The great event of the past week was the
meeting of the Ladies’ Mite Society, at the
residence of Mrs. James Dean. It was truly
an enjoyable affair and there is but one opin-
ion that it was in every respect a pleasant
meeting. The amiable host and hostess cn-
deavored to render the meeting in their cozy
retreat at once attractive and profitable, as,
regards the object for which they metl Some
fiuc singing was had, in which the sweet voice
of the fair hostess was heard above the din
and noise of the more juveniieparty, who in
games, play, and innocent‘rocreation whiled
away the hours.
. The Congregational church was well filled
to listen to a discourse by the pastor on the
subject of “True Female character and the
sphere of-iVoman.” There was some excel-
lent singing by the choir, under the leader-
ship of Prof. A. S. Jarvis. IIis accomplished
daughter presides al the organ. By-the-way,

style, —he addressed them in plain but. we trust
profitable language, as regards their spiritual
welfare.

D1ED.——At-hcr residence, Sunday evening,
Jan. 30, Mary J ., wife of Elijah S. Downes,
in the 43d year of her ago. By the death of
this estimable lady, alight which beamed no
uncertain rays in the household, the social]
circle and the church, has gone out. Seldom
has there occurred in this community a death
which so startled by its suddcnncss. In ap-
parently perfect health on the (lay of her do-
mise, with every‘faculty unimpaired, and pos
sessing at all times a joyous spirit, she, of all
others seemed likely to be the last'upon whom
the mantle ,of the dread messenger would
fall. During Sunday she had been very
happy, and, rcturing from Memorial church
that evening whither she had been with her
family, she greetedsuch friends as she met
with usual warmth. Little did she or they
dream that those mutual greetings were for
her, to be the last. A few hours later came
the summons to depart. Passing from sight
ere reaching her prime, the fact that she is
dead cannot be fully realized. The funeral
ceremonial occurred Wednesday afternoon at
Memorial church, Rev. A. N. Lewis, assisted
by Rev. Joe. R. 'Williams, officiating. Ap-
priate music by the choir helped to express
the sadness in the hearts of a large congrega-
tion. The burial took place in Christ Church
cemetery.
The Rev. Mr. Lewis preached a sermon
appropriate to the occasion from St.Mark,
XIII, 37: “Watch. ” - ’
In referring to the deceased, the preacher
spoke as follows:
“In the midst of life we are in death. On
Sunday last, morning and evening, she whose
a devout and attentive worsliiper. She was
apparently in full health and strength. She
returned to her home at the close of divine
service, retired as usual, and without warn-
ing or premonition, just before the hour of
midnight ceased to breathe. - ,
Many J osnrmxr. PERRY, third daughter of
Ormndo Perry, was born in Easton, Aug. 11,
1838. She was married March 2d 1853, to
Elijah S. Downes, Esq, and died at West-
pOrt, Jan. 3001,1876, aged 42 years, 7 months
and 20 days.
Baptized in infancy, and confirmed soon
after her marriage, she has ever been a devout
communieant of the church. Of her inner
religious life, it is not fitting that I should
speak. Thus much, however, I may say,
without violating the confidence she reposed
in her pastor,—she was eminently a woman
of prayer. Her religious convictions were
strong and abiding.- She loved the church,
and was an earnest and deVoted worker in the
yarious departments of benevolence. She
was humble and self-depreciating in judging
her own character, and charitable in her esti-
mate of others.
If I were called upon to designate her most
distinguishing traits, I should mention these;
tender-heartedness and ejection. She could
not bear to give pain, or to hear a friend or
neighbor censured. Reproach, ridicule, and
even good-natured satire, were distasteful to
her. She always dared to defend an absent
friend against the pttack of calumny or ii]-
nature. ' _
She was a loving wife and tender .mother.
She loved children because they were child-
ren, and would oftentimes turn aside to pick
up and kiss a child she had never seen before.
She never could understand how any person
could dislike children, and no wonder, for
Jesus said: “ Of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven.”
She thought much and deeply on Death’
and Eternity. I can never forget. her earnest-
ness of manner, as she said to me oneday
with clasped lumds and tearful eyes, “Oh! I
do want to get to l-lcaven !” .
Nor did her anxiety spend itself upon her
own condition. She prayed and trembled—x—
how often and how earnestly none but 'God
knows—for the salvation of those who were
near and dear to her. May we not believe
that those prayers will be answered? ‘
One week ago, yesterday, I stood in this
place. to perform the last sad offices over the
remains of a respected citizen and neighbor.
Little did I then expect to stand horciigain,
so soon, by the coffin of this beloved wife and
mother. Who of us is to be taken next?
\Vho, before another week or another year
rolls round is to experience the dread realities
of eternity ‘8 It may be he who new address-
es you, and urges you, as you value your im-
mortal souls to “ Watch!” It may be one of
those whose silvery hair botoken that they
are ripening for the grave. It may be the
man or woman, who tho’ half life’s course is
run, still looks upon death as a far-011' contin-
goncy, possible, but not probable. It may be
the young'fman or young woman, who isiook-
mg forward withallthc hope and buoyancy of
youth, to a long and happy life. It may be
the little boy or girl who stands on tip-toe to
gaze upon the face of the dead. \Vhenever,
however, and to. whomever the grim tyrant
shall _come God grant he may not find him
sleeping. ‘

seriousness in those I: am addressing. The
suddemiess of the stroke, the touching cir-
cumstances under Which these loving hearts
have been called to mourn, have awakendd
deep emotions of sympathy, and may I not
say solemnity. If this visitation of God’s
providence shall have excited in our hearts
new and abiding resolutions of repentance
and amendment,—if this sudden death shall
have awakened any of the careless and impen-
itont to a sense of their danger,-of a truth
we may say “It is better to go to the house
of mourning than to the house of feasting,
for that is the end of all men, and the living
will lay it- to his heart.”

oversight while using the tape line, the tailor
marked 62, and, the stgip being, being nearly
six inches too short, will not encircle the
wearer, unless he belays it under his chin, or
guys it at a point lower than tiic fashion.

Mr. Levi Jennings, who lives mean the

when the animal reared and fell upon him
breaking‘ his left leg below the knee.
The Middle Ground Lightship which dis-
appeared during the gale on Wednesday, has
not been found. 'We are informed that the
vessel had been in bad repair for some time
past, and that during rough weather she
leaked badly. If this is true there are strong
probabilities that she has gone down. There
were five men on board.
Chief Marsh went to \Vestport, a few days
ago, to arrest Stephen and Charles Alden and
Celeste Richards, on a charge of perjury.
The latter was found and arrested, but the
others were not at home, and the Chief loft
word that he would call again. Yesterday
they came to this city and gave themselves
up, and were released on bonds. Some time
ago a man named Birdsall was tried in the
Superior Court on a charge of theft at
the instance of these two Aldous. He was
acquitted, and it is now claimed that the par-
ties arressted were guilty of perjury in that:
trial. . ’
The schooner Undine, Captain Stokes,from
Boston to New York with a cargo of granite,
was driven to sea from Nantaskct Roads on
Saturday afternoon last, and so heavy was the
gale that a six ton block of granite on deck
rolled over and started the vessel leaking
ba _ly. The vessel was abandoned at noon on
S day, and sunk soon after. The captain
and crew. after a terrible experience of
twenty-eight hours in an open boat, reached
Nantucket. They were all badly frozen.
The Undine belonged in Portland, Conn.,and
was twenty-five years old. The granite was
consigned to Ellis, iVarrren & Co.,lof this
city, and a portion of it was intended for the
monument of Mr. Rowland, of Southport.
There was no insurance on the granite, and
the loss will fall upon Ellis, Warren & Co.
