Mcdowell, wife OF Gov. Mcdowell, and daugh-
Ter OF the late Gov. Francis Preston, OF Abing-
don. The remarkable beauty of Mrs. Mellow
ell commanded the respectful admiration Of eve
ry beholder, and the laslre Of This jewel was en-
HANGED by The modesly and simplicity with which
i, was worn. Possessing a judgment almost IN
erring, hereditary courage, a serene temper, and
the tendcrest sensibilities, she was worthy Of all
the love OF a devoted husband, was nobly htled
for the arduous duties OF a mother OF a large ia
mily. God was pleased that by his providence
she should be fully tried-how much she was
fried, and how faithfully she bore the uial, none
knew bat those who knew her best. She walled
with God; her isith was set LED, and her good
works were abundant: her end was peace, her
life was a model, and her death was a triumph.
How great their loss who are bereaved OF all
that was so precious. He who would 'ay lhIs
humble tribute on her grave is a mourner 100
10 know her vas 10 love her; and he knew her
