SOUTHPORT.

Mary J., daughter of MT and Mrs
 James Smith, peacefully departed this
 life at 3 40 p ID, Wednesday, l7th, aged
 10 years, months, 17 days. She was
 patient sufferer for the past year from
 an abscess of the glands running into
 consumption. By careful nursing and
 ctose attention, many of her sutferings have been alleviated. She always wore
 a bright and cheerful countenance and, whenever a disheartened look came over the face of her parents, she would smil- ingly caution them not to worry, seem- ingly thoughtful that angels were wait ing her on the other shore. She was ta- ken to Brooklyn, last Fall, hoping that a change might benefit her, but she re- turned without Improvement and has been gradually failing since, though ever hopeful. The coffin was beautifully lin- ed with cut flowers and a cross, wreath and bouquets were on the cover. The fun eral was largely attended from the house, ing. The remains were laid at rest at Fairfield Roman Catholic cemetery :; bearers were her six cousins, Frank, Ed ward, John, James, Thomas Smith and John Cummings. She had endeared her self to all and to the grief strinken fa- ther and mother, three brothers, Willie, James and Edward and sister, whose de- votion has been untiring, we extend our deepest sympathy.
