Obituary.

Died, at the residence of her brother, in
Hubbardton, August l3, 1916, Miss JOSE
PINE NELSON, aged q.
The interesting subject of this notice was
first awakened to the ubjcct of religion about
four years since, on the occasion Of the death
Of a beloved sister. She was led to see her
state by nature, and as she then supposed, eX-
perienced a change of heart She never
made public profession of religion, but in
her sickness, and in the prospects of death,
referred to this hope as sustaining her. Her
life, after obtaining forgiveness Of God, if cy
err she did,was not perhaps that Of a good and
faithful servant of the Lord but she was much
devoted to her former pleasures. She bore
her sickness with much patience, and we be-
l!cye, christian resignation, hoping that when
her suffcrings were at an end here, she
should be welcomed to the mansions of the
blessed.
She has left father, brothers, and sister
to mourn the loss of one whom they dearly
loved. May this providence which has taken
from them a lovely daughter and an alice
tomato sister, lead them to Christ, and to an
entire surrender of all they have and are to
his service, that the mansions Of rest may at
last be their abode. May her associates also
take warning from this, for they too must die,
and prepare to meet their God in peace.
Died, at Oswego, Kendall Co., Illinois, on
the goth ult, Lbbius Hascall, ESQ, Counsel
lor ut Law, in the 5Sth year Of his age.
Mr.. Hascail was native Of Pawlet VT,
and was born on the 4th of Oct. 1885,
He subsequently, removed to the state of New
York, where he spent the greater part of his
life in the practice of his profession. Mr.. II.
during the last war with Great Britain, COM
manded company of volunteers, and with
his company took an active part i'll the battle
Of Pittsburgh, Some two years since, with
lis wife he emigratcd to this State, for the
purpose of purchasing home in our praires,
where he hoped in the society of his amiable
companion, and surrounded by his children,
removed from the cares of his profession, to
spend the evening Of his days in peace and
retirement which he SO much coveted, when
re was called upon to prepare for DEATH
About two years since, he was attacked with
. tumor upon the neck, but was so slight as
not to give him any grc;t uneasness until
about three monGhs since, when it increased
so rapidly as to make death inevitable.
surgical operation being the only resort, and
that, as he was informed by his physicians, an
extremely hazardous one, he concluded nev-
ertheless to submit to it. The operation was
performed by DIR. Brainard, of Chicago, as
sisted by number of the faculty-but so far
had his disease advanced that he sank under
the operation, and expired the evening of the
same day.
As a man and a citizen, the character of
Mr.. H. was without blemsh; and remarka-
BILE for his open, honest and frank adherence
to moral principle, Much of his time and
zeal for the last few years were devoted to
the promotion of the temperance cause, of
which he was an able and ardent advocate
AS professional man, he held in the utmost
horror the low cunning and trickery by which
the profession is sometimes degraded by
those who know no other way by which to
make it profitable.
During his last painful illness,w though
protracted, and at times agonizing, he dis
plaved that calm fortitude which character
lied his life And when called to pass through
the dark valley of death, he walked mot alone,
but with q conscience void of offence towards
man, and firm reliance on Divine Provi-
dence His last words were (after few mo-
ments spent in deep meditation) as he step
ped forward to place himself under the ope-
ration, 81 commit my body into the hands of
the surgeon, and my soul I give to God"
Though a stranger among us, Mr. Hascall
had won the friendship and confidence Of
this community, who truly sympathise with
his afflicted family in their bereavement
