Last Thursday we were called to pay
a last tribute of respect to the memory
of Miss Fannie NJ. Armstrong. daughter
Of Thomas Armstrong, of this town,
who died in Burlington the 25th inst,
of typhoid fever She was of an anna
bic disposition. and beloved by all who
knew her Until within a few hours of
her death, hopes were entertained of her
recovery, and word was sent to the
anxious ones at home that she was bet
ter; but alas how little we can tell
what day-an houT-may bring forth.
For, following close upon the letter
came a fash over the wires telling that
she was dead. So sudden, so uneXpect-
ed. by the loving ones at home, it fell
with ten-fold weight on all, carrying
sorrow and mourning into a house where
short time before was JOY and glad
ness. The afflicted family have the
heartfelt sympathy of friends and neigh
borS, in this their deep affection. But
while they mourn her loss, they are
cheered by the thought that she is at
rest, and has gone to dwell with the
Holy ones above A short time before
her death she experienced q change OF
heart and gladly gave herself up to Jesus
and in her last moments was calm and
resigned to His divine will.
The strawberry festival came off
according to programme last Wednes-
day. The afternoon was a sort of pic
mic for the members of the Sabbath

by the Younger portion of them, who
r0amed the grove to their hearts con-
tent, and feasted on the good things
which were beautifully spread before
them. In the evening the hall was filled
with old and young, and after few ap-
propriatc remaTs from Rev. Mr.. Pickett.
strawberries, ice-cream, cake, etc, were
served to all, and the committee are hap
by to state that the receipts were fully
more than they at first anticipated.

The next move in the right direc
ton will be change in the route of the
