DEATH OF AN Esr1MABLE LADY.-Our town
was shocked, on last Sunday morning, by the
announcement that Mrs. Mary Carroll, wifd of
Jno. NJ. Carroll. Esq, our City Treasurer, was
dead. She had been quite sick for about
month past, but no one was prepared for the
announcement of her death. She was well
known in all circles of society as most active
and assiduous worker in all the channels of
charity and relief for the suffering, and was
one of the most energetic laborers for the cause
of Christ and the advancement OF His Kingdom
in the world. She had been almost lifelong
member of the Methodist church. and was
rarely ever absent from her piaceas teacher in
the Sunday School. the prayer meeting and the
public worship. She will be sadly missed, not
only from the circle of home and immediate
connexions and friends. but by many who have
been the recipients of her many kindnesses and
missions of mercy. She suffered muchsduring
her sickness. but in her last moments she rest
ed easy, and calmly and sweetly her spirit took
its flight from this world of trial and sorrow to
that bright elysian land where all tears are
wiped away from the eyes OF all who truly and
sincerely serve the Lord. Her bereft husband
and sorely afflicted relatives and friends have
the sympathy of the entire community.
Her remains were buried from the residence
of her husband, in Thornrose cemetery on yes
terday Monday evening, followed by large
concourse of ctizens-Rev. DIR. Hough of1iciat-
