Esq. of Darlington, aged 5 years three months and twenty three days. Although she was sorely afflicted, yet she bore up under all her sufferings with a composure and resignation, which would well become a saint of three score years and ten-standing on the very banks of Jordan; and just waiting to pass over. Happy child, they days are ended, Thy short pilgrimage is o'er; Gone, by Heavenly guards attended, To be here on Earth no more. Farewell sweet child, farewell, In heavenly mansions roam; Take, take her soul, with thee to dwell, Yes, take thy little exile home. Died-on the 2d September inst.

July 11, 1834 Obituary Died in Brighton, Beaver Co Penna on the 29th June, of Pulmonary Consumption MARY ANN, daughter of HENRY SIMS, aged 29 years. The deceased was originally gifted with a mind of superior order, which she diligently cultivated and improved by study and reflection,-naturally open and generous in her disposition, she possessed a peculiar sweetness and urbanity of manners, and was a person of the finest sensibility.-In her was seen the dutiful child, the affectionate sister, and the warm and faithful friend. Her chief excellence and that which crowned all the rest, was her uniform and exemplary piety. She in early life became a member of the Methodist society;-hers was the religion of the heart, it was not a sort of morality too often and too fatally mistaken for religion-it deeply interested affections, it was a powerful principle which pervaded her life, and directed her conduct, a religion that sustained and consoled her in the hour of trial and deep affliction, and in the prospect of death raised her completely above its terrors.-Her death was as might have been expected from her holy life-it was peaceful and happy-altho'in her last moments she could converse but little, yet she remembered her friends that were particularly dear to her, and with great composure of mind distributed to them the mementos of her love, and gratitude. Her loss will long and deeply be felt through the whole circle of her numerous acquaintances and friends to whom she was so much endeared. Died, on the 8th inst.
