cents admittance. Saturday night. Feb.
18th, will close one of the most success
full terms that our town has ever had.
Our Literary Society which was Or
ganized three weeks ago and which
meets on Monday nights promises to be
grand success; with SO members on
roll and officers, who are taking great
interest for the success of the society,
we do not see hew it can fail.
Mrs. Maria Nichols is still very low
with very little hopes of her recovery:
Mrs. Thomas Michener and Mrs. Tay

time.
John Estep has been confined to his
room the last week with rheumatism.
The home of Frank Waddle was made
happy short time since by the appear

Our little town is sayer this winter
than it has been for several years.
We learn that Archie Rusk, who was
operated upon some time since by Drs.

Mrs. ROSE TROLL, wife of John I.
Troll, died at the residence of Conrad
Troll, Esq, on Thursday evening, from
consumption, in the 3Oth year Of her age.
During many weary months she con-
tended bravely against the insidious ad
yances of the fell destroyer, by her
strength of will-power, controlling and
suppressing the manifestations of suffer
ing, lest those around her should be
rendered unhappy. A week before her
death, she made visit to the family Of
her father, j. F. Simpson, Esq, Wheel
ing, and shortly after her return was
compelled to take her bed. As the end
of life drew near and sufferings in
creased, she endured with patience the
cross she was called to bear. Mrs. Troll
had large circle of warmly attached
friends, who learned to admire her as
she developed from bright and fasci-
mating school girl, to the warm-hearted
cOnsiderate and christian woman and
wife. Now she is at rest, and while the
hearts of her friends are filled with sor-
row, they are consoled by the knowledge
that for her "There is no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain"
The funeral took place on Sunday af-
ternoon. Religious services were held
at the residence of G. Troll, ESQ.,, and
were conducted by Rev. Robt Alsxan-
der. The Presbyterian choir sang sweet
ly, ''Go Bury Thy Sorrow" after which
Scripture passage was read and Rev.
Alexander made brief and appropriate
address, which was followed by prayer
by Rev. Thos. Balph. Friends were then
given an opportunity to view the re-
mains. The body lay in a handsome
casket, attirsd in the same elegant light
blue silk, which was her bridal robe but
a few years before. Several handsome
floral pieces were placed upon the coffin.
Interment at Union cemetery.
