the
cause of Christianity, and her generous. beneyo-
lence, were the theme of universal praise. ihe
poor and needy resorted to her continually tor
relief, and her ample means were most literally
and unostentadously used for alleviating their
distress Her religion was entirely free from
bigotry. For very many years before her DEATH
she was member of the Episcopal church, to
which she was warmly attached. She peverthe,,
less gave literally to The support OF ministers OF
the gospel of other denominations, and joined
them in worship whenever an opportunity offered.
Her house was the seat of generous hospitality,
and she was universally beloved. She endured
her distressing and lingering illness. with fortl,
tude which no philosophy, which nothing but the
most entire confidence in her Creator, and the
hope of ..bIessed immortality" could Afford
She is gone to receive her reward.
