ON the 8th inst. in this city, Mrs.
LIZZIE +. wife of II. n. Deatrick,
aged SO years II months and 10 days.
The deceased bore her long and Sc
we're illness with accomplishing
rneekness. Quiet and gentle in dis
UtsTtcn, she was warmly and strong
iy.attached to all her friends. She was
a faithful and useful member of the
Lutheran church of Martinsburg.-
Death had no terrors for her. In
view of her approaching dissolution,
sVen when she had lost the power of
speech, she raised her weary hand
toward heaven, as if to say There
s my home," and l am,
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where many mansions be-
.7eareC the throne where Jesus reig1S,
Nearer the crystal sea"
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where burdens are laid down,
Nearer leaving the cross of grief
Nearer gaining the crown
She fell asleep is Jesus as calmly
and sweetly as the bright and cloud
less sun of Oct. Sth, sank beneath
The western sky. The friends that
mourn her death, need not sorrow as
those who have no hope; "for them
which sleep in Jesus, Shall God bring
with him. MAY the God of all
eomfort who comforteth us in all
CUR tribulation," sustain the bereav-
cd husband, and comfort the moth
elSess children, sanctify their loss

A New Paying Occupation
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

The handsome Nickel Plated New
Home Lamp, being introduced TO the
public this Season, is the most merito-
rious article ever offered Agents to
make money with. tits safer, and more
| convenient than the Student Lamp,
which has heretofore had the reruta-
ton of being the Safest Lamp made; it
has clamp to firmly attach it to the
Sewing Machine, Piano, Organ, Desk.
etc. The fear ofthe ordinary lamp be-
ing accidentally upset or thrown from
the table, is entirely relieved by this
simple clamp contrivance. 1t can be
adjusted to throw the light just where
it is wanted to suit the eyes, and can be
converted into handsome wall lamp.
II has the best argand burner, filing
indicator, and convenient match box,
and its price is within the reach of eve
ry one. 1t has been fully tested and
editorily endorsed by the "Western
Christian Advocate" Gam. Christian
Review" Herald and Presbyter,"
journal and Messenger" and ''Chris
tian Standard" the leading religions
papears Of Cincinnati, and is endorsed
by the Mayor and Post Master of Gin
cinnati, the Agent ofthe American Ex-
press Company and Presidents of In
suranee Companies, as being the Safest,
Most Convenient and best Lamp made.
There are three reasons why Agents
should seek such an article to canvas
for-frst, tor its absolute safety and
great convenience it is needed in every
home-secold, its low price makes its
sale immense-third at will be a credit
to handle such an article One south
ern Agent writes, it sells faster than
Gen. Lees Portrait sold right afte the
war; another writes, it beats the palmy
days Of the Sewing Machine It's rapid
sale, low price, and liberal terms sur
prise old Agents. Address Home

licit that an advance be made on the prices paid

no source to extrlcate ourselves unless we be al
