Ancestors Who Had Little to DO.
To THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES:

Having for many years been . con-
stan { reader of your estimable journal,
in compliance with your solicitation /
herewith send few statistics which you
were unable to give IN your Tuesdays
edition. The inquiry as to how many
Wort DIS there are in the entire Bible
was made. My ancestors made q care
full count of portion and l have com
pleted the entire book, and am now pre-
pared to make the following statement:
That there are in the combined Bible
3,5s4 ,516 letters, 773,719 words, 31,37S
verses, 1,1s9 chapters and SO books. The
ninth verse of the eighth chapter OF
Esther is the longesi verse in the Bible,
while the thirty-fifth verse of the
Eleventh chapter of st. John is the short
est. You may depend upon the correct
ness OF the above. Hoping it may be
useful to you, remain yours,

Died, in this city, on Saturday night, Decem-
Der 9Th, after a short but painful illness, CHAR
LorTE B. PEERS, formerly of Kentucky. Her
remains were taken to Maysville, KY to be
buried by the side of her father and mother
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. N,
D. Hoge, D. D.
The subject of this obituary was the grand
daughter Of John B. Richeson, deceased, of King
William county, Va, and daughter of the late
Henry B. and Ann Eliza Peers, of Maysville,
Ky and a relative of Thomas D. Quarles, Of
this city.
1t is truly sad duty to chronicle the depar-
ture from this life of one so lovable Ill life and
character and we can but mourn over this provi-
dence, while we bow with submission to the will
of our heavenly Father She possessed in a
large degree, all those amiable qualities which
won the affection of both relatives and friends.
Even the strangers among whom she was
thrown, soon learned to prize highly her sweet
and loving disposition Early in life she was
led to give her heart to Christ and was ever
thereafter an active worker in the Presbyterian
Church and Sabbath School of Maysville, KY.
For many months an almost daily sufferer, she
was called upon to exercise that Christian pa
thence and exert that control of self, which ever
characterises the child of God; and she was not
found wanting but gave evidences Of frmness
and selfcontrol which were worthy the emula-
ton of all. As daughter she was devoted to
her parents. Animated by that 6lial love which
was a browning virtue, she could only exclaim,
when her mother was taken to the eternal home
on high, my earthly sun has set, hencefOrth l
walk only by the light of the stars" To her
relatives ALL she was united by the strongest
ties of reciprocal love, but specially did she
cling to theloving arm, and lean with confidence
on the never failing affection, of her adopted
mother and was blessed with the ministrations
Of her loving hand up to the latest moment of
her life In death, as in life, she was fully re-.
signed to the will of God, and died realizing the
presence of her Saviour, and the spirit of her
glori6ed mother lowering around her bed, wait
ing to carry her spirit to its eternal rest
God is our God, forever and ever he will be
our guide even unto death
Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims for
all the pious dead
Sweet is the SAVIOUR of their names, and soft
their sleeping bed r.

Departed this life November 22d, 1879. at her
home near Mount Meridian Augusta county,
Va. Mrs. HANNAH WALKER. She was the
widow of the late Alexander Walker. one Of the
most highly esteemed citizens Of that communl-
tv. The place of her birth and early home was
near New Erection church in Rockingham coun-
ty, where she had the advantages of faithful
Christian nurture She had passed beyond the
period of fourscore years, and at the time OF her
death was the oldest member on the roll of Au-
gusta church. Having filed up the measure Of
her days in faithful duty under all the relations
of life, she awaited the summons from above
with that calm meekness which so eminently
belonged to her character When asked, few
hours before her departure, if she had perfect
peace, she said, YES; I have no doubts no
fears; I know whom I have believed" Thus
has she come to her grave in full age, like as
a shock of corn cemeth in in its season Of
SIX children four remain to rise up and call her
blessed"
