Obituary.

On November IL. 1886, passed from
life to death one of Fennimore's fairest
daughters.
Miss Julia Marsden, daughter of
Thomas and Sarah Marsden. was born
in Fennimore, March II, 1869. and died
as above stated. Being of bright and
cheerful disposition and very studious,
she made rapid progress in her studies.
and early in her youthful life developed
desire to choose her life's expectation
that Of teaching; and from the formu-
lation of that decision, every energy of
mind and hour of life was bent in that
direction. For one of her age and OPP
portunities her mind was exceptionally
we'll informed and her conversation
bright. This with happy disposition
and pleasant manner, made her especi-
ally agreeable to company; but her
modest and retiring disposition made it
necessary for person to be intimate
with her long time before they could
comprehend her real and full worth.
About Thanksgiving time in 1885, she
contracted severe cold which settled
upon her lungs. From that time until
the last of the following February she
attended school. coughing nearly all the
time. but at which time she was forced
to give up her studies, and since then
her decline has been rapid and sure.
All that willing hands could do and
loving hearts suggest was done, but the
fell destroyer. consumption, had marked
her for its own, and all the labors,
wishes, and prayers of hands, hearts.
family and friends were of no avail,
| for the mandate had said,
''Gather the beautiful home to her rest
And strew the pale roses over her breast .
To the former we had to submit and
the latter was all that we could do; and
with tears and sorrow we laid her away
in the "silent city of the dead,' in the
Ebenezer Churchyard, never to see her
more upon earth. For want of time
many of her friends and schoolmates
couldn't participate in the mournful
ceremonies of the burial service.
MIR. and Mrs. Marsden and the family
have the heartfelt sympathy of large
circle of friends, who M ourn with them
in this their great sorrow which leaves
their home as a dark spot upon pail
of still deeper darkness.

OxYGEN.-A HERALD reporter had
the pleasure yesterday of witnessing
the interesting process of manufacture
ing oxygen gas. DR.. Hassell has in his
new 0ofliee the apparatus for making
oxygen and laughing gas. both of which
he uses in his practice. With the as
sistance of George Hyde he fills his large
gasometers once in two or three weeks.
The chemicals used for generating the
gas are burned over an oil lamp, and
1.-The gas is passed through several jars
ofliquids before going into the tank, in
order to purify it. The process is
very interesting, and although we are
not authorized to invite the public, we
have no doubt the Doctor would be
pleased to have any OF his friends wit
ness the sight if they happen around
on gas-making day.
