FUNERAL OF MRS. RAUGH.

  The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. David Raugh, who died 
of consumption on Friday night last, were held in the Lutheran church 
yesterday at 7:30 A.M., Rev. E. Dutt officiating.  After the conclusion 
of the services the remains were taken to her family's burying-ground 
near Williamsburg for interment.  Mrs. Raugh was a most estimable lady 
and enjoyed the esteem of the community to an enviable degree.  For 
some time past she has been suffering from consumption, but bore her 
affliction with Christian resignation until summoned to that land where 
suffering is unknown.  Deceased was a consistent member of the Lutheran 
church and leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss.
