DIED:

HAMILTON - On the 17th inst., of consumption, Miss Mattie J. Hamilton,
daughter of Jonathan and Mary Hamilton, in the 24th year of her age.

The deceased was a member of one of our best and most highly respected
families.  She was also a member of the First Presbyterian Church of
this city.  To an unusual amiability of disposition were added the
graces of the Christian character.  Her piety was not demonstrative,
but sincere.  And so, when death came he had no terrors for her.
Funeral services were held at the house of her father on Friday, the
19th inst., at 2 o'clock P. M., and then her remains, followed by a
numerous company of friends and relations, were borne to Fairview
Cemetery, and laid in the tomb, in hope of a glorious resurrection and
a blessed immortality.

Loved by all in life, and mourned by all in death, her departure has
caused a void in a large circle of friends.  But though we miss her
presence below, we rejoice to think that she is now with the great
family of redeemed ones above.  "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away; and blessed be the name of the Lord."
