Death of Miss Martin.

Since printing our account of the sad
death of Miss Sarah L. Martin in our
DAILY, and which is on the fourth page
of this paper, VIC have received an ac-
count of the event from Rev Mr.. Annis,
which corrects some of the statements in
our notice. Ours was printed before this
came, and therefore we print that por-
ton of what Mr.. Annis says which is
necessary to correct any errors in our
item:
She was an interesting. intelligent chris
tian lady. Kind, courteous, thoughtful
for the happiness of every one, sympa-
thizing in their SORROWS, rejoicing in their
Joys, she endeared herself equally to
Young and old She leaves a large circle
of relatives and friends, who will long
cherish her memory as one of their
sweetest treasures. To her parents she
was not only fond, affectiOnate child,
but also Il loving contidant and compan-
ion; to brothers and sisters, a true and
helpful friend. Death, To the good,
is only transplanting To immortal life.
Sarah is now becoming introduced into
that life where her pure spirit will eter-
nally unfold itself, as the son of Right
eOusneSs shall kiss her soul with love.
The large and weeping concourse OF
scholars and neighbors who followed to
her last resting place attestthe love and
esteem in which she was held among
them. She was member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church about 10
years, after which il became more con-
Yenient to connect herself with the Meth
Odist Protestant church. where she re-
manned until she died. A. II. ANNIs.
