OBiTU AIRY.

Died, in Lowell, OF heart disease, Feb. .,
1852, Mrs. Fanny Andrews, wife OF Free
man Andrews, and daughter OF John Dur
gin of South Hiram; aged 20 wears and
months. She was the first born OF five
children descended from religious stock,
reared In .amily where Gods word was
allowed daily.to speak, and where the in
cense of prayer continually assembled to
heaven. Surrounded by such influences,
and living in such religious atmosphere,
she early became the subject OF religious
impressions; and at the age OF sixteen she
publicly professed faith In Christ by bap-
tism, and united with the Methodist
church, of which chs lived q worthy member
till suddenly summoned To the church in
heaven. In Nov, 1880, she was married
TO Freeman Andrews of Lowell, and moved
at once to the tasteful hillside cottage
overlooking the valley below. Here ma
ture blended in one beautiful picture,
scene on which the eye could feast; here,
also, was plenty in store-house and barn
and above all, here were hearts united in
the tenderest affection. "But there is no
union here of hearts that finds not here an
end" As the thief comes in the night, so
came death to her, laying her in his icy
arms but we doubt not she was ready.
We commend the Borrowing husband to
him who said: .Ye now, therefore, have
sorrow, but will see you again, and your
sorrow shall be turned into joy"

readers.
The papers are beginning 10 look at the
almanac 10 see how far Off the March cleo
tions are. Portland, Lewiston, Auburn,
Biddeford, and other important municipal
elections will occur four weeks from next
Monday. IL is important that az these
elections the best men be nominated and
elected, and that Is the appropriate aud
customary work OF the republicans or
Maine. The fusionists are already ut
work, evidently contemplating drawing
the sharp. with the view Of a preliminary or
gsnzation and nose-countiug for the CUB
srnstorlsl campaign. Notwithstanding
the somewhat depressing results Of the re-
cent rallies held by the opposition in va
rious parts OF the State, it behooyes the
republicans 10 make the campaign Wig
orous one. The recent course OF Governor
Plaisted in the county appointments, has
increased the public interest in elections
not many months distant, and in the mu-
nicipsl elections, out OF which the oppO-
sitiOn would like 10 make sort of prelim-
