Seri e find the following notice
of the death of Rev. ALBERT Tarr, in the New
York 4angelist. Mr. Tarr. was - quite well
known in this county, having married his wife,
Miss 11+ta T. Prrcura, in Warren townshit
A few weeks before his death he paid a visit
the family of Judge Monaow, in this place :
ANcrrrtFa Manrrn Cnowszn.—"Tellbur peo
ple I haYe laid down my life to set Christ before
them, that they might be reconciled to God."
Such was the message sent by a dying pastor
to his loYed and loving people.
Rev. At Tara was born in Owego. New
York, 04t. 30, 1839. At a very early age he
gave evidence of having learned of Jesps, and
ever after cherished the purpose; of preaching
Christ tp a lost world. After „graduating at
- Williams College, and Auburn Seminary, he
entered ;the ministry at the age of twenty-five.
Immetliately - aftei leaving' the Seminary, he
took charge of the. Presbyterian church in Ce
dar Falls, lowa, where be labored successfully
for aborit two years, when he was forced by ill
ness to return to-the east. May Ist, 1860, he
commenced laboring with the church iti El.
bridge. N. Y. his ministry there was greatly
blessed,l unusual harmony prevailed, and a
goodly number was added to the church. i
Durini: the week of prayer of the present
year, ankl for weeks after Ward in special meet
ings, liellabored unceasingly. His anxiety' for
the impenitent was such that he could say with
Pant, •• have great heaviness and continual
sorrow in my heart." The spring following
these.-extra labors found him tnuch worn in
mind - I'nd body, and yet ho felt that he conld
not rests for no stranger could know jest what
was needed by his people at such a time. And
so he worked on until the first Sabbath morn
ing in-April. when he was forced to leave his
discourse unfinished, sinking .-down 'from sheer
exhaustion. The weeks and months following
were filled up with wearisome days and nights
of suffering. Much of the time he was away
from the home and the people he loved so
much, trying according - to the advice of physi
cians to 'obtain strength by change and entire
freedom i from care. Meanwhile prayer without
ceasin was offered for his recovery. But the
will of God wastotherwise. After intenso gut
feritig, but supported all the time- by a most
trminphant faith, he fell asleep in Jesus at Sa
rafriga Springs, Oct. 18, 1871.
Thus cyod has taken from earth one who was
remarkably successful in presenting truth, and
whose heart was fully in his work. Thus a
rhnrch ip alMOst disheartened, and ready to
ex..laim, "God bath forgotten." Thus the light
has gone out of one at earth's happiest hotnes.
Thus heiorlio seemed' eminently fitted for the
w , •rk of 6 - inning souls. ie at the early age of
thirty-tsvo transferred to the work of Heaven.
"For my thoughts are not, your thoughts.
neither aro your ways my ways, isith the Lord.'

After th 6 location of the site, a plan or map of
