Seldom are we called to record death so
much deplored. The funeral took place on
Monday, and, notwithstanding the unpleasant
ness of the day, a numerous concourse were in
attendance. A short prayer was made at the
house by the Rev. Mr.. Crippin. Thence the
procession moved to the Episcopal church where
prayers were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Taylor
of Ann Arbor, and discourse delivered by the
Rev. Mr.. Powers from the second verse of the
sixty-frst Psalm:-"Lcad me TO The Rock that
Is higher than IL The l25th and 18th hymns
of the Episcopal Collection were sung by nu-
merous choir. During the whole of the servi-
ces, the most intense feeling pervaded the crow
ded audience. The preacher said that he shrunk
from compliance with the custom of speaking
of the departed, for he felt he could not do JUS
tice to her memory. Of person, comely; man
ners polished, courteous and bland; of dispo-
stion, amiable and sweet; of heart open, sin
cere and pure; of habits, contemplative and de-
vout, no wonder that she should so long have
remained decided fayorite among us. But
here, Che sadly was combinations of blandsh-
ments; galaxy of graces and virtues which
neither pen, nor pencil,nor tongue can portray.
To form any adequate conception of the deceas-
ed, the living model must have been studied; and
though the indellible impress rest upon the
memory, it cannot be transferred, but must for
ever remain incommunicable with those who
had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance
In distribution, Che sadly know her to have lib
eraI and generous; yet as unpretending as she
was in manner modest and retiring. Attached
to opinions in which she had been educated,
when the first impulse was over, she was ever
tolerant and liberal. In this respect, she was
among the few with whom one could differ with
out discord, land expostulate without excitement.
There was something about her which, though
it might not excite admiration, yet could never
fail to win. There are, with whom we meet
and part with fuctuating feelings; but she was
always met and left, to be loved. l adverted
Che sadly at the opening, to her coastancy at
church. This, with her rivited attention, was
calculated to impress me favorably with her pie
ty; yet this impression greatly deepened by a
more private intercourse and interchange oil
thought. Long Che said,) shall retain rec
objection of her deep sense of gratitude to God,
when IN her bed-chamber she asked me to re-
turn thanks for her deliverance from former per-
il. We are left the assurance that "I'he RICH
teous shall bein everlasting rentensbrance;' and
doubt not that her virtues and devotion will
receive more imperishable record than any
which earth can furnish.
In this village on the It'll inst, ANDREW
CORNISH, youngest SON of JOHN T. and HES
TERANN VAUGHAN, aged two years and seven
months.
s.Adieu, sweet child, thy tender form
No more shall racking pains disrend,
No more shall life's tempestuous storms
Upon thy helplessness descend.
Sweet child, thy death to usis great
But unto thee 'tis boundess gain;
IT'S for ourselves alone, we. weep,
For thou art free from all our pain. y "a
