Died-On the qtb Ana o,.ho ,;I

Dled-On the 9th Aug, at the residence of her son-in-law, Col. Maurice Smith Tulin Dallas county, Ark, after a lingering illness of many months, Mrs. KEzIAR REID, in the 9lst year of her age.
 She was born in Caswell county, North Car ohna whther her parents, Col. Richard and wary Simpson, emigrated from Virginia at the oafiy setting of that country. At the age of h''eeh she emigrated to Kentucky, with her brother-ln-law, Col. Nat Hart and his family. They witnessed many of the difficulties of the pioneers Tn that region--often she spoke of thelr conflicting scenes with the savage Indians -of tent and fort life with Col Boone etc- A short time after her removal to Kenteckv she was married to Mir. Wm B. Buchanan. who was killed soon after as the Captain of party in an attempt to rescue two white chil- dren whom the Indians had captured
 Thus left bereaved young widow in the western wilderness, she preferred to return to her native place in Carolina, where some time after she was married to Major John Reid, an officer in the revolutionary war. The writer has often heard her speak most famliarly of these "scenes and times that tried men's souls !" Her husband was sharer in the battles of Kings Mountain, Guilfort Court House, and other important conflicts, side by side with Cleveland, Shelby and Campbell. Mrs. Reid well deserves chapter in "The Heroines of the Revolution" From North Carolina she emigrated to the Western District of Tennessee in the year 1841, and thence to Arkansas in l847, following her beloved children in their westward migration. In 1882 she united her. self with the people of God in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and evinced her faith by Godly walk and conversation, ever "min- lsterrg to the necessity of saints" attending punctually and regularly the house and ordn- ances of God-submissive to her Fathers af- tiictive rod-which chastened her spirit and sweetened all her graces; and thus prepared her for the heavenly inheritance.
 For the last five years she was too feeble to attend the sanctuary; but she sought and found frequent opportunities to converse with minis ters of the gospel and often refreshed and cheer ed them. by her patient resignation and her strong faith and hope Entirely confined to her room for the last year of her earthly pill grlmage, she seems to have set her house in or der, and calmly waited her masters summons home. So she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, and now rests from her labors. Truly mother In Israel'' has fallen--rather risen to glorv!- May we initiate her virtues and follow her example until we too shall pass away. !" The time is short.' "The son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not" We too must soon "shuffle off this mortal coil"

 '' Dear little sufferer with thee fall
 Our fond hearts dearest schemes;
 Thou vast the centre of them all
 Bright transitory dreams
 Dreams unsubstantial the light
 That points the evening cloud,
 That taketh while it charms the sight
 The sembance of shroud." W.
