D I E D,

AT Baltimore, on the 3D. of October. Mrs
Maria Farrow, wife of the Rev. Joseph Farrow.
This brief announcement is fraught with
heavy sorrow to many stricken hearts, while
1t records the entrance of one of Gods children
into her everlasting rest.
She tor whom we mourn, (yet not as they
who sorrow without hope,) was the child OF
one of the earliest ministers of the Methodis,
Episcopal Church, the Rev. John Durborow, OF
Delaware. AT a very carly age she was made
child OF God, by the renewing power of the
Holy Ghost, and when not over sixteen wears
old became a member of the NJ. E. Church in
Kent county, Delaware. For more than forty
years has she continued faithful to her early
vows, and held on her way of faith and love in
Christ Jesus.
In her seventeenth year she was united in
marriage to the late George Cummins Esq, of
Delaware, and three children from this union
survive her,-one of these a minister of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. In 1888 she was
married again TO the Rev. Joseph Farrow, and
removed, at the same time, to Baltimore. Six
l.
twenty-five years she has been a resident OF
Baltimore, where she was known and loved by
wide circle of friends. Among these were
many of the children of poverty and distress.
who ever found in her a sympathizing friend
and helper. Her hand was always open to the
servants of Christ-whom she delighted to hon
or and serve. She was diligent in all her
duties as a member of the Church of Christ
and though unobtrusive in her pious walk, vet
she enjoyed no little of the peace and consola-
tiOns of the believer in Jesus. Her last days
were iuIl of christian hope and triumph. God
was pleased to allot to her most severe suffer.
ngs, but amidst them all He was present to up.
hold and comfort her.
Calling one of her children TO her side, she
said, 4" l am in the deep waters, am l not o.
" Yes" was the reply, dear mother" "But
am not afraid" she added " His rod and His
staff, they comfort me-" The promise was re-
peated to her" When thou walkest through
the waters, will be with thee, and when thou
passest through the flames, they shall not kindle
upon thee" To which she replied" Glory
be to God for such stronghold of hope -
Soon after, she added, " 1t is not far across and
Jesus is just on the other side, and the waters
will not be rough" For twenty four hours did
she struggle with the last enemy, and then fell
asleep in Jesus so gently that we knew not the
moment of the spirits departure. God gave
to His beloved sleep.
She has lived to obtain the crowning bless
ing of q parents life-the salvation of her chill
dren, nearly all of whom are pressing forward
to meet her in the kingdom of God.
Died, in Philadelphia, on the 18th inst Mrs.
Isabella Collne, in the 22d year of her age.
On the 10th inst, near Kenton, James Eng
lish, aged 81 years months and IL days.
In this town, on the 10Th instant, Charles

lost nearly all his tools, valued at one hundred
dollars. The building was worth between one

work of an incendiary. for in no other way can
the FIRE be accounted for. In view of the fire.
