DIED-Of typhoid pneumonia, on the morning
of the 9Th instant, at the residence of Mr. VIII
liam Berry in this District, Mrs. JANE SAIARR,
in the G3d year Of her age.
The invasions Of death in the walks of retired
life seldom exhibit moro strikingly than in the
present instance the sublime phenomenon ofipro-
found SORROW blended with the solace Of joy. The
extent of our loss is the measure Of the one, the
lustre of her gain is the boundary Of the other.
Mrs. Smarr became member of the Presbvte-
rian Church, by public profession Of relis sion
when she was young and as wife, mother,
neighbor and friend, she displayed to the end Of
her life, the e1cellencies Of those endearing rela
tionships, as they are moulded and finished by the
hand of religion. Her benefcence to the poor,
her mnistrations at The bedside of the afflicted,
her readiness ut all times to lend assistance to
those around her who needed it, have embalmed
her memory in the affections of the society in
which she lived. Her fervent and consistent pie
ty endeared her to the Church of which she was
member, and maturcd an example worthy the i'm
itation of all who profess to be the followers Of
Christ. Her last illness was season Of severe
suffering, and although protracted through Pc
riod of between three and four weeks, was char
acterized by patient endurance of pain, and
composed submission to the will of God illustra-
ting in O very high degree, the omnipotence Of
Divine grace to sustain the believer in the hour Of
deep afiiction, and to raise the soul to o condi-
ton of tranquility and peace, beyond the power
of bodily pain to destroy: While from day to day,
declining nature yielded the ground to the ap-
proaches of death, she was privileged to enjoy
communion with God 80 intimate and sweet that
she frequently expressed desire to depart and to
be with Christ. The visions of her faith were 60
bright and glorious as she looked within the vail,
"whither Jesus the forcrunner hath for us enter
ed" that the morning light of the heavenly Sab
bath seemed already to dawn upon her soul, and
inspire her bosom with q joy unspeakable and full
Of glory In the increasing brightness of the day
that was rising upon her, her spirit took its de-
parture for the city of the Great King, the heav--
emily Jerusalem, whose builder and Maker is God.

On Monday the 9th instant, at midnight, Ma
RY A., eldest daughter Of DR.. James M. and
Louisa E. Lowry, in the 10th year of her age
Modest, gentle, humble in spirit, thinking always
of herself Hast and least like the little flower
that blooms in secret, she sought rather to con-
ceal than exhibit herself. By the early departure
from this world of such daughter, remarkable
for the virtues that most adorn the child all by
whom she was held dear have suffered no ordinary
loss. Thank God her parents (though sad and
sore-stricken in grief bow with humble and Chris
tian resignation to the Divine will, feeling assur-
ed that their Father in Heaven is too wise to err
and too good to be unkind G.
