          One of God's chosen ones has gone from earth. None who knew Mrs. Stearns

         Her sickness was long, and her sufferings at times were excruciating. But she
     exercised at all times Christian patience and submission to the divine attendent. No
     murmur ever escaped her lips.  She was an affectionate wife, a loving daughter and
     sister, and obliging neighbor.  She had been for many years a worthy member of
     the church and we doubt not has gone to join the church triumphant.  May the
     afflicted husband and friends, receive divine consolation in the night of  sorrow.
         In Brownfield, 15th inst., Mrs. Abiah Brown, aged 85 years.
