OBITUARY.

Mrs. SARAH A. SCOTT. beloved wife of DR..
H. R. Scorr. whose sudden death in this village,
on Ash Wednesday last, has been noticed in the
Times, was in her 50th year.
She was the true wife and loving mother in
their highest type of excellence. She humbly
and earnestly tried to please her Maker and to
train up her children to love God. She lived
for her family. She seldom left her home, feel
ing that-her heart and duty were there. she
instructed her children in their duty to God and
their fellow eatures, and, although afflicted
with deafness too great to hear in the house of
God, she always sent her children to Church,
her heart following and her prayers ascending
a throne of Grace for them. She endeavored to
deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before
God. 1t is hoped that she has passed from a
world Of sorrow to 4 world of bIissful peace and
eter nal love.

~A Archbishop Spalding preached in
Baltimore last Sunday, an eloquent SER
mon on the extravaganza and excuses Of
the times-and on the growing vices and
immoralities which are prevailing in our
cities. and he concluded by referring to
what was far worse. .'an abomination
leading to the depopulation and desolation
Of the land ); to excuses worse than the
murder of the innocents by Herod, be-
cause committed not so much through
sudden passion or the motive of cruel am
bition, but with deliberately wicked pur-
pose; a practice worse. probably, than
any ever generally adopted even among
heathens. but which, nevertheless. was
becoming frightfully common in this en-
ightened age and country"
