Obituary.
DIED,-On the 9th OF October, Mrs HANNAH
DAVIS, wife Of William Davis, aged 30 years
and months. Surely, at such an hour as we
know not, death mag come One month"; to a
day and an hour, after she dressed herself for
the wedding, her friends dressed her lifclcss
body for the grave. Thus one short month
terminated all her earthly hopes. and measured
her married life. Youthful, lovely, amiable,
above almost all others. She has gone--ikc
the flower Of the field, she has been cut down
What were her feelings in view Of death, or
how her faith showed the test of the dying
hour. we know not; although, for many days,
she had been sick Of Il fever, none thought her
case in the least alarming, till she began to
sink in death and it was too late even to bid
| her fathers house, or the husband of her youth
| farewell. But we have hope in her death. In
youth and health, she had given herself up
| in covenant to God, and united herself with
the church of Christ
| DIED,-On the 11th inst, Mr. DANIEL. CHAM
EEnLA1N, formerly of Wcstborough, Mass :,
aged 81 years. Thus God, in his holy provi-
dence, hath smittcn again. The deceased
was universally beloved and esteemed--uni
| form, conscientious, and consistent in life !;
humble, penitent, but calm in death. He has
left friends here, but joined friends above. He
was soon to have been united in marriage with
| u sister of Mrs Davis, but the Lord will not
suffer their union to be consummated till his
| intended meet him al the marriage supper Of
the Lamb. For ten years, Mr. Chamberlain
| had been a member of the Church Militant We
! trust he is now member of the church tri-
umphant. Death to him had no terrors. In
view of death and eternity, he could exclain,
ooh, how happy am" Let him that readeth
understands "Blessed arc the dead who die in
| the Lord"

Christian, a wise and judicious mother. Deep

The following summer she had the unspeaka.
BILE privilege of seeing her husband, and all
