DEATH OF MRS CHARLES SMITH.


Mrs Ellen Smith, wife of the black
smith, Charles Smith, who lives near
Cornwall Bridge, died very suddenly on
Wednesday. The funeral was largely
attended on Friday. Nine children were
present, all grown up or nearly so, and
yet they were not too old to forget their
mother, and their grief at their loss was
very great. 1t was hard to turn away
for the last time, as her form lay in the
casket. 1t is an interesting family.
Great prospects are before them and it
is to be hoped that the community where
their lot may be cast, will be better
community, because of their presence in
it. In glancing over the list Of world
distinguished names in the Britannica,
the name of Smith exceeded every other.
We counted 214 covering over the entire
columns. There are Smiths enough to
turn the world upside down il they
could get place for their fulcrum. All
honor to the name, with single excep-
ton and that is Joe Smith, the father Of
Mormonism. Isuppose the other Smiths
will not own him, and cannot tell how it
was he seemed to have taken the name
of a class SO numerous and withal so
worthy of the species to which they be-
long. / hope / may be pardoned for
making these statements. A family of
nine with one gone before and the funer-
al of the mother suggested it.-CorIes-
