Died—In this town, of typhoid fever, on Monday, 22^nd instant, Mrs. Elizabeth Boon, wife of Col. C. A. Boon, aged 48 years. Her sufferings while on the bed of affliction were severe, yet they were borne without a murmur. And while her bereaved husband and children mourn the death of an affectionate wife and kind mother, and the community the loss of a most estimable lady in all her relations of life, yet they sorrow not as those without hope.

A number of obituaries, tributes of respect, lists of donations, etc., are unavoidably crowded out of this issue. They will appear in our next.
