DIED.


On the 18th inst, in this viciaity, Mr.
JOHN Cox, of dropsy.
In this vicinity, Mr.. JAMES LITTRKLL,
of indigestion.
On the 18th, in this town, of fever,
DIR. A. MARTIN.
Death has invaded the family Of Mr..
j. m. and Mrs. Mary Hill and has taken
from them their much loved daughter,
EMMA. She was an obedient daughter,
ever willing to accept the wholesome
counsel of her parents. Four years ago
she was happily converted The purity
OF her subsequent life fully attests the
genuineness of her religion, and the
fortiiude with which she bore her af-
flictions proves the power of the chris
Lian religion to soften even dying bed.
The true tenderness and devotion of her
father and sisters was truly affecting
Her every want was anticipated and no
effort spared to alleviate her suffering.
The constant attention of her mother
was ceequsl with her boundless love
aud the less of EMMA falls mest heavily
upon her, Death is fearfully sad st
best; but when 1t chooses for its evic-
ton one OF such tender age and Noble
qualities, il falls with double weight
EMMA was seventeen years of age, and
though, not long resident of Merris-
town, many breast was saddened by
her untimeIy death. May the grace OF
God sustain her parents and friends in
this their great hour OF trouble. May
they realize that He smites with one
hand that He may heal with the other.
May Heaven guide us all through life
as beautiful. deaih as peaceful, and to
a reward as glorious as ElIMA's.
