Sc Kiss me goodnight Papa, won't
see you in the Morning.

see you in the Morning.
These were among the last words uttered
few evenings ago, by one of the sweetest
and most lovable women of the long line of
Adams race. Far away from the scenes of
her childhood, after years of uninterrupted
health, her physical powers suddenly gave
way, and messages were flashed over the
wires bidding distant friends to hasten to
the bedside of dying sister Being told
by her spiritual adviser that her end was
near, she calmly replied 81 am willing to
go, for all s bright before me-" The time
indeed, was short. The sunlight had faded
from the mountain tops, the shades of even.
Ing had settled in the lovely valley and The
vapors were rising from the waters of the
beautiful Kanawha, when she felt her feet
splashing ir the cold waters of the Jordan
OF death. Pausing Tor moment, and turn
ing her face hitherward, she called her
husband, children, sisters, brothers, ser
wants, friends, and calmly and lovingly
babe them all, one by one, FAREWELL
When all had settled into profound quiet,
seeing her husband who had watched 40
anxiousy over her day and night still lin
gering by her side, aud knowing how weary
and exhausted ne was, she besought him to
retire to rest. and calling him to her tender.
ly said, kiss me goodnight papa, wont
gee you in the morning. Then falling into
slumbers low. soft and sweet, she passed
away to her heavenly home.
Thus closed the earthly career of tie
widely known aud much beloved Mrs. Eliza
Fl. Peyt ton, consort Of Dr. E. o. Peyton. of
Charleston, ". Va. While others recount
the deeds and sing tho praises OF statesmen
and warrioIs, be it mg humber, but happier
lot to record the triumphant passage, with
out tremor or fear, from time 10 eternity
through the dark valley of the shadow of
death, of a tender CHRISTIAN WOMAN.

HILLLsBoIo, Ohio, Feb. 28.-Sx miles
southeast of this place lives William Means,
a wealthy farmer. Last Thursday evening
some young folks met there at merry max

mischief loving sisters named Stover, thiuS

house and dressed up in ghostly fashion
They wrapped themselves in sheets, put
on false faces made of dough and then burst
suddenly in upon the guests. Four young
ladies' tainted at the sight of the awful ap.
partitions. Two were restored to conscious
ness without serious trouble and two others,
Misses Dora E. Aikens aud Lizzie Clancy,
wsro restored only to pass into condition
of frightfu! delirium, screaming aud crying
constantly. The physicians hold but sleu-
der hopes of the recovery Of their reason.
