DIE

In Northfeld, very suddenly. on the lith inst,
Mrs. Annis Warner, wife Of MI. Lyman Warner,
aged II. In the death of this excellent woman,
not only large circle of relatives and friends. but
the society in which she moved, and the church Of
which she was for nearly fifty years one Of the
brightest ornaments, have sustained loss not soon
to be forgotten. Engaging heart and hand in eve-
ry good work, she has left the impress Of her chris
tan character on the minds OF those who forget not
the dead who die in the Lord. Although % far
advanced in life she was at the time Of her death,
q teacher in the Sabbath School, thus by her ex.
ample reminding others, especially the aged, Of
what they should esteem as their duty and their
privilege. Having left her home in usual health,
she died while on the way to attend meeting OF
the Ladies' Benevolent Society, thus departing
from the world while actually engaged in aiding
the cause Of her Lord and Master. and saying to the
living, swatch, for ye know neither the day nor
the hour wherein the Son Of Man cometh." Tho
much might be said of her character and worth,
her best eulogy swrtten on hearts Of her friends.
