  • Notes 
    • After a lingering and painful battle with rheumatism in its worst form, Mr. James Uttley, son of Mr. Johnathan [sp] Uttley, passed over to the great majority last Tuesday at noon. Having been a sufferer for years, many of the pleasures participated in by young people of his age, were denied him. Entertaining very little hope of recovery, he, nevertheless, kept himself up remarkably well; bore his cross in patience and endeavored to make himself useful. His familiar countenance will be missed by his many sympathizing friends. He had reached the age of 31 years.

      On worldly pleasures we well may frown
      If the end but brings for the cross a crown.
      Though hard to submit, we can forfeit the ease
      Of the world, if the end is "Eternal Peace." 1a
