that Mrs. Mary Mooney, wife of Mr.. V.
a. Mooney. OF this place. died very sud
denly on Monday last. She appeared to
be in her usual health on that day, and
made visit to one of her neighbors,
with the family Of whom she was con-
versing, when she was seized with con-
vulsion, and expired in two or three
hours alter, remaining perfectly nncon-
scious from the first moment OF the at-
tack. Mrs. Mooney was held in very
high esteem by those who knew her, and
her unexpected death has sent pang of
grief into the hearts of many of our peo-
ple.- Greenpi!lc Mountaineer.

tnder-C!othing for Cold Weather.

HAVE written or this subject before,
but there seems to be need of urecept
upon precept, OF late | have been learn
ing better ways than ! knew before.
For children OF three years and over
there is nothing better, perhaps, than an
under garment clothing the body from
the neck and wrists to the heels, much
like the night-drawers children wear.
They may be made with Il plain, easy,
high necked waist, with long, straight
sleeves, and with open drawers sewel to
the waist. The drawers ehuuld be rather
full at the top, but small enough at the
lower part Of the lee to go inside the
stocking, reaching to the heel, or leaving
no gap above the shoe. doctors dis.
agree about the material of this under.
garment, some ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
some cotton. Taking into account the diff
ticulty Of washing wooden without shrink
lngit, and the disagreeable sensation many
skins experience in wearing it, probably
the best way in most cases is to have this
u-ndcr-garmcnt made either Of cotton
flannel or of thin c0tton.cloth, with q
similar garment OF warm wooden material
over il, Buttons ut the waist support
the other under clothing.
There are many sensible ladies in
these United States now wearing under
garments similar to those Just describedf
Among them the preference is usually
given TO thin cotton material for the Suit
next the body, with a suit made of wooden
(white flannel, gray ladies'cloth, or red
hrcmen's-ilannel in the same fashion
worn over the cotton suit in winter
weather. With two such wooden suits for
frequent changes, 70 give opportunity for
thorough airing and summing OF the wool.
ems, they require very little washing. The
cotton next the body takes up the per.
splration, etc, and this gets the good
weekly washing, The wooden suit when
taken of weekly for n change need only
be exposed for a day or two TO purity It
properly, washing it only when it yisibly
requires il.
If men wear cotton under their wooden
shirts, the WOODEN may be treated in the
same way, and men who are not engaged
IN dirty work can wear their wooden
shirts all winter with very little washing,
purifying them Ivy air and sunshine each
week when changes are made. Ladies'.
cloth shirts shrink less than common

for mourners, or, as it was more correctly
and elegantly express cd, IAN invitation
TO such as desired All interest in the pray
ers of those present from a conviction
that they were Sinners Then came a
recess for the midday meal, and after
this there was preaching again at two p.
IN. There were prayers at the stand and
mourners called forward again, after
which there was usually an adjournment
to the open part of the ground, and q
grand prayer meeting organized in 1.-THE
ring" The ring-meeting was formed in
this way If there were many mourners
at the altar, as it was called-that IL, two
or three designated benches in front Of
the pulpit-some one in authority wonld
order a removal, on which some active
fellows would shoulder a few benches
and carry them TO the square, and
have the n placed in a convenient manner
and ready for the mourners to kneel by
or sit upon. Before these were removed,
but in an incredibly short time, enough
stout young men would join hands around
the benches to form "a compact Enclosure.
These again were Enclosed by an outer
ring of those who were the first to spring
to the place, that they might have a full
view of the proceedings; for it was N.
derstood that the circle was not to be en-
tered, except by the mourners and those
who were to talk and pray with them.
The young people of the country were
generally good singers, and knew the
hymns and tunes mostly in use, and the
numbers who would join in the singing
would now be surprising. Two r~esolute
ones of the living wall of this ring wonld
be designated as BIT once ~doorposts and
.doorkeepers, who, at their discretion, ad.
mitted per sons within the enclosure. The
mourners were then brought On, and, en-.
tering, kneeled at the benches, while a
brother of leading voice would start
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy" or
some similar song, in which every availa-
BILE voice would join, o a brick Of the
wall of this tabernacle keeping silence,
Then followed a prayer, then a song, and
then prayer, and at last a steady stream
of song and s~upplication, running togcth-
er like the parts of a Jngpe, h~armonizing
in spite of all acknowledgement Naga.
