OBITU ARY RECORD. "In the midst of life we are in death." DIED, In this borough, on Sunday last. MARGERY M'MURTRIE, in the 30th year of her age, [COMMUNICATED.] Death has laid his icy hands on her whose spirit has gone to that undiscovered country from whose b sum no traveller returns. By •this severe dispensation, the bright hopes of life were suddenly blighted, and although the weeping eye and sighing heart may f •nd ly cling around the grave of the deceased, yet the remembrance of her memory and virtues will be a som•ce of pleasing reflectiot,. She whose death hos cast so deep a gloom u'er a large circle of relatives and friends was beloved for whatever is amiable in fe male character.—She whose remains have been committed to the cold and silent tomb, vas highly esteemed, not only for her good item of heart, but also for her early and warm embrace of christianity. Religion was her, sole hope., supported by it, site submitted with jhristlau resignation go The pains of a long and !ilgeriiig illness If tranquility of mind and a sCring assurance that religion is the one thing neecintl, be any evidence that the brightness of the future world beamed upon her soul, then may we fondly hope that her spirit has winged its flight to a brighter state of existence.
