her calling and profession. Her piety
was uniform, consistent and deep. Siren.
ious in her rules Of piety, family and
household discipline, yet kind to her
neighbors aud ever ready and willing to
extend a helping hand to the poor and
needy. A mother to the orphan, a good
counselor to the youug,and a kind and af>
fectionate wife, she was beloved by all
and especially by the members Of Sui,
phur Spring Grange, of which she was a
member, But a just God in his wisdom
saw fit to afaict, and her last years were
of much painful suffering, especially the
last eight or nine months. She was first
attacked with Pneumonia then Bronchitis.
and finally Consumption. Her suffering
was very great at times, but she was suS,
tanned by Divine grace and in her last
weeks Of affection she bore them with
Christian fortitude and calm resignation.
Death and the grave had no terror for
her. She knew the kind Saviour in whom
she had trusted would be her guide. Her
uniform testimony was, the Saviour is
precious to me, | am ready and willing to
Co." Rapturous joy and e%xultuut shouts
marked many of her last days. Talking
with all who visited with a calm and
heavenly peace that left no doubt of her
peace with God. He oft repeated prayer
was Lord Jesus take me from this suffering
if thy will, but o Lord, not my will, but
thine be done, help me to bear all suffer-
ing for the sake of Him who suffered for
all. When death struck her she told
those around, | am dying, lay Inc down.
Told her husband to take her hand, as
he did so she said, / am going home to
rest where there is no sorrow or suffering
and to dwell with those who have gone
before, | want you to meet me there
Then she said, Jesus take me home, com
menced clapping her hands and shouting
glory glory until it died into inarticu!ation.
And thus about | o'clock p. NJ, 9TH Of
November, 1874, she passed away. Her
end was full of peace, hope and heavenly
comfort t, her surviving husband, rela,
tives and friends who stood around that
death he'd. She has left a sad and lonely
husband without children, brothsrs, sis
tiers or parents TO cheer his once peaceful
and happy but now d%esolato home, but
may he and all her sad friends look to
Him who was hes sweetest portion and
may We all like her, resign themselves to
His will in all things feeling that our loss
is her eternal gain.
She died at her Brother-in.law, MI.
Poudcr's, near johnson City, where she
had been taken in a conyalescent stage of
her disease, and relapscd and was never
able to return to her home. Therefore
but,fcw Of tie members of this Grange
could attend her funeral for she was our
chartered Ceres. Therefor re we tender
this Obituary as a mark of respect to
our departed worthy Sister.

States and Territories in a group, from
surveys to 1875, with q million places
on it, such as towns, cities, villages
mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, gold

A New Years Present.

A New Years Present.
T. About the time the old year was
breathing its last, and the Hew one
making its appearance, the citizens of the
quiet village of Fall Branch, were con-
Siderably excited by seeing lights passing
rapidly from room to room at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. r, NJ. Hopper. As a mes
sengcr issued from the house, the villagers
could hear the warning given, ''hurry for
the Doctor" Mr.. Hopper's neighbors
could not imagine the cause of such ex-
element at his house, as they had had no
warning ofanticipated trouble. But in
the morning the mystery was explained
by hearing Richard repeating the follows
ing dirge.
Bing out the old, ril.g in the new
Ring in the nurse with water.
We have a baby upon my soul,
A. daughter ! Alovely daughter.

Shooting ARRAY.

On Christmas day, Peter Mccoy, of
Flag Pond, was shot by Logan Briggs,
one ball passing through the chest and
another in the side. We understand that
Briggs was jusiifable in doing the shoots
ing, as it was done in self. defence. No
Coy was following him with a knife in
his hand and was making efforts tosuse it
on Briggs. At last account, Mccoy was
convalescent, and it was thought by his
neiglbors that he would recover.
