They Rest From Their Labors.

Mrs. Henrietta Bedinger Lee, Of
shepherdstown, died suddenly of heart
disease last Friday at "Litchfeld, the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles
Goldsborough, at Walkersville, Fred
erick county, Nd. She had spent
most of her time for several years past
with Mrs. Goldsborough.
Mrs. Lee was the daughter Of Lieu
tenant Daniel Bedinger, Of the Revo-
lutionary Army, and his wife, Sarah
Rutherford. She was the sister of
Henry Bedinger, who represented with
distinguished ability Virginia dis
trict in the United States Congress
from 1845 to 1849, and who was min
lister to Denmark from 1858 to 1858.
She married Edmund Jennings Lee, a
grandson on his mothers side Of Rich
arch Henry Lee and nephew on his
fathers side of Lighthouse Harry
Lee, his father and mother having been
cousins. Mrs. Lee, who was in the
seth year of her age, is survived by
one son and two daughters Rev.
Harry B. Lee, minister Of the Epis-
copal Church at Charlottesville, Va. i;
Mrs. Ida Lee Rust, of "Rockland, ,
Leesburg, Va; and Mrs. Charles
Goldsborough, of Walkersville, Nd.
She was the mother, also, Of General
Edwin G. Lee, gallant Confederate
soldier, who died soon after the civil
war, and Of Edmund Jennings Lee,
whose death occurred year or two
ago.
Mrs. Lee was woman Of the high
est intelligence, and her strength Of
character and piety have ever caused
her to be regarded with the highest
respect and affection. She endeared
to her all who came in contact with
her, and her influence was always for
good in this community, where most
of her long life was spent.
Her body was brought to Shepherds
town for burial, and on Sunday the
funeral was held in the Episcopal
Church, of which she had been mem
Der for many years. The service was
conducted by Rev. DR.. Nelson, of this
place, and Rev. DR.. Magill, Of Fred
erick county, Nd. The church was
filled with relatives and friends who
had gathered to pay to her their last
tribute Of respect. The earthly tene-
ment from which so bright spirit
ha 1 fled was laid to rest in Elmwood
Cemetery, so close to her old home
that the birds that sing in the trees
above her grave may be heard in the
very spots that are hallowed by her
associations. May the clods Of the
valley rest gently upon her.

suddenly last Sunday night at the
home of her cousin, Mr.. a. R. Nc

was apparently in her usual health.
Soon after she had retired Sunday
night she called out, and her friends
found her suffering greatly from pain
at her heart. DR.. Hedges was called
in, and while he was administering
remedies she gave gasp and was dead,
having been sick less than an hour
The remains were brought to Shep-
herdstown on Monday, and Tuesday
were inferred in Elmwood Cemetery,
after service in the Presbyterian
Church by Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin.
Mrs. Huyett, who was 65 years of age,
lived in Shepherdstown for number
of years, and was well-known in this
county and Berkeley, where she had a
large circle of relatives and friends.
She spent most of her time visiting
among them. She was good woman,
and faithful member Of the Presby-
terrain Church. Her maiden name
was Turner, she having been daugh-
ter Of the late Robert Turner.

LING Ill AND HAML,N.
The Formers Preference In the Matter Of
the Vice-Presidency.

| had hoped to SEQ Mr.. Hamlin re

MI. Lincoln many opportunities to say
whether he preferred the denomination
OF the Vice-President; but he was craft
lily and rigidly non-committal, knowing,
rs he did. what was in my mind con-
corning Mr.. Hamlin. He would refer
to the matter only in the vnguest phrase,

naturally like to see Mr.. Hamlin re-
nominated; and you arc quite right"

without any false modesty. But he

l may say here that when l returned
from the convention Imadc u verbal re-

him with an account of some OF its do
