Mrs John Cavanaugh.

ing ill and, though herself averae to the idea of being sick enough to warrant 1t, Dr Richardson was called in, who found her suffering from eryspelas. The ma liguancy of the disease was internally manifested, there being but slight manl- festations Outwardly of it's virulence. She did not improve for a few days, nor did sheIseemingly grow worse and, hence, all apprehensiOns ot danger were lulled to sleep in the minds of friends and phys ician alike.
 Thursday forenoon preceding her death. she grew suddenly worse, alarm ing her friends; and Father Fox was called in and thought it wise to prepare her for death, which was accordingly done. The patient grew worse and worse and consultation was agreed up- on. Dr Hubbard was telegraphed for at Bridgeport, but could not come. Dr Vile was hastily sent for and responded, but reached her bedside a few moments after the last breath was drawn and her gentle spirit had passed away. He, how ever, expressed the futility of medical skill in averting the sad end, when in formed of the circumstances of her death.
 The funeral occurred from St. Rose church, Saturday morning, with a high mass of requiem celebrated by her below ed pastor, thence to the cemetery in the Glen Opposite her early home and birth al f~,1I ho 1ne place by large concourse of her neigh bors and friends, all of whom were mourners in spirit.

 IN MEMoRIAM. MRS JOHN cAvANAuGH, DIED
 APRIL 2, 1892.
 I looked the brow of the dead,
 Where rifts Of silver were tiaking;
 What is Life? What is Death? cryi
 To my spirit, her spirit maketh reply;
 "Death is only awaking,"
 The naples bow heads to each other,
 Bending low o'er her bier ere they sever; hear the words of their swelling desire, As, emulating her, they to heaven aspire:
 Life is striving upward foreveri"
 Now list we the peal of the organ,
 Like unto Prayer ascending above;
 Into the soul of each mourner is creeping The Creed of her life, banishing weeping:
 Life is harmonious Lovei"
 Now cold fall the clods on our ear,
 And her life and our life seem riven;
 But hark! Renedictions down the ages that
 ring:
 '.Death hath no victory Death hath no sting
 Death is the threshold of heaven ,',--[T.JC 0
