Death OF Mrs Josephine B. Dawson

We are panied to record the death, on
Thursday of last week, of the wife OF
Mr. H. A. Dawson, Of this place. But
q brief time has passed since she came to
this village to take up her residence, a
blooming and happy bride. Gentle in man
ners, affable in disposition, lovely in per-
son and modest in demeanor, she speedily
won the hearts Of all who came in contact
with her and excited the admiration ofthose
who observed her.
She had long been sufferer with throat
consumption which finally terminated her
fife
Scarce two years have passed and the
orange wreath which rested upon the fair
brow Of the young bride is replaced by a
snow wreath covering her newly made
grave. May the sod rest lightly above her |!
Deceased was the youngest daughter of the
late Thomas Baker, of Washington, who
was intimately known in this county, and
the sister of John A. Baker, Esq, the we'll
known merchant Of the same city, and her
untimey death has spread grief throughout
a very large circle Of relatives and friends.
All who know Mr. Dawson will sympath ize
with him in his great loss.

Mr.. David Ii. Bouic, Superintendent of

graduated the children on their scholarly

knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build
ing, in Baltimore, has been adorned with a
new coat of Knights beautiful Enamel Paint,
and looked appropriate in its holiday attire
during the sesqui-centennial week. Its cheap
ness, beauty and durability are three points
that give it preference over all others. BY
practical painters it is said TO be the best in
use, and we are inclined to agree with them,
for that placed upon our office is as bright
and compact as when first put on during the
past summer. Those who are in need OF
paint we invite to examine the difference in
beauty and durability between the Enamel
Paint and lead and oil upon our dwelling

house-though put there at the same time
the Enamel was put on the ofllce-is dingy,

that there has been no serious insubordina-
ton or any attempts TO escape that moral
and religious teachings coupled with rigor-
GUS discipline, enforced labor, cleanliness,

the habits and improved the health of the
convicts and as an absolute fact the physical
