OBITUARY.

Died, at 'sIndantown,'' the residence of the
family, Mrs. ANN FREEMAN, wife of JOHN d.
FREEMAN, Esq, on Tuesday, 2lst January, 1851
in the AID year Of her age.
Could the fond devotion of husband, the doat-
ing love of children, the high regard and sincere
esteem of acquaintance and friends have warded
off the approach of that grim Tyrant, who holds
his iron sceptre alike over individuals and nations,
she had not died but the ways of Providence are
lnscrutable. Within the short circle of twelve
months the angel of death has thrice visited this
family. Two promising sons just standing on the
verge Of manhood had been hurried to the grave,
with all the fond hopes of opening existence nip
ped iii the bud by an untimely frost; and now the
devoted wife, the doating mother the esteemed
and beloved friend lives for us only in the memory
of her wellspent life, and in her example of care
full christian performance of duty to her God and
to her fellow creatures; and We humbly hope she
is now reaping her rich reward in that bssful "a
bode where flow rivers Of pleasure forevermore.
'sAttend her grave each object of desire,
Each purer flame, inflamed with purer fire,
Be all that's good that cheers and softens life,
| The tender sister, mother, friend and wife;
And when your virtues you We counted er
| Then view her grave, and be proud no more"

report by a committee, after personal inspection,

initiated. The Journal says:

the growing popularity of this admirable insttu-
ton, the beneficial results of which are not only
