ter of Daniel and Mary Pembroke of this
town, who died at the Montpelier House
very suddenly June 22d, was a yeung lady
who, by her kind and amiable disposition
and her diligence and faithfulness, en-
deared herself not only to her relatives, but
to all who knew her. The home circle by
the mountain-side will sadly miss her.
From three families within one mile of each
other has young person been taken in the
last ten months. They all have the hearty
sympathy of friends and neighbors. -
Miss Jennie Richardson has been in very
poor health for about two months, suffering
severe pain in her head, and for some time
has been possessed with a mania to take
her own life. On Friday last she desired to
call on one of the neighbors, and while there
she slipped out of the back door, walked
deliberately through the garden to the river
and threw herself into the water near the
head of the Narrows. AS soon as she struck
made an cutlery. Help was soon at hand,
and John Winn rushed down steep en-
bankment of rocks just in time to save her.
She had hoated some ten rods and caught
upon point of rocks, but was nearly ex-
hausted when rescued. She says that she
shall not try the Narrows again, for the
rocks hurt her.
