The building erected by Mr. Allen to rcplace the one destroyed by fire some time ago is certainly a credit to the owner and an object of admiration when compared with suri oundiug buildings.

Died on Tuesday, Feb, JOHAN NA, beloved wife of JOHN KEART, ESQ Aged 28. The clouds by and by will break and fly We shall see the grass where the snow flakes lie. But the hill-sides wave with grain And the loving face at the old home door And the fairy form on the old home floor, Never again.

The buds will sprout, and the blossoms come out; We shall hear happy birds singing about, And the patter of Summer rain; But the gentle footsteps coming near, And the sweet, sweet voice we used to hear, Never again. We shall feel the glow that the noon skies throw, And the tenderer light that charms us so As the tranquil sunsets wane But the hand whose toueh was always soft, And the lips whose kiss was felt so oft, Never again. O'er sea and isle the summer will smile And we may too for a little while, If only to hide our pain But throughout it all we'll think of tbee, And the world will be as it used to be, Never again. The unexpected death of Mrs. John Keary causes sorrow to a large circle of relatives and friends.

Beloved by all who knew her, her loss in the family circle makes a void which can never be filled. Kindness and forbearance were predominant characteristics of her life. She was ever of the same even tem peranient of mind, and the great number who came, even from a distance, to take part in the last sad rites, attest in an eminent degree the high esteem in which she was held. Her funeral took place on Thursday last from St. Vincent's Church Avhore a High Mass of Requiem was sung for the repose of her soul, Rev.

Dr. Wigger olficiatiug. The church was crowded with friends of all denominations who desired to attest alsw their appreciation of her worth. The organ was presided over by Miss Fannie Bowden, and the Dies Irae rendered by the choir. Miss Katie Walsh and Kelly singing in a tender and touching manner the duet Sed Signifer.

The funeral cort6ge began to wend its way to the Cemetery at lO.Sd A. and strictly speaking, it was the largest funeral in respeflt to numbers, that ever took place in Madison a just tribute to a model christian woman. Arrived at the Cemetery the casket was lowered, and she, the fond mother, the loving wife and dutiful christian, was consigned to mother eaith to lemain till the Angel sounds the trump on the last accounting day to call all to judgment. To her bereaved husband in this his hour of dire afidiction we extend our sincerest sympathies, and trust tnat kind Providence will watch over the little ones, alas too young to realize their irreparable loss. The of our street lamps came near losing his life one night last week whilst in the performance of his duties.
