OBITUARY.-Nrs. Joseph Ebersol, Of Grand

BY US two weeks ago IS having fallen and broken
her limb, has since died She expired Feb. Goth,
apparently suffering NO acute pain. and in the
full possession of all her sensee, and surrounded
by her family. She belongs to the oldest settlers
in La Sale county, and was known by all the
older residents. She was remarkable for her
hospitality to all, and her kind, neighborly quail.
tiles. She was eve: ready to help all around her,
and always being in comfortable circumstances,
was able to be liberal. and reioiced in nothing
more than in deeds Of love and generosity. She
was married to Mr.. Joseph Ebersol when s2
years old, in Dauphiu county, Pennsylvania, and
came to this county in 1884, settling upon the
place where she has ever since resided, and
where she died. She was woman not only OF
superior physical organization. bat of high men
tai and moral qualities, and while she courageous
ly braved the dangers of frontior life, snd con.
tended with wild beasts and Indians, priaris
fires and sgue, making successful battle against
them all, she lived to see her beautiful home
surrounded by choice fruit trees and flowers, and
nsstne-s and elegance abounding on every side,
largely the result of her owa hsndiwork. Her
children, too, have grown up to be well educated
people, enjoying the esteem and confidence Of
their neghbors. She died with the happy con.
sciousness of having led q busy, useful life, and
having from her youth up been sincere and
consisteu: christian, her friends have the pre-.
cious consolation of knowing that with her to
die was gain.

No. SEvENTEEN.-There has been much con.
fusion at the popular store on Main street bear
ing the above number, all week. New goods
have been coming in by the Wholesale. Boxes,
bales, bundles, hogsheads and barrels have been
left upon the sidewalk in front OF tho store, and
men and boys have been kept busy unpaeking
and piling up goods, until shelves, counters and
every nook and corner have been filled with
goods.
Messrs Burke Il Hesuan are now fairly pre-
pared for the spring campaign. They have
bought heavily, and now have the best lot Of
goods, Us we'll as to assortment, as to style and
quality of goods, ever seen here. The dress
goods and cotton materials we're purchased from
first hands, and consequently were obtained at
the manufacturers Wholesale prices. They buy
largely that they can avail themselves of these
advantageous figures, thus saving the innumer-
able charges. commissions, &C., always added
when goods come through jobbing houses. They
consequently sell these goods at small advance
upon the manufacturers rates. and much lower
than small retail stores can possibly afford.
These goods are not only of the best brands,
but of the latest styles and newest patterns, and
especially selected for their Ottawa trade.
