Obituaries.

Died. at Lexington, Ca, August 1st. Mrs. MARY
A. E. PLATT, wife of George F. Plat, Esq.
Died, at her residence in Marshall county, Miss,
July 10th, 1869, Mrs SUSAN, wife of DR.. j. Mont
gomery and daughter of j. d. and n. B. Mathews.
Died, on the oath of July. at 'Belle Air" Roam
oke county, Virginia, Mrs. ENELIYE CAPEHART, wife
of the late James Capehart, Of Point Pleasant,
West Va.
Mrs. Capehart was IS years old at her death. She
had suffered for years with Dyspepsia, yet her last
illness was only of weeks duration. When she
left few months ago to visit her friends IN the
Valley, we knew that "the silver cord'' was weak,
but none of us thought it would be loosed so soon.
But "GoGs ways are past finding out" Yet we
sorrow not even others who have no hope; tor.
when the Bridegroom came, He found her ready. .
With her lamp trimmed and burning, she entered
the dark valley peacefully, cheertully. The
'rod and the STAFF of the Shepherd, they comforted
her. She had been member of the Presbyterian
Church for many years-a consistent, devoted, hbe-
raj member; though in recent years she was often
kept from church by illness. Her pastor found her
ready to help in "every good work." and, again
and again did she cheer him in times OF despon-
deney. But few months have elapsed since the
church was stricken by the loss of her husband-a
faithful elder "They were lovely and pleasant in
their lives, and in their death they were not Cong)
divided" True. the great mountain stands between
their mortal bodies; and different rivers make music
past their graves but these rivers mingle IN com
mon ocean, aud this mountain does not rise to Heav
en- to separate their happy spirits. b.
