| MRS PRISCILLA MALTBY, whose death oc-
! CURED on the 18th instant, was born in Ac-
worth, \. III. Most of her married life was
! passed on the farm where she died. She
| lived to be eighty-three years old, and Mr..
| Maltby, who died some two years ago, was
nearly as old. She was a woman of unusual
energy and ability, and her influence in the
Baptist church and in society will be greatly
missed. She was very seldom absent from
church and Sunday-school, as long as she
was able to take the somewhat long ride to
attend. In the social circle and in all
benevolent schemes she was an active
worker, and what she took hold of was
pretty sure to succeed. Her memory will
be honored by all who knew her.
