From the Free Methodist: Maria B. Newell was called home on Tuesday the 7th inst. death having invaded our family circle. Sister Newell died in holy triumph. She had often expressed a wish that she might die of consumption and the Lord granted her desire. She was a member of our family for over five years. She endeared herself to us by her godly life and her conscientious discharge of every duty. whatever she did, she did it as unto the Lord. In everything she served the Lord Christ. Some eight years ago she was given up of Physicians to die of consumption, but by the blessing of God, she regained her health, the constitutional tendency, however, remaining. Last fall she was taken down again, but at times she was greatly helped and appeared to grow better. She kept about the house to the last. The morning of her death she walked downstairs, but about noon she began to fail rapidly. Through the night her sufferings of body were great, and at six in the morning she gently fell asleep in Jesus. She was a joyous Christian, serving the Lord with gladness and often shouting forth praises. Her end was not merely peaceful but triumphant, for when in the agonies of death, she would often burst out into loud praises to God. "Tell everybody" She said "to do right and do no wrong." a maxim which we had never heard her express, but which she always carried out in her life. Once, when to appearance she was almost over, a most heavenly smile light up her countenance and she softly whispered, "pretty, pretty." She will be greatly missed in the family, in the church and by the poor, but our loss is her gain. B.F. Roberts.
The subject of the above notice was a daughter of Horace Newell, of North Norwich, in this county [Chenango Co. NY], and 33 years of age at her decease. She was born and brought up in Smyrna, where she lived until she was 20 years of age, when she removed to Norwich and resided there a number of years. Finally, she went to Rochester and made her home in the family of Eld. Roberts, with whom she resided at the time of her death.
Drowning of Orson K. Smith in California: We have been favored with the account of the probable drowning of Orson K. Smith, in February last between Morro Bay and the Cayucas. Mr. S. formerly resided at North Pitcher [Chenango Co. NY] and was the son of Zira and Anna Smith of that place and grandson of Dea. Timothy Hatch, of Sherburne. His age was 51 years. He left Cambria on the 17th of February for San Luis Obispo, in a wagon drawn by two horses. It is supposed that he followed the beach, which obliged him at a certain point of rocks to go into the water which may have been high at the time, and engulphed him. The wagon and some papers were washed ashore at this place. The unfortunate man was highly esteemed and had been a sheriff, deputy sheriff, and a member of the legislature of Tulare County in 1857 and 1861. He has been a resident of Cambria since 1866.
