g. IE,RsiAN relict of Lewis Hartman, deed !,
and daughter of the late Michael CARRIER, of
Staunton, in the 59th year of her age-af-
ter brief and painful Illness Of about for
ty-eight hours.
The death Of this most estimable lady will
be deeply mourncd by large circle of at
tached relatives and friends, who had known
and loved her for her many virtues, through
a long life of usefulnes and exemplary piety
AS daughter, sister, wife, mother friend,
none knew her but to love and admire her
Long will her bereaved children remember
with tears, her affectionatc kindness-her
sweet and wholesome influences, in training
them up to the paths Of honour and useful
ness. Long will the poor remember her ST.

afflicted her soothing watchfulness hnd care
Long will the church of her adoption mourn
ever the loss of one of its brightest erna-

realm beyond the skies where no more pain
or sorrow can ever reach her.

parted to meet no more on earth But God

loved sisters death.
