Her illness was of but brief dura tion lasting but two hours, and was apparently painless. The funeral services occurred on Tues day in St Louis, where the remains were interred. At the home of her son-in-law in the city, H. C. Langdon. on Wed nesday morning, August 26th, Mrs. Caroline B. Donehower, acred 92 years, passed into the land beyond the grave. Death came quietly and appar ently tree from pain, as the spirit of the deceased passed away while the family were sleeping, no pre vious indications of her early dis solution being visible.

A PASTOR'S -jcASZWZLL The following are the closing words of 3ev. J. C. Irwin to the Presbyterian congregation spoken after sermon on Sabbath of last week: I want to sav this morninjr what I haye not had the opportun ity of saying before. "My work with you has come to an end, and I presume you have long ere this ceased to tjiink of me as your pas tor. In the providence of God my plans were disarranged, my pur poses were disappointed. I had not contemplated closing my work here so soon; in fact I had come to love this church and you people so much that the thought of leaving you on my own account was not thought of. t Your kindness and consideration from the day I came among you until the day of my res ignation never seemed to fail; in fact it seemed to grow as the years passed. No man could ask more of a people in any way than you have given me in every way. I rejoice to oeiieve tnat we nave had your confidence, and have it still; when we leave North Platte I believe we snail leave many irienas. s a familv we each one shall remember the years spent with you as pleas ant ones in our lives. I do not feel that I have been -worthy of what you have done for me; but I trust as vou have done it unto one of the least of the Lords children, you have done it to Him, and that His richest blessings shall be yours. Whatever I have been able to ac complish among you has been largely due to the co-operation, sup port and encouragement you have at all times given me: and what ever,my successor shall be able to do will be due to the same. I ask you now for the sake of God's cause, tor tue saKe or tuis aear church, for the sake of the people of this city -to turn your attention to him. I should decrease and he should increase in your thoughts; receive him as vou received me, be to him what you have been to me; and I believe the Lord will continue -to-blessvou., Let . him . have yourj confidence and affection, believe that you have the best pastor in the state; talk favdrably of him ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
