The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1857-06-10


DIED-On the morning of the 18th ult.,
EMILY CATdARINE, youngest daughter of
Margaret and Thomas Hart. Esq, of Adams
township, Monroe county, Ohio.
The deceased was a pious and highly re-
spected girl amongst her numerous acquaint-
ances, and had united herself with the people
of God for over a year; the rose tint of youth
yet bloomed over her cheek-aged % years
and perfectly reoonciled to the will Of her Re-
deemer; amidst numerous ardent and prayer
full friends, she went to sleep in His arms; her
soul took its fight to God who gave it; and her
physical organization set out on a journey to
that bourn from whence no traveller returns.
Thou art gone to the grave, and we no longer
dsplore thee,
Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy
side;
But the wide arms of mercy arespread to enfold
thee,
And this is our hope since the Saviour has died.

due warning having been given, replied to

shots, as they did so, from behind corners.
After the smoke cleared away the ter
rible sight was presented of four or five
persons in the agonies of death, and sew
.eral others fearfullY wounded.

of Captain Tyler, and accompanied by
Mayor Magruder. The opposition had,
in the mean time, procured a brass canon,
and stationed it at the Northern Market
house, which they made their head quar-.

After the Mayor had addressed the
crowd, stating that the soldiers were

the market-house to take possession OF the
cannon, amidst every species of taunt and

where he could sleep; and then, as is the Gus

And kiss'd each flowing curl.
'Tis true that | have told them
