OBITUARY RECORD.

DIED - In Duncansville, on Sunday, the 16th inst. Of Puerperal 
Apoplexy, Sarah, consort of Geo. W. M'Bride, and youngest daughter of 
Joseph Patton, Esq. - aged 23 years.
 Of an amiable and lovely disposition, and in possession of a mind of 
no ordinary caste, she was esteemed and beloved in the varied relations 
of life which she sustained. Her death has not only filled with sadness 
and sorrow a circle of relatives, but a community mourns. In the prime 
of life, her pilgrimage on earth has terminated; that brow on which sat 
the bloom of sunny youth, and radiant beauty, now lies low, wreathed 
with the cold snows of death. How true it is that death loves a shining 
mark! She has left friends who feel themselves called upon to pass 
thro' the deep waters of affliction - in their hearts a tender cord is 
sundered, - an affectionate consort and a beloved sister and daughter 
is taken from the family circle. But let them reflect that their loss 
is her infinite gain.
 Her remains were interred on Monday in the family burying ground, 
attended by a numerous concourse of sympathizing friends. - Reg.
