 The community was painfully sad dened at the announcement of the deatl of Mrs Charles Owens, which occurred at her home, on Sunday morning, aftel nearly two years of patient suffering with that fell destroyer, consumption Death came at last suddenly to her, ye was not entirely unlooked-for, as the slender thread that bound her so close ly to dear home and friends seemed ai fragile to all as gradually wasting lii, could make it. From early years sh, hal been the recipient of special carr and tenderness from loving friends ol account of her rather delicate health and it had been hope against hope witl her that she might yet recover from thi lst sickness winch has been borne fo many weary months with Christian pa tience and fortitude To those wh, k II tly administered to her every wisl 8 le always greeted them with the sam, sweet smile, apparently cheerful all, happy with the thought of some day il the future of being once more wei again. But this was not to be, as he. l fe was ebbing rapidly and unperceive, away, and not until few days previous to her death did her resolute and enduI ng courage give way. The last morl. ing that dawned upon her she talkr, composedly of death and her hope of , glorious immortality, selecting tlI, hl mns for the funeral, etc. Calling hc. dear ones to her bedside she bade then one by one adieu and passed away iron earth as calmly as ''dies wave alon, the shore" Thus, by the mysteriou ordering of Providence, Is a young lii, taken ID the very sphere of usefulness, , once happy home bighted and mad, desolate aud devoted husband beref of @ beloved companion who is mo lost but gone before"
 ''Shed not for her the bitter tear, | Nor give the heart to vain regret; 'Tls but the casket that lies here.
 The gem that filled it sparkles yet." The sympathy of the whole community is extended to the family and friends il this sad hour of their affiiction and be reavement, The funeral will be attended in tue chapel to-day, the remains to b' taken to Lime Rock for burial.
