OBITUARY..

A telegram received from Morrli last satur-
day morning brought the sad intelligence OF
the death at that place, on FRIDAY night OF
Mrs. Mary A. Hynds, daughter Of VIM. ii.
Undcrhill of this place. The sudden and I'M
expected shock has thrown gloon over our
village. Having been brought Up in this
place she was universally admired for her gen
lie amiabIc and lady.llke qualities. The cause
of her death seems to have been congestion
of the stomach \ little over twd years ago
she was married to Mr. ID. NJ IIynls, of Nor
ris, with prospects of future happi,cSs bright,
er than falls to the common lot oi every per.
son. But Death, the destroyer of human hap.
piness in this world, visits The , bee aid the
cottage alike, spares neither the 81 or peas
ant, nor the young, the beautiful, the gay or
festive, but must satisfy his appetite a. well
with them as with the old, cafe.worm or
afflicted. His sweeping sword spares not me
great and powerful any more than the insight
ficant. Oh. what IA contemplation for us all,
reminding us of that beautiful passage OF
scripture, In the midst Of life we AM in death"
Her remains were brought here fol intcrment
in the Catholic Cemetery from the Catholic
Church on Sunday, and notwithstanding the
inclcmcncy Of the weather that large and spa
clous church was filled with friends from town
and country who came to show their esteem
for one they had admired in life An eloquent
sermon was delivered by the Rev. Father
Sheedy on the good and amiablc qualities of
the deceased. During the able eulogy Of the
reverend gentleman IA general weeping could
be heard all over the church, and a dry eye
could not be seen. A CLEAN of consolation and
balm Of hope to the bereaved and distracted
relatives of the deceased was the very high ap-
probation she was held in in life by the sor-
rowing Of II whole community at her death.
May she rest in peace.
