T., where her remains await her Master's call on the resurrection morning. - She was a devoted wife, a loving companion, and was appreciated by all who knew her. Her demise was not a surprise, as she had for several days been strangely impressed that the end was near. She expressed a willingness to go, if the Master willed it so. -She leave a heart-broken husband and grief-stricken loved ones to rear their little boy. It is seldom one witnesses a scene so sad, as the one at her obsequies. It was so sad that scarcely any one in the large audience was not moved to tears. -To the God of sympathy and love we commend the bereaved husband and relations. Her race is run and cares and toils have ceased to annoy. She waits and watches for the coming of those who wait and suffer still. ---J. F. Tyson, P. C.
