Mrs. Catbarine Gillespie (aee Nc
Pherson) died at the residence of her
brother, Mr.. John Mcpherson, on the
morning Of Wednesday, the ninth
inst. For many weeks she suffered
from the effects of fall upon the ice,
and when convaleseent was attacked
Terminated fatally. Her death, al
was not altogether unexpected d by her
relatives who were apprised of the
weak state of her body she having been
long sufferer. She often expressed a
desire that at death she woulI be esti-
mated in accordance with her acts and
department while in life, and also q
determination to live in such a way as
would merit the appreciation of Chris
tian people. She held to the faith of
the "Campbellite Baptist Church" A
quiet citizen, kind neighbor, with a
ready hand in hours of sickness and
sorrow, she had many friends, both at
her old home in Flushing and else
where. To her brothers, sisters and
relatives sympathy is accorded, and
the wish expressed that they may re-
teive return of that comfort in their
sorrow which they were always SO
ready to bestow hen others bowed
beneath the rod. The following lines
have been selected by her sister:
''Link by Link the chain is riven
Z That binds US to the earthly shore,
Treasures lay we up in heaven,
To see them here, ah never more.
One by one death bids them go,
The fairest of our happy homes,
With icy fingers lays them low,
Beckons to us and bids them come"
Mrs. Anderson, widow of the late
Wm. Anderson, died on Thursday, the
10th inSt., at one and half O'Clock P.
NJ. For several years she had been de-
prived of sight yet bore her aff1ictioD
with patience and even with cheerful
ness Some two weeks since she was
Frustrated by paralysis which speedily
terminated her life. Her record is in
the hearts OF all who knew her and to
the bereaved ones the sympathy of the
community is extended. We will not
write more concerning her as others
will fulfill the same in more accept
able manner.

on the seashore. Such beautiful sea

Arthur, of Round Table fame, fought
and killed the dragon. St. Ethan, one
of the old saints of the Bretons, was an
Irish Prince. He was welded to Priu-
cess more beautiful than the day, and
whom he loved with all his heart, But
he resolved TO give her up and to cross
the sea with his disciples to preach the
gospel to tho Armorican pagaus. St
Efilam built himself a hermitage on the
seashore of st. Michel and occupied him
self with pious works. His wife, the
Princess Enora, who was in Ireland, did
nothing but weep and pray, she was 50
distressed about the absence Of her hus-
band. One night she slept and had n
vision. She saw her husband standing
before her, shining bright as a spirit. lie
said to her:
If you wish to save your soul, follow
me into the solitudes, and labor for your
salvation"
81 will follow YOU" she replied,
- and become a religious nun, rs you
bid me.
Then the angels took her sleeping in
their arms aud bore her swiftly across
the great seas and placed her down on

struck three blows on the door saying,
+ '.Je suis cotre douce e. Uotrc femme qfte
/ Die,t a amenee ici' / am your love and

The saint opened the door to her and
took her by the hand. He babe hen

Of holy life. He built her hermitage
next to his, and all the rest Of their lives
they busted themselves in holy works ano
sanity duties. Once in awhile they me
on the borders of the forest and talked
of life eternal together, but he neye
looked on her face again! one night there
was a great storm, and the next day thu
people found St Ethan and st. Enori
living dead side by side, their breasts anC

Elsewhere there is told the story of
crime in rural Massachusetts which reads
like an episode Of border life in the South
west. The armed desperate, the family
feud, the love entanglements, the open
assault before whole congregation, the
murder, the dramatic flight to the woods,
the fury Of the peOple-all these things
are clements in a tragedy such as we do
not expect New England to furnish US.
But we may say sadly that the whole
country is a land of surprises. In every
strange crime there is is 4 salient feature
that gives it individuality, and in this muir
der OF North Savoy the marvellous Gle
ment is the mysterious prOclivity of Clara
Starks to fall in love with the most des
perste william that came within her knOwl-
edge, and admire him for his manifold
niquities. 1t Is one of the SANDERS of
the old satrists that this is a propensity
of the sex, and certainly Of the scOundrel
Blanchard among the girls in Western
Massachusetts would 90 far to Justify the
sheer. He was, as is plain from his
scutfie at the village church, rutfian In
his manners he was fellow without
money; he could have had little personal
elegance about him, for he was farm
laborer; he was essentially mean scoun-
drel because he had been convicted of
petty larceny, and he was so disloYal in
his love affairs that he boosted of having
two wives and made no secret of his less
permanent conquests. What was there
to make him a tavorite if not the glory
of carrying a revolver and having kept
faro bank in Mexico? And Clara Starks,
girl scarcely old enough to have an in
nocent country beau accompanying her
home from meeting, set her fathers COM
mands at defiance and stole away from
home for clandestine rambles with this
rascal. Her perversity cost her the loss
of her reputation and brought about the
murder of her father. entailing, as such
perversity generally does, fearful pun
ishment Can it be that the life of a
New England community IS so monoto-
nous, that there is such surfet of psalm
singing and Sunday school, that heyoung
men are so tame and solemn in their be-
havior, that the girls long for a change,
even if the devil brings it?

a Georgia Judge Suddenly TX.
pires While ON The Bench.

Atlanta CoustitutiooI
i bout o'clock on Thursday evening.
while the Superior Court was in session
at Knoxville, the county seat of Craw-
ford County, Judge Barnard Hill, the
presiding Judge, died upon the bench in
a sudden and unexpected manner. The
facts appear to be as follows:
\ criminal trial, in which two negroes
were charged with larceny, had just been
concluded and the jury returned yer
dict Of guilty" They neglected to state
the value Of the goods stolen, and Judge
Hill remarked to them that they had best
retire and supply this:portion of the YER
diet. They returned into the room and
a lul in the proceedings occurred. a
few moments after one Of the attorneys
looked up and discovered that Judge
Hills head was thrown back npon his
chair, a deathly palIor overspreading his
countenance Friends rushed to him,
but with an easy gasp his spirit passed
away and he sat dead upon the bench in
the midst Of the discharge Of his high
official duty.
The scene was one Of awe and impress
ed every heart, and there was a deep
feeling Of sorrow in every breast. The
cause Of death was probably heart dis
ease, and not apopleXy as was reported.
The symptoms lead to the former con-
clusion, and eve witnesses of the awful
affair agree in this belief

a Woman Love Requi1ed After
AN Engagement of Half
Century

From the Carlisle Pa Mercury
Upward Of fifty years ago there lived
in this county young swain possessing
the patrony mic Of George w. Gillespie,
generally known and called bv the
plebeian appellation Of Wash" In his
whilom tergiversations he became tangled
up in the affections of Miss Annie vii
son, Of Bath, who in her pristine DAYS
was rural lass Of no groveling presence.
They were wont to cougregate under the
outrageous shrubbery of old man Will
son and exchange those soul inspiring
words and glances which only the 1--we
nile tillers Of the soil can enjoy, til
George found himself engaged and the
day named. But trivial troubles arose
which seemed mountains in Georges
eyes, and in fit of disappointment he
pulled stakes and sought habtation in
the West. As time lapsed his passion
for the fair Annie sufficiently paled to
admit Of his affections being centered
upon another, whom he married. and
reared family Of eleven children, all
Of whom are now married, having long
since abandoned the parental hearth.
Two years since Mrs. Gillespie died, and
the lonely widower began to revolve in
| his genealogical lottery wheel a few
schemes to get wife, when the quon-
dam apple of his eye was presented, and
he unanimously adopted Il resolution to
return to his first love In Bath.
He found her enjoying the Isolated lot
Of an old mail, and told her he didn't
mean anything by it and asked if she
was still angry. She said she felt lit
| tie mitfed at first, but had partly gotten
over it. 1t was not long till he had sue
ceeded in reinstatlng himself in that en-
viable place in her heart which only he
had ever held, and the sparks Of affec-
ton that had s1noldered in her devoted
bosom for more than half a century were
rekindled.
The two lovers visited the Parish FAN
in company, and while there called on
Clerk Patton to ATTAIN the requisite mar
riage documents, which were issued by
this urbane gentleman, CATER proper in
qujry as their ages. They then sought
the smiling countenance Of Judge Tur
ney, and were welded.
They spent several hours at the fair,
and in the evening took the train for
Cincinnati. to enjoy the sweets of a we'd
ding tour. Returning to Carlisle, they
were met at the train by that kind heart
ed gentleman, George w. Bramblette,
and conveyed to his neat gothic residence,
where, amid relatives and friends and
delectable strains Of music, all was peace
and Joy unaIloyed, and the assemblage
wished them a happy voyage back VI
life's path. The bride is sixty nine year:
old and the groom is seventy-three.

a MOhammedan Open Air Prayer
MceIinS.

In the Times Of India, Of August 81,
there Is an account Of a special meeting
of the Mohammedan community at Bonn
bay. AT this meeting it was resolved
that special prayers for rain should be
offered up, and that fast or accor-
dance with the sacred law Of the Moham-
medans should also be held. The fast
commenced on Sunday, and on that day
rain commenced TO fall and continued for
a number of days following. On We'd
nesday it has been intended 70 offer the
special prayer for rain, but rs rain had
already fallen it was decided to offer IN
stead a Thanksgiving for the showers.
The following interesting description is
given of the scene:
GA kind Of pulpit had been erected
near the Esplauade road, about midway
between the Gymkhana and the Money
School Near this pulpit was laid down
a quantity Of mating, and on the mats
the Moaammedans ranged themselves in
rows facing the pulpit, the priests and
heads of the communities being nearest
the pulpit. The prayer commenced
about half-past ,, at which time there
must have been fully from 10000 10 r.
600 people present, while as the day
wore on the numbers increased, SO that
at one time from 1000 to 20, 900
must have been present, among them
being about 400 women. The prayer
lasted three quarters Of an hour
and very impressive sight il
was to see this vast multitude now
standing with their arms reverently
folded on their breasts, now kneel-
ing and now prostrating Themselves
with their forehead touching the ground.
Although the special prayer was over
soon after three, yet but few went away
directly, the majority stopping for the
third Mohammedan prayer Of the day
which commenced about four, while d
few waited for the fourth prayer, which
took place at sunset. Special precautions
had been taken to prevent any breach Of
the peace by a strong body Of police be
4 ing stationed on the Esplanade road
The proceedings, however, Throughout
were of most orderly character, and NJ
disturbance Of any kind took place tina
we we're aware Of. -"
