l "Life and thought have gone away. | Side by side,
 Leaving door and windows wide, Careless tenants they 1 Yes, gone away from the sweet and holy atmosphere of an earthly home, and from all the tender ties that love binds about the human heart. On Monday evening life and thought went out upon the last rays which a perfect day had left to tell of it's royal glory, and, going, there remained 1 to stricken city only the beautiful memory of beautiful life. For woman rich in all that constitutes true woman l hood, full all the beauties of mind and l person, fell asleep just as she reached the l complete realization of life's brightest dreams. To her had come all those ties of love which are an anticipation of another and more perfect existence. To her lips the wine of life, sparkling with radiant promises, had been held by the hands of angels, and, ere the bitter dregs were reached, the angels gently put the wine aside. To few is granted the privilege of "laying down to pleasant dreams'' with record so exquisite in detail, so com- plete and rounded in the whole as that which made up the short life of Mrs. George Summers Brown. A woman tian character and magnetism, she used every good gift for the brightening of the world in which she lived. She diffused sunshine and happi- ness all about her, and to many tired souls she brought comfort and sweetness: She left no thorns; only the flowers of loving kindness marked her way. She accepted her duties with gentle dignity. She did her part nobly, uprightly, and though so few years were granted her, she leaves this busy community. Her brief life, so complete, so lovely, 80 redolent, will al- ways remain an example to the young womanhood of our city. And no more precious monument could any woman have than the love, regard and esteem which came to her from all the different walks and spheres of life. Her going from us is ter irible calamity ,and our people offer to those who loved her best the tenderest, truest sympathy.

 MT. and Mrs. William Craddock enter tained number of friends few evenings since with wonderful demonstrations of the power of hypnotism. Mir. Smith, who possesses remarkable gifts as an hypnot. izer, surprised all of the guests with his work. The examples he gave left no doubt as to the genuineness of the demonstra- tions; they were beyond all ordinary ex- planation, and his subjects were perhaps the most puzzled people in the company. It was an entertaining and refreshing evening to all present.
