OBITUARY.

DIED, near Cambridge in this District
on Wednesday morning the 3lst ult., of
Pulmonary Consumption Mrs. SARAH E.
CHILDS, aged % years and five months.
The deceased was the widow of the late
Capt. RoBr. CHILD, and eldest daughter of
the late Rev. r. M. ToDD.
She has left many sincere friends and de-
voted relatives to lament her early death,
besides son who is entirely too young to
have any knowledge of the great loss he
has sustained. In 1889 while at school at
Grcenville c. H., during revival of reli-
gion Mrs. c. united with the Baptist Church
there; then under the care of the Rev. Mr..
SPAULDING.
If the friendship and kindness of neigh
bors if the affection and tears of relatives
or the skill of medical aid could have re.
tained her, she would still be here, but all
were unable to change that infexible truth,
"Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt re-
turn" Her Heavenly Father had need of
her or he would not have called her home.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of his saints.''
Throughout her afflicton she was patient
and resigned, having, as she expressed her
self, confidence in Christ, But she is gone,
and we shall see her no more on earth no
more shall we enjoy her society, or hear
the sweet music Of her voice she is gone
from tho evil to come-gone to the kingdom
of glory.
Hark, the golden harps are ringing,
| Sounds unearthly fill her ear;
Millions now in Heaven singing,
Greet her joyful entrance there.'
None but those who were intimately ac-
quainted with the deceased, can properly
appreciate her character; to such then we
would say respect hcr memory, by oblitcra-
ting her foibles and initiating her virtues.
o, envy not her blest abode,
In happiness secure g4
Where streams of everlasting bliss,
Their pleasant waters pour.
She quickly summed the yawning Gulf,
| Nor fear'd the threatening king;
Her soul to Heaven was safely borne, 81. 4,

RETREAT OF SANTA ANNA.-We under
stand from reliable authority, says the Mata-
moros Flag Of the 18th inst,; that there are
letters in from Mexicans stating that Santa
Anna is in full retreat TO San Luis Potosi.
The letters also state that he held consul
tation with his principal officers after the
first days engagement, and that retreat
was then strenuously advocated Before
the battle commenced, the Mexicans firmly
believed that Gen. Taylor would retire be-.
fore their vastly superior numbers, and that
in his retreat they could supply themselves
with provisions, of whichthe were in much
need-almost starving. Finding the Ame.
ricans obstinate, and determined 10 fight for
their eatables with the ferociousness of
bulldogs, they despaired of getting dinner
from them and deemedlt prudent to retire.
