SO fast they follow
Scarce three months have elapsed since
the honorcd head Of this bcrcaycd family
was removed by death from their midst,
and now, with this heavy ollliction fresh
in their memoy-the wounds in their
hearts yet unhealed, q fond mother, and
loving sisters and brothers, have to mourn
the untimely face Of the pc. of the houses
hold-thoir youngest daughter and sister.
That the sympathy of the community is
deeply enlisted in behalf of the family.
which has been the subject Of two such
heavy oereavments in so short a time,
was amply testified by the unusually large
procession of the old and young Of both
sexes, which followed the remains of their
lost one to her last resting place. And as
q mark of the ailcctonate remembrance
IN which they held their departed friend,
sixteen of her young associates, all about
her own age, dressed in mourning. accom-.
panied the procession to the church and
thence to the grave.
The deceased had contracted severe
cold, while attending her late fathers fu-
neral, on a stormy day in January last
which fastening upon the pulmonary Or
gans, produced rapid decline, until
death claimed her as his victim Thus in
the early promise of her youth, when yisa
ions of earthly enjoyment, were beginning
to expand with brightest glow, her gentle
spirit was called to another and better
land while its earthly tenement is left to
mingle with the clods of the valley.
Her amiable disposition and kind heart
had made "Georgy" great favorite with
her acquaintances and Eany weeping
eyes gathered around her bier to take the
last sad farewell of her clly-cold form, ere
it was consigned to the bosom of mother
Earth. Her illness, although not acutely
painful, was protracted and severe yet
patience amid her suffering, and q cheer
ful resignation to the will of the great
Disposer of events, characterised her up to
the latest hour of her existence and when
the grim messenger came, she was neither
surprised nor unprepOred. In the hope
of a blessed Immortality, she sank peace,
fully into the arms OF death.

fully enjoyed by their defendants at the
present day, were known. How fast
they are going LAnd how seldom do those
among whom they have So long resided

demise! While in this instance, and

neglected at the proper time The
