DIED-In Westmorsland County, Pa,
on Sunday, June Fl, Mrs. SARAH, wife
ofths Rev. VIM. CoLLEDeE, aged about 5S
years.
Although the deceased had bsen in fee
bic health for some time, yetthe news of the
death Of beloved son, whose decease was
chronicled few weeks ago, no doubt has
tened her final departure. Truly is twrit-
ten, "in the midst Of life we are in death;"
and how solemn and appropriate the ad-
monition, "Be ye also ready" Who can
appreciate or know the full force Of a mo-
theirs love, until that kind voice, which
stayed our childhood's erring footsteps, is
hushed in deathl Whose loving counsel
and gentle admonitions 10 no longer heard
forever? The deceased lived Christian,
and died with an unfaltering trust in God,
and an unwavering hope Of an Inheritance
and crown in Heaven. Her remains
were taken to Clarksburgh, Pa, and inter.
red in the Presbyterian Cemetery at that
place, and there, side by side, sleep the
Mother and her son.
On the 18th inst, in Sunsbury
township. this County, THOMAS, youngest
