Died, at Newstead, the family residence, Cumber
land county, Va, on the 18th of September, Miss
MARY c.. FORD, in the 23d year of her age.
Seldom has the monster death laid his whitening
hand upon a more lovely object, and made more
perfect character his VICTIM than the subject of this
notice She was in the morning of life, OF cultivated
mind and manners amiable in disposition and moral
in conduct. As daughter she was dutiful, as a
sister affectionate, and as a friend sincere 10
these natural virtues were added the Christian
graces. She remembered her Creator in the days OF
her youth, and had been a member OF the Presbyte-
rian church for many years. AS such she was con-
sistent, exercising faith, love, hope, confidence,
meekness, humility, and adjoining the doctrine
which she protested by holy walk and conversation
For long time she had been confined to a room
of sickness and bed of languishing but bore 1t all
with the greatest patence and resignation to the Will
of God. As might have been expected, her depar
ture was tranquil and peaceful. Indeed, her death
was triumphant The brave man who has stood un'
moved before the canon's mouth, has been known
to quail in the presence of the King of terrors yet
this young and delicate woman did not dread MS
approach. Though walking through the valley OF
the shadow of death, she feared no evil For her
death had no sting and the grave no victory. Few
could have witnessed the closing scene without be-
ing convinced of the power of the gospel to sustain,
comfort and save, and thinking of heavens society
as embracing the young and beautiful, the world
nobility the excellent of the earth and the pure in
heart. None perhaps, could have been present and
failed to say" Blessed the dead that die in the
Lord ~ "Let me die the death of the righteous
