/ Died, irt ihla Borough, on Hie 3d insl at the reel*
dence of her father, Miss Jane Ei.lrn Aqnew, in the
eighteenth year,of llyr age. Wc are rarely culled
upon to record a ifmre benullful example ofyoulhlul
picly, than that furnished hy the subject of this no*
tice. Before she was ten years of age she began in
earnest to seek ChriPl; and t»o dcliculo were her mo*
ru! sensibllilles uViAsi early and often thoughtless
age, that she was grcayfcpuincd at the levity and in*
difference to truth mantfljstcd by her youthful coin
panions.cvedJiyliVefrpUys; and it was her constant
habit, before going'io school in the morning, to retire
for secret prayer, that God might preserve her from
the evils she saw, and deplored in others. When
about twelve years of age she oblahicd’acoinforUble;
hope in Christ during-a revival in the church of
which she died a member. Her last illness was very
lingering and, protracted, and seemed gradually to
purify her nature, until h,cr spirits gknvod vvilhsomo*!
thing of the transpa rcnl lifiglilncijs of the unseen and I
the unutterable.- Bcing and darling daugh- 1
ter, who never had a she had much
to make life, yet thcro has, perhaps,
never been a, more,’perfect Instance of sweet mid
touching will of God, than she pre
sented. Ip a letter 'o.thc writer, during the last win
ter, she sald The days I may sily.tho months, 1
have spent in'my sick room, havo been to mo the
pleasantest part of my llfei Here, all alone, I can
commune with God; My cough is tho worst, but
there are many who hud a worse one; and when Je
sus suffered so much for me, I should not complain,
fie gives mo patience to await his will. He has ta
ken mo from tho world,and placed mc in a sick room;
but I cm glorify him ns much by stiffhring hero, as
if I were onl in tho world. , And theri%flwt-much
feweraro the tempt at tuns here,-how much mHbr the
faith to rcsUlThein.” : During hcr
lay her hand on her heart atid her father,
'* The witness is liorcpall ia peace; wdep not for mo,
hut rejoice with mo for I am going home.” . To a
dyar friend she' said, “ I want to tell you how pro*
clous Jesus is to -my soul; as my bodily strength
fails, 1 find him still dearer to me. I am afraid I sin
m the strong desire I have to depart, but U Is not to
bo freed from pain, hut to bo with Jesus.” She suf.
fored from hunger and thirst for near two days, be*
ing unable to swallow, and when asked il she was
hungry, replied, smiling, “ Yes, hut I shall soon bo
where there is do hungering or thirsting,” The Sab
bath before her death she said, “This is my last Sab
bath on earth, tho next T will spend in heaven, where
the Sabbath has no end.” A little while before her
death, when she was sinking rapidly, her father said
to her, ” My dear yon are now on tho brink of Jord
an, how do you fed 7” Laying her hand on her
breast, she said, "Christ Is hero all Is well." When
| asked if she retained the faculties of her, mind, she
replied, " Yes, brighter nnd brighter.” When ilwns
thoughUlhat the power of speech was gone, she
suddenly oxclalfftled, in n clear and distinct voice, ”1
am a King’s, daughter ; not an earthly king’s but
Kmg Jcaus Having said these words; she sweet
ly (ell asleep. Her Ufa was a lovely exhibition of the

Notice to Tax Payees.
UNDER tho provisions of tho act of 1844; any
county paying into the Slate Treasury, the Slate
tax levied on such county, prior to tho 15th of July
in any year; itf ortllilod ttfafl abatement of 3 per cent,
on the amount so paid.
The undersigned, Cotrimtoeloners of Cumberland
cohnly,.!!!. view of the above provisions,' consider ill
equitable and, proper that those, wljo by (he prompt
payment of their taxes prior to the above dolc.cn.
able (ho Treasurer to pay over llic’Slalo lax, so as to
receive tho aforesaid abatement of 5 per coni, the
benefit of which has hitherto boon engaged by tho
citizens of the county generally, should be allowed a
deduction of th»( amount by Iho oullcctor—have au
thorized (lie different collectors to Inalto said.abate*
ment from the State (ax, in nil onsos whore the State
and County lax is paid to tho ou/lcotor. prior to tho
Islh of July, iB4Bi wiea.sald abatement snail amount ,
to one dent or iriofc; no fractions of a fconl to bo crc*
dited«
Since (ho act of .1844, tho Oommisaionnrs have
paid tho Slate tax o‘f this county annually to tho
Stole Treasurer, within tho lime prescribed hy tho
act, and the codnty has received tho benefit of an
abatement, of five pei cent, thereon, hut to moot said
payment they have found it necessary heretofore to
appropriate a part of the courtly funds to meet the
deficiency occasioned hv delinquents, until tho bah
anco qf the State lax .was collected. It therefore bo.
comes necessary to retire tho payment of both
State and-County to* | p entitle the payor to tr.o
aforesaid nhfttetnpnt, upon the afoiesaid'Slalo Tax. ,
. 1 ynuorsigned therefore confidently anticipate l
that tno oboyo arrangement, nnd.tho'further Induce,
mont of enabling Cumhorlond county to maintain
the character for promptness and fidelity which she
htts acquired in tho discharge of her obligations to
tho Commonwealth, will Induce every citizen to die
