OBITUARY.

Monday; SsptsMHsr 4 is;s, Miss WILLIE /; Lorr.
aud s months.
Thus has passed away one OF the bright
est. fairest and sweetest flowers that ever
blossomed in any cline. Che death OF Miss
Sweetie has cast 3 gloom of sadness over
our entire community, and we'll it may. for
her presence was like sun beam dispelling
the clouds and shadows and spreading sun
shine and gladness wherever felt. While
none knew and appreciated more highly
her lovely character than the writer. and il
our pen could give expression TO the feelings
which spring from the depths of our heart,
it wonld write the most glowing tribute
that was eyer penned by the hand of i'll
spired genius. We feel and regret our ina
bility to do justice to one whose life was an
exemplihcation OF every grace and virtue
and christian charity. She vas ever thought
full and considerate of the feelings of others
them pain but always found pleasure in
contributing to the happiness of others.
Her life was so pure and innocent and
utterly devoid Of all evil as TO defy and re.
pei the attacks of the most INSCRIPTIONS
traducers and its purity and brightness il
surpassed by nothing save the glory and
grandeur of its close. Tho suffering in
tenseiy through an illness of ton days she
never complained but bore her sutferings
with true christian fOrtitude: aud when she
realized that human aid and human skill
were exhausted, and that death had laid it's
icy hand upon her, she called her father
and sister and friends around her and in a
calm, clear and collected manner spoke
words of consolation to them, babe them
farewell and asked them to meet her in
that life beyond where there will be no
pain or parting. This was indeed tho sad
dest, the most touching and neart-rending
scene we evor witnessed. 10 the heart
broken father and sister we know it We're
useless to offer words of consolation, for
she was their joy and pride, the center Of
all their hopes and affections, and it is be-
You'd the power of mortal to heal the bleed
ing wound Ill their hearts caused by her
death. 1t does seem that providence has
laid its hand heavily upon this aged
and stricken father. Of once happy fam
lily consisting of two noble sons and three
fair and lovely daughters, there is but one
left to comfort him in his old age, but he
can console himself with the thought that
those who have gone haye left no blot or
blenish on their name or character, but
were all that a proud and fond father could
wish them, and that the sweet little flower
which has just withered and died, and
whose life was so lovely and so good As to
elevate and enoble all who came in contact
with her, will live and bloom again more
radiant and mole beautiful in that land
where sorrow and death never enters, and
he may by emuiatiug the example OF his
''baby grip once again clasp her to his
bosom never to he separated F9oud Aes-
;SeuOPy.

The teachers of the city public schools
are announced in to-day's paper. The
selections, except that OF the principal,
gives very general satisfaction. 1t seems
strange that the board should haye persist
ei in making this appointment in face OF
the well-known disapproval Of the public
but is seems to be All established rule that
when the average citizen becomes clothed
with a little brief authority he must needs
show that authority whether the dear PEG
ple like it or not.

an Immigration convention at some point

The apostle Paul says, 'There is neither male
