Died.

WINKLER - In this city, on the 6th inst., Sarah, daughter of George and 
Etta Winkler, aged 8 years, 11 months and 10 days.
  The funeral will take place from the residence of the parents, on 
Ninth avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, on Thursday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
    Lay the sod lightly
      Over her breast,
    Calm be her slumbers,
      Peaceful her rest.
    Beautiful, lovely,
      She was but given,
    A fair bud to earth,
      To blossom in heaven.

A Sad Death.

  Sarah Winkler, daughter of George Winkler, was buried yesterday 
afternoon from her parents' residence, on Ninth avenue, near Twentieth 
street.  Her death resulted from inflammation caused by too hard 
playing jumping rope, etc.  The little girls should not try how many 
times they can jump without stopping, as it is very dangerous to their 
health when indulged in to such an extent.
