OBITUARY..

Susan Grant was born August 9, lS48,
and died August II, 1875.
This good woman was united in mar
riage with Mr.. Perry Brown, January
%, 1872, and was kind and devoted
wife and mother.
She Joined the NJ. E. Church at Zion,
under the pastoral labors of the Rev. r.
w. Manley, in 1866, and lived consis-
tent christian life ever since, though for
the last few years she has not been able
TO attend church much. She leaves
three small children, her kind, though
now bereaved husband, mother. two sls-
tiers and two brothers, and many other
friends, to mourn for and miss her; but
they mourn not as those who have nc
hope, for she was prepared to die, being
resigned and willing to depart; though
for her little children's g sake she would
have loved to live. She was buried al

number at the funeral.

This climax in the way of wedding
notices appears in the Milford Conn.,
Ray: "The large blue eyes of the bride
seemed brighter than ever; and with her
light hair, formed suitable contrast to
her husbands extremely black hair and
eyes. This matrimonial alliance has
not been entered into unadvised-
ly; it has been in contemplation for
about two years, and meets with the
most cordial approval of all the rela-
tiyes and friends of the newly-married
couple. The brides mother regards
her new son-in-law as if he were her
own son. He will continue, as hereto.
fore, TO be employed in the vegetable
ivory button factory"

Our New Lexington friends are crest
fallen. They had fondly hoped that
Barnum would visit their town this sea.
son with his mammoth show. This
hope was inspired, no. doubt, by the
numerous calls of the Tribune for the
"boys" to save their nickels and shin.
plasters in anticipation of visit to N
Lexington, of the great "World's Fair, "
&c. But recent events show conclusively
that the Tribune "reckoned without its
host" that its assurances were ground
less and its advice to the "boys" gratui-
tOus. Barnum isn't going to New Lex
ington this season, and never intended
to go there. Somerset is the point Sc

manly agent, as the most fitting and elig.

There are some very old people in our
vlllag who iourished hereabout
when what is now our great State of
Ohio was indeed bowling wilderness,
and before and about the time it was
admitted as State. From the little
"clearings" and isolated cabins in the
lonely forest, they have seen the wilder
ness gradually disappear, and the rude
log-cabins giving place for more preten-
tious, if not more comfortable, houses,
urtil the general appearance of the
country is that of one which has been
largely occupied by civilized people fol
ages. How the marvellous change;
which have been wrought upon the sur
face of the country in the comparatively
short space Of seventy-6ve and eighty
years, must impress these old people ii
the autumn of their lives!
