And she said that they did do ail of I htm, both"; Then she (fay me a book and told nift to rad All about it ; to which 1 most quickly agreed.

To our friend we offer sincere and heartfelt sympathy in his great and untimely bereave ment. The loss of a loving- and beloved wife at any time is indeed at sad dispensation, but when ouo is taken away in tho very spring-time of life and from the enjoyment of domestic felici ty in its happiest and most promisinyr aspect, the poignancy of the afliicliou is frrcatly en hanced." .Airs. McFeely was all that a faithful wife, mother, friend and neighbor could tie, and having lived an earnest and devout member of the Catholic Church, she died in the lull hope of a peaceful eternity, leavinir a bereaved hus band to mourn her enrly death and an infant child to miss tho fond caress aud tender care which only a mother can bestow. May she rest in peace. A DMINISTHATOirS NOTICE. -V- Kstatc of F. J. BAP.nEtticx., dee'd. Letters of Administration on the estate of F. J.
