MRS. ELIZA JANE SELL,

Wife of Henry Sell. residing near Baust
Church, died on Tuesday, 10th instant, of
consumption, aged 20 years, months and %
DAYS. Her remains were taken to Baust
church, on Friday morning and inferred in
the family lot in the cemetery adjacent to the
church. Rev. j. S. Hartman, of Silver Run,
oficiated, and used for his text, Rev. 21st
chapter and 4th verse. He was assisted by
Rev. G. w. Baughman, of Uniontown. For
many years Mrs. Sell was recognized as the
leading spirit in the church, Sunday school
and in the missionary society. Certain quail
fications of heart and mind fitted her for these
various duties. She was a faithful wife and
mother, and as neighbor her excellent quail.
tiles were too we'll known to admit of any
comment. Benevolence was fundamental
law of her nature, and no one justly in need
was turned empty from her door. That she
was held in high esteem was evidenced by the
large and Borrowing congregation who We'd
with each other, to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to her memory. Many eyes were be-
dimed with tears, as she was consigned to her
last resting place, when they realized that the
living heart was still and the light had gone
out of those eyes we were cheered by the
thought that it was not the end, but only the
beginning, and at last entered into that rest,
and as the language of the text REQUIRED to
ones mind, where ''God will wipe all tears
from our eyes," Her wonderful patience and
sweet resignation in the midst of suffering and
pain, which she bore without complaint for
the past year, fully recognizing the fatal ma
ture of her sickness, yet she was always of a
cheerful and hopeful disposition. May the
Saviour comfort the aged husband and re-
naming children, who have thus been called
upon to give up this loved one. She was the

yestibule Trains for the W. NJ. R. R.

The Baltimore Sun says: TheWestern Mary
land railroad is to be equipped with vesti-
buled passenger train service. 1t has been
decided by the company to veshbule the Blue
Mountain Express, which runs between Balti-
more and Hagerstown, aud the Pen Mar
Express, which is run exclusively for the
accommodation of Baltimoreans going to Pen
Mar, the popular summer resort in the Blue
Ridge mountains. Both trains are only put
on during the summer and are intended to
increase the facilities for reaching the vari-
Gus resorts along the road. :,
This is in line with the policy OF the Gould
interests to supply their roads with the best
and most modern passenger equipment. The
two trains to be vestibuled are largely patron
ized during the summer. Travel to Pen Mar
and the other resorts along the road has greatly
increased during the past few years and the
new trains will greatly improve the service.
Extensive betterments are to be MADE al
Pen Mar Park before the opening OF the sea

In the other three New England States
drunkenness seems to be the besetting sin
of the people, and along with this vice we
have an exhibition of religious bigotry and
intolerance in New Hampshire, of which
Russia has finally become ashamed, and
that is the legal discrimination against one
form of Christianity.
We cannot wonder at the frightful con-
ditions in New England. All the good men
and women of that sectien, ever since they
sold their slaves and were driven from the
