An Easter Dawn.

Low in the west the waning moon
A silver crescent shone,
High overhead a single star
Kept patient watch alone.
The earth was cold with frosty dews,
But all the east was pink.
As il a bed of roses bioomed
On mornings misty brink.
The sapphire field Of night above
Took on a paler hue
Perhaps the tread of angel feet
Had worn away the blue;
And through the ieecy clouds appeared
broad and brilliant raw
A golden herald bringing light,
The dawn of Easter day.

Died in the Buggy.

Mrs. Pernina Smith died last Thurs
day at her home near Wood bridge.
She had been sufferer for years, hut
the end came rather suddenly. After
the death of her husband, only nine
days before her own, Mrs. Clark Court
right went down to take care of her,
Thereafter George Courtright, her son,
went to Woodbridge, also his cousin,
Miss Nettie Courtright. 1t was her rc-
quest that she be removed to her old
home in Amador county, on Stony
creek, and preparations were made for
her removal. Miss Courtright return
ed to Amador to prepare for her recep-
ton, aud on Thursday last George
Courtright arranged to drive his
mother to Lodi to take the train for
home. She seemed cheerful, and ex-
pressed herself as able to stand the trip,
although much affected at leaving the
friends in Wood dbridge who had assem-
bled to bid her good-by. She was
placed in the buggy, when the collapse
came, and she passed away before they
had time to remove her from the
vehicle. 1t was at first contemplated
to hold an inquest. A doctor was sum-
moned from Lodi, who reported that
an inquest was unnecessary as the cause
of death was not matter of doubt.
The funeral took place at Woodbridge
on Saturday, the remains finding their
last resting place beside her husband.
Mrs. Smith was better known in this
county as Mrs. Heming, and lived for
many years near Stony creek. The
old homestead stands on the records of
this county in her name. A deed in
favor OF her son George had been made
out and forwarded to her at Stockton
for her signature, only few days before
her death, but somehow the signing
was neglected, with the result that the
estate will have to go through the ex-
pense of probate.

with her married daughter, Mrs. Ben
netts, in Vallejo, and has been there
ever since. She has been gradually de-
clining in health, and two weeks ago
her son William was summoned thither
on account of the alarming condition of
his mother. He returned temporarily
last week, to make arrangements to
leave Jackson permanently, and re-
ported that his mother was better when
he left. Deceased was resident OF
Jackson for many years, and leaves an
estate of several thousand dollars, con-
sisting of the lot on Main street oc-
cupied by Jos. Samuels as a clothing
store, and dwelling houses on Broad
way. She leaves family of four sons
and two daughters, all married. The
funeral took place in Vallejo.
