SUDDEN DEATH. The ven arable Mrs. Mary Tharp died suddenly’at h:r residence on Front Street, last Monday evening, at about half past ten o’clock. She retired for the night in her usual state of health at about 9 o’clock, but rose ■ again about an hoir later to listen to I a loud disturbance at some place i across the river. She returned to bed in a few minutes, still feeling well, but about 15 minutes later called her daughter, Mrs. Lillie Housman. with the information that she was very sick- Mrs. Housmun at once aroused the neighbors, and one df them was sent to summon Dr. Lough ridj?e. The latter happened to be makinga visit to some of his friends, aud something like 30 minutes passed before he rea hed M ' s. Tharp’s bed side, by which time she had been dead for reveral minutes. The cause of her death was apoplexy. She had previously suffered from several attacks of the same disease, and her death, though sudden, was no surprise to her friends. The call to her daughter was the last »ime she ever spoke. Mr*. Tharp whose maiden name was Mary Simmo.ns Hobbs. w< s born in Bethersdon England. Jan. Ist, 1814, thus lacking but a few months of l av* ing attained to the allctsed age of three score and ten She came to America in 1835, and in 1837, at Galleon, Ohio, was married to Amariah S. Tharp. With htr husband she came to Rensselaer in 1845. in or near which place she has ever since resided. She lea es a family of eight daughters and three son’, all grown, and many grandchildren. •

She united with the M. E church at the age of 12 years, and her whale life has been that ot a consistent Christian, and, of 1 ate years tbe Bible has been her constant companion. She often spoke to her children about her future life and said she was only waiting for The Master to call her home. Tbe funeral was held Wednesday at 2 d. m., the serv ces being conducted by the Rev. J.’ J. Claypool. It took place from her residenee, in a very quiet aud unostentatious man ner. in accordance with the, oft-time expressed, wishes of the'deceasedTo the mourning friends of the departed one. we say but this: Mary Tharp has served her time. At, a ripe old age, full of- a firm belief in a blissful immortality, she dies a painless death, and leaves behind her the memory of one whose life was Without blemish, and whom to know was to respect and love. Such a departure is not death but a happy release from thtjpains of existence. Excessive grief, in such circumstances, is uncalled f6r, and unnatural. Dry your tears, torrowing friends, even as she would have them uried * *
