Mortuary.
MRS. wM. J. CARRow.

MRS. WIN. j. CARROW.
Mrs. Mary Frances CarrOw, wife of
William J. Carrow, of this town, died
suddenly in Philadelphia, on the 9th
inst, in her 39th year.
We need not say her sudden death
was a great shock to her friends, es.
pecially to those of this town. Name"
CarrOw," as she was known to all, was
a devoted wife, loving mother, a com
panionable eighbOr-winning all
about her with her amiable disposition
and loving and endearing qualities.
Uniting herself with the church when
off to seminary at Stubensville, Ohio,
she had ever retained the impress
thus made on her young heart. AL
though suffering from long and SER
ious illness, she was never known to
complain, but was instead always
cheerful.
The disease became so serious that
her husband attended her to DR.. Good
ellis private hospital in Philadelphia,
to undergo an operation which proved
too much of a strain on her weakened
system, her heart ceased to pulsate.
the bright light had gone out and her
spirit had taken its departure to the
God who gave it, The shock to her
friends, awaiting what was expected a
favorable result, can be better imagined
than described.
Mrs. CarrOw was the daughter of
James aud Elizabeth Littell, of Pitts
burg, Pa, where she was born and
lived up to The time of her marriage,
July Sd, 1877. She leaves a husband
and only daughter, Agnes, in her
twelfth year, to mourn her loss. The
funeral was on Monday afternoon, CON
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Wilson, the inter-
ment being in GlenwoOd Cemetery.
The bereaved ones have the sincere
sympathy of their many friends.

the shortest day of the year. This
increase of sunshine is not only impor.
tant as relieving the dFeariness of win

tiles, but it is significant in a meteoro-
logical point of view. The SUMS rays
still fall too obliquely to our zone of the

hcient to break every cold spell which
