In Swanton, Oct. Il, after a short and painful

About five years ago, cur friend, Charles W.
Iac Esl, brought from *o.hester. y. Y, &C. his
wea appointed home in s%yanton, a young bride,
radiant with health and beauty, who, by her
varied accomplishments and winning manners, in
time, became the attractive object of much inter
est and affection in the circles which she was so
well fitted to please aud adorn. In the fulfill
ment ofaIl her duties as a fond and thoughtful
wife and mother, in the discharge Of her sacred OBJ
legations as a protesting Christian, ard q 4ospita-
bic member Of society, her cultivated taste. her
artistic genius, love of home and friends, ana fond
ness for natural beauty shone forth conspicuous
ly-qualitics and habits which an active mind and
robust health enabled her constantly to exerci c
for the adornment Of her home and the ever in
creasing delight of her friends. Until recently
this lady had the prospect Of continuing FOR many
years to b. the JOY and delight Of happy house
hold and the pride and ornament of cur society;
but tho DEGREES of the All-wise Disposer of Events
had ordered it otherwise. The sad record given
above, announces the loss by death, of this esti-
mable lady, who was ready for the summons after
passing through an ordeal Of unspeakable suffer
ing, and whose departure from this word of timing
Ted glae and gloom will occasion untold and cease
less sorrow aud carry grief to the hearts of her
many acquaintlaces and friends.
In the beautiful drama Of Ion" tho instinct Of
Immortality, so eloquontIy uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds a deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young
existence as a sacrifice TO fate, his beloved Gle
mantle ask if they shall meet again, to which he
replies II have asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal--of the clear streams
that a,u fore ver-of the star. a,,oo- rboso e.,d.
Of azure my raised spirit hath walked in glory
All were dumb. But while I gaze upon thy Hy-
ing face, I feel, I feel that there Is something in
the love that NANTES through its beauty that can
not wholly perish. We SHALL meet again, CI--
