DIED.

In this place, on the 15th inst., of Bronchial Consumption, Miss Mary
Ann McCormick.

Thrice within a short time has death entered the little circle of
which the deceased was a member. First a daughter and sister, a lovely
christian, was called, cut down like a rose in full bloom, by the same
fell destroyer, consumption. Then death laid his hand upon the husband
and father. His sickness was protracted and painful, afflicted as he
was by cancer. Now the third time the Master comes and lays his hand
upon the elder of the two remaining daughters and sisters, leaving the
widowed mother and a sister and brother to mourn their loss. But they
mourn not as those who have no hope. The deceased had for a
considerable time been a consistent member of the christian church,
and died in the full triumphs of the christian's faith. Her last words
were, "Lord Jesus come quickly." The evidence of a peaceful death and
the index to a happy, glorious immortality. - COM.
