THEW, infant son Of DR.. Thomas Davis,
late of thi. town.
On Friday last. at tho residence Of her

ter Of the late Msgnus Tate.
To Waterford, Loudoun county, Va. on
/ the sIst uit.. ELLEN. consost Of Rev. Jas.
Berkeley, and daughter of T. Cromwell,
esq, OF Md.
The subject Of the following remarks,
who departed this life after short illness.
on Wednesday last. aged nearly 10, is
Miss MARGARET SIMMONS, eldest dsugh-
| ter Of MIR. Joseph Simmons. Of this town.
Cut down at such an age, it would seem
almost unnecessary to write line eulogi
cal Of the deceased-her age voluntarily
suggesting the idea Of virtue and innocence
combined. SO common too has il become
in this age Of the world, to write high
sounding praises Of the dead, on all occa
sions. that the hacknied phrases of Obitu
ary Notices do but injustice to her me-
mory. Let il suffice TO say, that she was
one Of that class Of persons whose strong
powers of mind soar above the bounds
prescribed by the discriminating rules of
society, and aim at perfection in those at
tainments worthy Of intellectual and ac-
countable beings.
Possessing. as she did. those powers in
an eminent degree, she could not do 9th
erwise than thirst after the requirement OF
knowledge; and, the writer Of this hazards
nothing, when asserting that she made "a
pid progress in the pursuit thereof.
But her life was cut short when Just
budding into usefulness, by the unerring
hand of the Destroyer-whoseb breath swept
over the bright picture Of her existence.
like bosom, and obliterated all that was
mortal. In the hour Of death, when all
earthly knowledge availeth nothing. she
was supported BY the pleasing hope of en-
joying blissful eternity she died as she
had lived, Christian.-She has gone TO
that Heaven which
is the dwelling place of 10y,
The home Of lgh, and love"
