1868, but afterwards connected herself with the
Baptist Church. the denomination to which her
husband belonged. She lived the pure life of
true Christian, and when the death summons
came was prepared to obey.
Her disease was rheumatism of the heart, and
for more than week she was convinced that
she would never recover and with perfect
calmness awaited the end, notwithstanding the
expressed hopes of her relatives that she would
recover.
Her whole family were with her in her last
moments, and just before she died she called
her husband father mother and sisters TO her
bedside and kissing them, babe each an ahfec-
tomato farewell, then, with smile on her face,
calmly said she was going and almost instantly
ceased to breathe, without one single struggle.

are scarcely ever witnessed while at the same

On last Sunday morning, in cambridge, Jos.
ii. Hynds stabbed John Moore with pocket
knife, striking himin the left side two or three
inches below the heart and inAicting on him an
ugly and bloody wound. Mr.. Moore was much
protected by the thick clothing he had on, and
the knife struck rib, so that no fatal or any
dangerous results are anticipated,
The difficulty started over trivial matter,
and was brought on by the parties denouncing
each other; bat the affray itself lasted only n
moment, and tho stabbing was sudden and un-
expected, Mr.. Hynds is the proprietor Of n
grocery here, and Mr. Moore is n clerk in the
store of Fain O. Moore, Both parties were
sober.
