Death Of Mn Esteemed Teacher al
Freedman's Village.
The subject of the following notice cut
from the Washington Chronicle is the
same as alluded to by our own correspon-
dent, @. L. R., in her last letter from that
city, wherein she says +" Cousin Abbie, Ia
boring zealously for the snlightment of the
freedmen, has grown SO pale and thin as to
seem more spirit than being of the
earth, earthly. The "Crown of Glory I"
laid up for such as these fear will press
upon her brow ere another Christmas
morn shall rise"
This sad realization of that fear will be
read with sorrow by many of our brave
soldiers who learned to honor and love
her for her many christian graces display
ed towards them whilst suffering in the
hospitals in Washington and Annapolis.
The death of Miss Able Louis Hall, of
Springfield, VT, and for some time past
teacher in the schools at Freedmen's Viii
lage, will carry sadness to many hearts
She died on the 10th instant, in the tWen-
ty-third year Of her age.
, Less than a year ago she left her North
ern home in all the bloom of youth and
health, on q visit to her relatives in this
city. Naturally energetic, distinguished
by mental and physical activity and
eminently social in her feelings and habits
she derived great enjoyment from the
society of her friends and from the varied
and interesting scenes in which she was
permitted for the first time in her life to
mingle. But she could not feel it right
to live merely for her own enjoyment, and
after looking in various directions for a
position of usefulness, she offered her SER
vices as q teacher in the schools above
mentioned, where she devoted herself
with all the energy and earnestness that
belonged to her character, to the improve
ment and elevation of those members of
q long-oppressed race who were placed
under her charge. A brief experience
was sufficient to convince the snperin-
tendent of her eminent adaptation for the
situation she had assumed, and to win for
her the cordial affection of all her COLA
borers in the same benevolent and self
denying work. III
But while long career of usefulness
seemed opening before her, and the con-
sciousness that she was blessing to others
sustained her amidst her labors and trials,
it pleased her Heavenly Father to cut
short her work and take her to her re-
ward. Her sickness was brief, and be-
fore any emminent danger was apprehend-
cd she had sunk into stupor from which
she could not be reused, and which ere |
long terminated in death.
Her remains have been conveyed to
her native village, and now rest in the
beautiful cemetery. Her pure, self-sacri-
ficing life, though short, is full of sweet
and blessed memories to the hearts 80 sad
