MJSSETTER
The death of young Charles p. Mus

occurred on Monday morning
last, at his home on West Pat
rick street. The circumstances at
tendent upon his illness and subse-
quent demise were of a particu-
larly SAD and affecting character Some
time ago the lad contracted that dread
disease, consumption, and its insidious
inroads upon his constitution soon
alarmed his relatives and friends.
Everything that could possibly be done
to relieve him of the malady was done,
| but the die was cast and they could
| only wait in agoniZing suspense until
| the course was run. The deceased was
in his 22nd year and was a bright
youth, full of promise and vigOr. He
was popular with every one and his
death falls with a heavy hand upon
his young companions, who, all
through his sickness were constantly
in attendance upon him, took him
| driving when the days were pleasant
and carried dainty morsels to tempt
his failing appetite. He was MEN,
Der of the Independent Fire Company,
which organization turned out at his
funeral on Wednesday.
ROSS.
It again becomes our sad duty to
chronicle the death of another of Fred
erick's most honored and highly re-
spected residents, in the person of
Mrs. Ann q. Ross, who departed this
life in her Goth year last Tuesday
morning at an early hour. For some
time past Mrs Ross has been in failing
health, but the most sanguine expec-
tations were held as 10 her ultimate
recovery. The end came peacefully
at o'clock, and so passed away from
the cares of life one who had devoted
| the best interests OF her mind and
heart to the alienation of the ellis that
| flesh is heir to-" in others as well as
| their religious and moral welfare.
Mrs. Ross was an ardent church
worker aud was identified with all
vancement. She was an especial
friend of the yonng, and all looked up
I to her as the ideal of an exemplary
christian. The entire community
in which Mrs. Ross spent the ripened
years of her life aud by whom she was
esteemed and loved, feel her loss, and
devoted family are inconsolable at
the great trial they have to bear.
Mrs Ross was the eldest daughter of
the late Colonel John Mcpherson, and
granddaughter of Thomas Johnson,
irst Governor of Maryland. She was
the widow of Worthington Ross, Esq.
The only surviving member OF the
family is Mrs. George r. Dennis, of
Urbana. The deceased was member
of the Episcopalian Church. The fun
eral took place yesterday and was at
tended by large number of friends
and relatives. Rev. Osborne Ingle of
ficiated.
