tFor the JefersonIau.I
The funeral of Mrs Mary A. LaBar, whose
death was noticed in the JEFFERsoNIAN last
week, took place at the Hamilton Church, on
Tuesday the 9th inst. The services were
jointly conducted by the Rev. J. R. Focht, and
the Rev. w. II. Dinsmore. 1t was most high
y appropriate that the services should have
been in that old church, where the deceased
worshipped in her youth, and was born again
of the Holy Spirit, several years ago. A large
number of relatives, early associates and friends
from different places, were present. Being a
member ofthe Presbyterian Church of Strouds-
burg, at the time of her death, it devolved
upon the pastor of that Congregation to preach
the sermon. And all who were intimately
acquainted with the departed one, felt that the
text was especially appropriate: blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord" The speak
er testified to her joyful and earnest christian
life, during her two years sojourn in Strouds-
burg. BY her gifts, works and example, she
aided both Church and Sunday School to pro-
mote the Kingdom of God. The poor will
cherish in memory her kind words and gener-
GUS deeds for their comfort. May the grace OF
Jesus fill the riven heart of the bereaved hus-
band and afford the needed consolation to the
aged parents and other weeping friends.
On that beautiful hill, over looking most
charming landscapes. we buried the precious
dust to await the resurrection morning, when
Jesus will raise it up and fashion it, "like
unto His glorious body"

INDIAN RAID INTO MEXICO.

A Camp Grant (Arizona) letter to the San Diego
Union, under date of 2sth ult, says
The news has just reached here that Na-ta-za's
band, or at least the male portion, numbering
about two hundred, have lett the Chricahua reser-
walton for q raid into Chihuahua. This band or
Apaches formerly lived near Janas In Chihuahua,
and are noted for bad conduct. They came on to
the reservation last Fall and have since drawn
rations from the government except when they
have been awav raids In sonora and Chihuahua.
IL is now reported that q small band OF them made
a raid into chihuahua not long ago, when the
Mexicans got the best OF them and killed num-
Der, and that now the whole band, except i've or
six old men, nave gone TO make up for losses and
get revenge for the other failure. The treaty made
Dy General Howard with the Indians on this reser-
walton was such that General Crook has no right to
march troops over the reservation to examine tho
subject or TO prevent the wrong.
