When she com- 1 pletQjd the journey she seemed stronger and brighter than when she left, an^ j her friends were hopeful that it might prolong her life. On Friday night she wrote her father that she was feeling much better, but on Saturday the news arrived that she had passed away After rising in the morning and while heif cousin was dressing her she was taken with a fainting fit, and a succession of * these carried her away. She was a cheerful girl and a universal favorite among her young companions. Her long * illness was borue with that cheerful for- i titude with which only Christians knoif how to meet trouble and affliction. Tlid 1 cold which settled upon her, and which | ended in consumption, was contracted while attending college, and this she was never able to shake off. A large? crowd gathered at the station Mohday, and the funeral procession on Tuesday was a very large one, testifying to the* respect and esteem with which she was regarded. Mr. Sawyer has the sincere®!-sympathy of the entire community in his sore affliction.”
