she accomplished her first marriage
with James Pegg. A few years at
ter his decease, she married the
late Michael Weesner-she surviv-
ed him near four years. She was
in her eighty second year. Her re-
mains were inferred near this city,
where she had resided near sixty
years. She was life member. Of
the society of Friends.
It was the privilege of the writer
to have long acquaintance with the
deceased, and rarely knew Of one
more amiable in her department to
all who came in her society-kind
to all-and an open hand to the
poor and needy, often bestowing
aims that We're never heralded from
the housetop. The end of such
cannot but be peace, Joy, and eter-
nal bliss. w.

any one who expects the Car,iin-

eligible candidate for the Papal
chair.
