A. Hutton, North Broad street Philadelphia. She was the grandmother of the editor of the DeMocrat, and was well known by the older people of Bellefonte and vicinity, She had renched the age.of 80 years, 3 months snd 3 days. Mrs, Bible was the daughter of Enoch Passmore, who eame to this county from Chester coun- ty nbout the year 4800, Her family were English Quakers and settled in Chester county at an early day. She was born in Boggs township, in 1807, at what is known locally as the Old Passmore’ place below Milesburg. She leaves a husband, two sons three daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren, to mourn her death, Mrs, Bible possessed of a remarkably bright intel lect and was perfectly clear in ber mind up until the time of her dissolu- tion. Her memory was remarkable, and never failed her, With the and traditionary history of this county she was perfectly familiar and has en of with reminescences of the early history of the Bald Eagle. She witnessed when a girl the hanging of Monks for the murder of Reuben Giles, and remem- bered Monk's poem which often repeated about rural firesides alter Monks had paid the penalty of his crime, She passed peacefully to that bourne from which no traveler e'er re- turns, a christian lady, a loving wife and a fond The separation between the deceased and her husband was local tertained for hours the writer this, Wis mother, can be easier imagined than described, had shared each others burdens, joys and sorrows, as man sod wife, and those years were For over sixly years they simgulacly free from anythiog even bor- dering on ill nature towards each other. Jefore she died, she sent her love to sll her relatives and about the last words she uttered as her sorrowing children and husband “stood around home.” her were “1 am going Yes truly she was going home, a more beautiful etample of 8 well spent christian life can not be found. Every concern of her life was for the welfare -of others and while confined to her bed, wracked with pain, her mind was constantly exs ercised about her husband who was ill at the same time. It is a source of great satisfaction to her children to know that she died conscious to the last, and sure of eternal rest. Death loses its sting, the grave its victory, when we can say with the dear old lady “1 am going home.” The faneral will take place from 113 North Broad street and the body will be laid to its final rest in Ever Green cemetery. ~The production of “Human Nature” at Humes Hall on last Friday night wes witnessed by a fair sized sudience, The sudience was kept in an uproar of laughter by William Payne, who took the part of “Juniper,” an eccentric Etheopian, and as a negro impersonator ne was a ruccess, Richard O'Gorman, as “Salem Peabody,” was very good, and contributed largely to the amuse- ment of the sudience, T. J. Rook, as “Vanderbilt Blobbe, a lightning rod agent,” maintained his part well, whise Mrs. Alice Payne ms “Abundance Peabody” a terror to Salem, ww quite a success. Miss Nellie DeVere, as “Triz,” was a favorite, and eon- tributed largely to the success of the play. The other members also took their parts scoeptably. The make-up in “Human Netare” from a profession al point of view must have pleased and satisfied the large and select audience. It was perfection of dressing in the cher- acter, “Human Nature” wes delineated not only by Richard O'Gorman, but by every member of his strong and strictly professional company, in a way that made the andience laugh to split their sides. The specialties of Mr. Payne were encored till he could only ask to be excused, and little Trix's song was well rendered by a full rich contralto voice. Few betler actresses in the juvenile line than Trix (Miss Nellie De Vere.) The play seems too light, but that is simply because it is Loo true to Human Nature—if that is a fault. The band snd orchestra was also very fine. «A reunion of the First Rifle Regi- ment, P. RV, C.
