DEATH on Mrcc E,r,t. Doo,

DEATH OF Miss EMMA RosALII
GonwIN.-We to-day announce witt
regret the death of one of Milford's
brightest ornaments-MIss EMMA Ro
SALE GoDwIN-whose demise occurr
ed at the residence of her father, Dan
iel @, Goodwin, jr., on Thursday last
29th of January.
Truly has it been said that " Death
loves shining mark" and that the
good and beautiful die young.
EMMA possessed all those noble
qualities of the head and heart which
go to form the character of noble
woman; and her tender SUSCEPTIBLE
ties and kindness of disposition ena-
bled her to win and retain the love
and friendship Of all her associates and
acquaintanees.
The presence of death is always
painful, but when it falls on one just
budding into wcmanhood, with pros
poets bright and happy before her,
surrounded by kind friends, and every
thing that the heart can desire or
means supply, it is doubly appalling.
Yet We should not murmur. IT'S the
will of Him who does all things for the
best, and sooner or later all will obey
its call.
The pride of the household is gone
but to the spirit land, where sics-
ness and sorrow are felt and feared
no more. Peace to her ashes

A few years ago there were two ROSY

ing around lIer-.a corpse. Miss EMMA RosA.
LIE GoDwl0, daughter Of Daniel G. Goodwin.
Esq., Of Milford, is dead. We, who knew her,
and loved her, can scarcely realize the fact
II is strange, passing strange, that her sweet
toned voice will never again be heard in the
village ohoir-her gentle, child-like simplicity
never more admired save in the reoosses OF
our mcmory--her bright eye never again re.
cgnized in the sabbath h-school--northe social
circle never again enlivened by the tones of
her musical voice. II is natural that we
should mourn departed relatives and our int-
mate friends, but EMMA had not an acquaint-
ance who does not dropa tear ut herapparent-
ly untimcly death, The unaffected simplicity
OF her character, her unassuming disposition,
the purity and gentleness other spirit and her
personal and mental accomplishments drew
sround her circls of warm, devoted friends,
such as few are favored with.

some women, who were sitting up to

They fled in dismay, and the neigh

matter, proposed to have the coffin
opened; but the huspand of the women
would not hear of such thing, ps it
would be, he said, a proclamation of the

with a hatchet, and it then turned out

" Procided .4lUays, If at the time OF the
appraisment of any of said lands, the same
shall be occupied by an actual settler VINO
shall have made improvements thereon, then
the same shall be apr ased at the actual val
ne of what the same would have been worth
provided the same had not been so occupied,
and exclusive of such improvements anu ho
person shall have the right TO the possession
of any such lands until the value OF such I'M
provements shall have been paid, or rendered
to the owner thereof and IN all cases II the
owner of such improvements shall re willing
to pay said appraised value, then and in that
case he shall have priority OF right to the
same"
MIR. COGGSwELL supported this pro-
vision ON the ground, that settlers were a
mart of the wealth of the State : that many
did not know they settled upon school lands;
and that their occupation gave to the land
additional value-the fruit of their labor, OF
which he was unwilling to deprive them.
Mr.. C ALBRAlTH and others opposed IT !;
and the yeas and nays being had thereon, the
amendment was rejected-yeas Z, NAYS so.
Mr.. ALDRICH then proposed the fol-
lowing:

or insane, shall always be fostered and sus-
tanned"
Mr.. BILLINGS proposed to strike out the
word sustained" aud add-'the Legisla-
ture shall encourage the promotion of intel
lectual, scientific and agricultural improve
ments, and, as soon possible, provide for the
establishment of an agricultural school. and
t1,o of
Regents of the University
Both propos tons were rejected.
Mr.. ALDRICH then proposed the follow
ing:
See |. The Legislature shall encourage
the promotion of intellectual, scientific, and
agricultural improvements, and shall as soon
as practicable provide for the establishment
of an Agricultural School. The Legislature
my appropriate all salt springs, with the six
sections of land adjoining or contiguous
thereto to which The State, on admission to
the Union shall be entitled according to the
provisions of the Act Of Congress, entitled

school. and NAV make the same branch OF

This amendment was also rejected.
