DIED in Alexandria on Friday Oct
1, 1869, HENRY HOWELL PARKER,
aged 80 years. 5a@aa.4 "a FIlqs ss
The deceased was native of Plain
field, Sullivan County, New Hampshire
and moved to Rapides in 1852 where
he has resided ever since, for the most
of which time he was engaged in active
business. There was vein, of sterling
worth running through Henry Parker,
which should forever palliate his weak
nesses, and we are sure, all are now
ready to forgive him and drop tear
over his new made grave. He was a
"good fellow" good citizen, and what
now should cover all faults good Con-
federate soldier! His death was sud
den. Poor Henry! Peace to his ashes.
AT Plaisance, on the 3Oth day of
September, 1869, Miss EMMA VII
LAIN, daughter of N. Villain, in the
Both year of her age. it
We may say of her that she had con-
stantly the fear of God before her and
His love in her heart. Since the dawn
of reason, she delighted in serving her
Creator, and exerted to become wof-
thy of that happy band of virgins who,
in Heaven, form the train of the Di-
vine Lamb and follow Him whithsoev-
er He goes. ftr rp
Long and painful sufferings have, DIS
so many sharp thorns, strewed her
way to the marriage feast of her chosen
spouse. She bore them with fortitude
and resignation even more-she for
got her personal affiiction to bestow,
to the last, on her blind father all the
attentions a loving daughter could
give. She smiled on death when it
approached, and, self-conscious; to the
last, waited confidently for it. This
only she dreaded-the severity of the
blow on her, cherished father; but sat
isfied with his assurance he submitted,
for his God, to the sacrifice, she quiet
~ expired, with all the consultations
religion can afford and the hopes it Of
fers to the christian soul. We s,ncere-
ly sympathize with her afflicted father
and relatives in the great loss they
have sustained. A FRIEND.
lin this town, on the 4th inst. lat 10
o'clock P. NJ, Mrs. ANNA ELIZA
KNOLL, wife of Francis Victor MUIR
ply, in the 18th year of her age, and
having been married scarcely one short
year.
This fine young wife has left to
mourn her untimely death devoted
young husband, an affectionate moth
er, brothers, sisters and a large circle
of kind friends. M
1t is seldom we are called upon to
record the severance of SO young
married couple by the hand of death.
We sympathize with the bereaved
friends, particularly with our young
friend FRANK, whose fond hopes of
long and happy life with one whom he
so dearly loved, have been SO suddenly
blasted.
But she died in the faith of her Re-
deemer-in full communion with the
Catholic Church. Let us then, while
we mourn, console ourselves that "our
loss is her eternal gain" L.
DIEp.-ou the 18th Of August, at

State Of Texas, Of Congestive Chill,

81. G. Hu1E-Dedr Brother-Find-
ing by your letter to me that you had
got back to Alexandria, I hasten to
inform you OF. the death of Ma. It
vas sad thing with us. She died
on the 18th Of August. Her health
had been very bad ever since you
left. She had all the medical aid
within reach. She talked a great
deal about you, all after you left. It
seemed to worry her greatly that her
family were SO widely separated.
