 It is with profound regret that'we announce the death ofMiss Mattie Long which occurred ih Lime Rock on Tuesday morning of last week after long and lingering illness of near ly six months. Although her recovery for several weeks had not been thought possible yet the tidings of her death were received with sadness among her many friends in this village especially her beloved school mates with whom she had always been great fav- orite and the object of their most tender sympathy and affection Matte for many years had been cripple yet under her mis- fortune she was ever remarkably bright and happy. The sight of her cheerful face in the home circle, school and street will be sadly missed for many day. She died devoted Christian and when near her departure bade her friends adieu one by one, leaving the blessed assurance that her treasure Was laid in Heaven and she had nothing to fear in her journey across the mystic tide" with the Savior she had early learned to follow. If there be compensating thought from this exemplary life of patient suffering it is that her soul returned to God who gave it pure and unspotted by the worlds temptations. The funeral was largely attended at the Chapel on Thursday, Rev. J. Lee Gamble of Falls Village officiating, selecting for his text ITO die is gain" from which he delivered an excellent discourse. The casket was cov- cred with beautiful flowers in designs of wreath cross, etc., and rested upon bank of the choicest floral offerings from loving friends, which were artistically arranged by Miss Oldfeld. The remains were inferred in the cemetery at North Cornwall
 'sHeaven's pearly gates were opened
 For one 80 sorely tried.
 She entered in without a thought
 That death was at her side.
 The grim monster cast no shadow,
 No fear came to her mind.
 She had been waiting patiently,
 So death to her was kind.
 Scarcely had the bell ceased tolling in flu. neral lay ere the dark angel of death spread his sable wings over the threshold of John Salweskl by removing their little Carl, beau tiful and promising child of fourteen months. The funeral took place on Friday and in the unavoidable absence of minister, Dea. Pratt made very appropriate and touching remarks. l@The parents desire to express their sincere thanks to their neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy manifested during their late affliction and for the beautiful flow CTS at the burial.
