At half past one o'clock yesterday

quiet residence of Miss Nettie
White, No. 80 Market street, Miss
Mollie Hall, a girl of some twenty
years, a native of Columbia. Tenn.
The girl came here some three
years ago, and had lived with
Miss White since then. She
was taken i'll about four weeks since,
and Dr.. Maury, her attending physi-
clan, had given direction that she be
kept very quiet. A few moments be-
fore death she raised herself IN.
and the exertion being too
much for her frail strength, she
fell back and expired. The sudden
death startled the people within the
house, and Miss White decided to
have a post norton examination to be
satisfied there was nothing wrong. 1t
was held by Drs. Maury, Mitchell and
Winn, and the fact was disclosed that
death resulted from liberation of the
lungs and liver. The girl was buried
at Elmwood Cemetery at 5 o'clock yes
terday evening. Miss White and her
friends attending the funeral, and

ness, together with hal of her inter-
ment, was borne by Miss White. who
spared no effort during the last days
of the deceased to provide for every
want, and to soften the pangs Of her
illness by kind and generous treat
ment.
