OBITUARY..

Fell asleep in Jesus on the morning oil Dec'
2sth 1875, at Delhi, La, Miss. SARAH LEI
TIE OWN, only daughter Of Mrs. NJ l.
Cleland.
The removal of one so interesting and so
much beloved has brought deep sorrow INTO
large circle of relations and friends. she
was endowed with those qualities oil mihd
and heart that won for her the admiration
and love of all who knew her. Remarkably
cheerful in disposition, social in her feelings
with a mind cultivated and refined, she was
the centre of attraction in every circle tha'
she entered. >. r.
She had been early taught the discipline OF
sorrow. 1t pleased God while she was YET
a child to affiict her with Painfuf ana
lingering disease, the effects OF which re-
manned to the day of her death. For many
wears of her life she was constant sufferer.
Nor was the effect of this severe discipline
los, upon her. She early made a profession
of her faith in Christ, and that profession she
adorned by life Of active usefulness IN .he
promotion of the Redeencrs kingdom. She
was ready to every good work. Possessed Oh
fine talent for music, she led the devotions
of the Sanctuary in the service Of song. She
was an earnest worker in the Sabbath school
We can not doubt that the sweet voice which
} 10 often charmed us by its melody is now EN-
: ployed in the praises of the Sanctuary above
Her last illness was protracted and painful
. during all of which she exhibited remarkable
fortitude and patience, With unusual calm
ness and .elfpossesSion, she prepared to NEE
the King of ,errors. She knew in whom sh
a had believed, and, as she expressed herself
she fel, that she could trust her Saviour to tn
8 end. And with this feeling IF confidence II
= Jesus, she went down into the dark valley :,
How strange are the methods OF God

How uusearcliable are His judgments an

The San Francisco fruit dealers have
Invented new refrigerator car, which
will bring the magnificent California
grapes, pears, ETC., in good order to the
Eastern States. The Examiner says oil
the experiment:
The car will carry 10000 pounds of
Toksy, Muscat, Rose OF Peru and Yer
del grapes, which are expected to reach
their destination in five days, and in
better order than any ever before
shipped from this State. The car is pro.
vided with fan blower, driven by one
of the car axles, by means of WHICH the
air is driven through the ice, which re-
duceS it to low temperature, and is
then distributed among the fruit boxes
through large perforated pipe laid
along the bottom OF the car. After the
cool air has passed among the fruit, it
returns to the blower, and is again forced
through the apparatus. By this means
the atmosphere of the interior of the
car is kept at uniform temperature o.
40 degrees Fahrenheit.

How 10 Run n Railway Train at the
Rate of a Mile q Minute.

hANG VI ~ ~
Danbufy News.
A Danbury man is confident that in
time passenger trains will be run at the
rate of mile minute. He is evolving
a plan for taking on passengers without
stopping the train, and thus save this
time in running. He thinks a rack
formed Of scoop made of netting, with
back to it, and horizontal bar 10
inches below, will do it. This is TO be
attached to the car and worked on
powerful hinge. He was in MerrilTs
grocery with o rough model ofhis machine
last evening, explaining its working to
an interested auditory. His idea is to
have the passengers stand in line on
the station platform, with their backs to
the approaching train, and near enough
to where it will pass to bring them
within range of the scoop. On the ap-
proach of the rack the horizontal bar
strikes the expeetant passenger in the
hollow back of the knees, which causes
him to lop backwards, when he is caught
in the scoop and whirled into the car,
and the next rack back takes the next
forward passenger, and so on until all
are taken up.
