Died, at the Maryland Hospital for
Women in Baltimore, on Tuesday morn
ing, April 18th, 1897, Laura Virginia,
daughter of William and Caroline
Smaltz of Hampshire county, and niece
of Mrs. Louis Diehl of this place. For
nine years prior to her death the de-
ceased had made her home with her
aunt here, and by her sweet and kindly
traits of character, and her bright chris
tan influence, had endeared all to her with
an enduring affection For the last year
the hand of disease had fallen heavily
upon her, and when it became urgent for
her to go to the hospital she did so rather
for the sake of her loved ones. She bore
her sufferings with much fortitude, and
when told that death was near was per
fectly resigned and talked to her sister
about the loved ones at both her homes,
with the message to inject her in heaven. ;"
To DR. Vance, Presbyterian minister of
Baltimore, who waswith her until she died,
she talked freely though suffering much,
asked him to sing Jesus Lover of Ny
Soul, -" and to read to her the Esd Psalm
after which she was anxious to go, say
ing, Jesus come quickly" Herremains
were taken to her home in Hampshire
county, accompanied by her sister and Mr..
and Mrs. Diehl and son, Louis. of this
place, where interment took place on
Thursday, April 18th.

The recitals by Prof. S. T. Ford in our
chapel on this and last evening were su-
perior to anything of the kind we have had
here. They were universally approved
and enjoyed Both in the selection and
the rendering of the pieces great taste
was displayed, and I am persuaded that
an excellent moral impression was made,
while the most hilarious laughter was
often evoked. regard Prof. Ford as a
reader of very great excellence

teratlye, while it relieves the bowels and reg

Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort of

This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence that
