uniformly amiabe and polite in her intercourse, obe-
diant and kind in her behavior, charitable towards all
aud especially cautious that no word of bitterness,
should drop from her tongne.
She occupied prominent place in the Senior clas,
Of the City High Scheol thorough her studies she
we'll rewarded the industry Of her loved Teachers and
with laudable pride they anticipated the morit oil
her approaching graduation.
Death found her prepared for his coming; early in
life she listened 10 the voice Of the Savior and obeyed
IT, She was consistent member Of the Baptist church
and gave evidence by life of piety and devotion o.
the sincerity of her profession.
But in place will her absence be so severely fell
as in the family circle. 1t there she stood as
centre of attraction, and there gathered the
warmcst affections and the fondest hopes, and there
where she difused around her the ehoerfuness ant

G. w. & z. r. R.-We osrn from the
Lexington Organ that the work upon the
first section east of the tunnel on this road
near that placc,is rapidly approaching com.
pletion. The section comprises the hcavi.
est work upon the road, the section con-
tanning the tunnel alone excepted. Itcon-
sists of 'flP the entire section varying
from forty to sixty feet.
On this end of the road we are sorry to
say, the work has been temporarily sus-
pended, owing to the severe and prolonged
stringcncy in the money market. 1t being
next to impossible to raise money on the
obligations of the company without ruin,
Gus sacrifice, tho contractors have deemed
it advisable to stop work for the time be,
ing, but hopo to resume at an early day.
We trust their anticipations will be realized
