Mrs. Burrowes was the subject Of
protracted illness, accompanied much
of the time with extreme suffering. and

prayed that grace and resignation to
meet her end with calmness and tran
guilty, might be given. and she pray
ed not in vain. Her exit was calm and
peaceful, while all the consequences o.
death were closely scrutinlzed. An
unusual degree Of fortitude AMI self
