TO publish an account OF a wedding which
took place of my spirit iughter at my house
on the 10Th of this month, which / intended
to te strictly private and not find its way

order to identify herself TO us, She said she
suffered a great deal in her little body before
she left the earth, but il was all the fault OF
the doctors; she could have been born with
out instruments. That she was sorry she
ever was born; that IL had made an invalid
OF her Gear mother from that time to this.
After talking with US for some time she dis.
appeared and gave place 10 Others. On the

with no one in the house save my wife, my
self and John II. Mott, (who was lying in
