OBITUARY.

Died. at Longdale, Va, on Monday, No
yember 7th, Mrs. MARY }. CoTTRELL, IN the
7Oth year of her age.
Truly faithful follower Of the Good
Shepherd has gone home to rest from the
trials and cares of this life. In the year
1880 she sustained p painful injury which
crippled her for life. As result she has
since that time been deprived of the plea
sures derived from an active life Thus
for the past twelve years this world has
afforded her but little enjoyment. and her
chief desire in these years of atfiictlOn has
been TO serve and honor her God. Her
Bible and prayer book were her constant
studies until greater atfilctiOn came upon
her. causing the loss of eye5ight. While
this was a source of untold grief TO her she
bore II with becoming Christian fOrtltude,
constantly sending mp to the mercy-seat a
petition that she might be granted sutfi-
cent eyeslght to enable her TO read her
Bible. When she could no longer do this
she delighted in holding in her hands the
Good Book from which she had always de-
rived so much comfort and consolation.
For some weeks previous TO her death her
mind became 30 much impaired she failed
to recognize any of her loved ones, but she
never forgot her Saviour. Many days be-
fore she passed away she never addressed
a petition TO any earthly being, but con-
stantly sent up her supplioatlons TO Him
whom she delighted to serve. She seemed
TO live for the better world so long that
when her summons came she was ready to
90 to her heavenly home. We are COM
forted IN the blessed assurance that when
she passed through the valley she feared
no evil. Jesus being her refuge and
strength has borne her safely over the
river, where a life Of many sorrows and
affections has been exchanged tor one OF
eternal peace aud happiness. S. NJ. A.

Condition Of Mrs. Paulhaus,

Mrs. Charles 4. Paulhaus. who was so
seriously injured on Wednesday afternoon
by the explosion of some chemicals which
she was mixing. continues in critical
condition. In fact, she was worse yester-
DAY than on the previous day, and her re-
covery is exceedingly doubtful. Mr.. Paul
haus, who was less severely hurt, is going
about. but has his right hand in bandages:
He Is unable to do anything whatever, and
having no friends here, is trying to raise
funds with which to get to his home.
in Newark, n. j., where his wlfe's relatives
live. He has not yet communicated with
them at all. fearing that q telegram would
shock Mrs. Paulhaus's sister, who Is quite
delicate. He thinks he can secure all the
money he needs there and 1t is his inten-
ton TO send his wite's sister here 10 be
with her az much as possible. The physl-
clans think it is best for him not to see his
wife again. as she will talk 20 him and that
makes her face worse and prevents the
sores from healing.
