Her last illness was short; of only three days continuance; but very painful. A singular coincidence occurred in the death of this aged pair. Mr. Adams having died one year and seven days previous, very suddenly. Mrs. Adams was a member of the Baptist church. Her end was peaceful, o'er death triumphant.

The slow but sure approach of his relentless destroyer was borne through months of lingering sickness, with the calm resignation of a manly heart, subdued and softened by the kindly offices and attention of devoted friends; and in his last hours, the consolations of a holy religion, affected to him and to his relatives and friends a substantial alleviation of the untold sorrows which gather thick about the bed of death. During his life he was uniformly esteemed for his industry and business habits and for social qualities which endeared him to his friends and companions, and his death will be felt and lamented throughout the wide circle in which he was known Norwich Journal.

Deaths
At Willington (Conn.) on the 2d inst. Miss Olive P. Rider daughter of Hon. Hiram Rider and late preceptress of the Norwich Academy, aged 30 years.
Can it be that she is dead, who but one short year ago was with us as our loved and respected teacher? Aye, 'tis even so. She had fled from earth in all its beauty and loveliness to that better land, where the blighting frost, the fading leaf are never known. she has left an earthly for a heavenly home, and shall we mourn? Nay, for tho' the casket be shattered, the gem is secure. But we may weep, for Jesus wept. Our tears are but the tribute nature brings and they befit earth's pastings. But let us not forget that while she guided our minds in the pursuit of knowledge, she bade us seek that wisdom which cometh from above, and may her parting words echo in our ears.
