OBITUARY.

Died, on the I'D day Of November, ls77,
Mrs. Nancy S. HAYS, at the sdvanced aye
Of sixty-nine years.
The illness Of the subject Of this notice
had been continued through some weeks,
and her friends had anticipated her demise
Their ministrations for her relief never
tagged, and her last hours were soothed by
the presence of her children and grand
children.
The writer himself has known Mrs. Hays
since the days of his earliest childhood, and
it affords him especial qualification to state
that through many trials in life she
always exhibited a sweet womanly patience
through the fluctuations of long life She
was, II we mistake not, member of the
Episcopal church, but through having lived
for many years away from any society of
that denomination was deprived Of the
association Of her favorite sect. Yet from
our own observation, and from the testi-
mony of others, we are assured that she
always appreciated and enjoyed the con-
solutions " those religious vieys impressed
upon her intelligent mind in early life.
And whatever may be said against the TO
ligion that prevails in the land, it seems
always to carry with it consolation in
affection, trials and distress and to render
bright with the sun Of Gods love and
promise the dark cloud that hangs lower
ing over the grave,
Mrs. Hays was q good, noble-hearted
woman, self-sacrificing aad devoted to her
children. And although we only knew her
since her widow hood, are certain from other
traits in her character that she was a loving,
devoted wife.
After her long life she sleeps well. Those
who grieve that she is dead will lind solace
for their wounded hearts in the glad con-
seriousness that, rs her duty Mas we'll done
on earth, she will be hereafter well rewarded.

addition OF 100000; or $3.50, ,090 q

Sir W. Knollys. his treasurer, states
that his personal expenses are very

eiety. His income is not equal to.that
of number of his friends. When asked
lately il the report of his intending TO
visit Australia WAS true the Prince re-
piled that he hoped so, because he great
ly desired to see that region, and also be-
cause he would get a free passage there
