and sister of those we'll known gentlemen,
Messrs. Emile and Henry Buquoi, tho for
MGR resident of Ascension and the latter

had charge of the vestry Of the Catholic

COMSTOCK.-At Donaldsonville, La,
Wednesday, December IA, 1881, at ll:45 p.
NJ, ALBERT CoMsTocK, aged IS years.
Deceased was native of Donaldsonville
and lived here the greater portion of his
life. He was a young man Of quiet and re-
served disposition, and strangers or casual
acquaintance may generally have been i'm
pressed with the idea that he was morose
aud taciturn, but ut appropriate times and
places, when associating with friends and
surrounded by those Influences which call
forth the true and kindly feelings of mans
nature, none were more genial or high
spirited than he. During the war he served
the Confederacy as member of Winclles-
ter's Pelican Battery, and was one Of the
best soldiers of that gallant command. He
leaves g. wife and six children to IN ourn the
loss Of kind husband and indulgent father.
His relatives of the Mavor, Buquoi and
Atkinson families, as we'll as his many
friends in this parish and elsewhere will
sincerely regret his death and join in the
silent prayer that his soul may find rest
and happiness in that mysterious realm
beyond the tomb from which no traveller
returns. The weeping widow and father
less children have the deep sympathy of
the entire community. The funeral took
place Thursday afternoon, the body being
buried in the Catholic cemetery.

Two more youthful chcrubs have gone to
join the bright aud happy band of angels
that cluster about the footstool Of Him who
said Suffer little children and forbid them
not to come unto me, for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven" Both the children
whose sad death are above recorded were
afflicted by that terrible disease, diphtheria,
the fatal progress Of which defied alike the
skill Of physician and the tender care Of
loving nurses. Don and Mabel were at
tractive, intelligent and affectionate chill
dren, the idols of doting parents, whose
hearts are sorely wrung by the decree Of
Providence which has taken their darlings
forever from their sight. The sympathy
of all who have ever sustained similar af
fictions will be extended to those bereaved
fathers and mothers, whose only consola-
ton must he found in the belief that their
lost ones are now III happier sphere,
whore sufferiugs and sorrow are unknown
