DIED

In Niles, on the evening of the 30th ult., Mrs. Caroline M, wife of William S. Elliott.

Long impressed with the feeling that her stay on earth would be short, she at length verified a remark of her during her sickness. "My home is not in this world."--And, truly, her dying exercises assured others of her destiny. "Weep not for me; all is well, all is well." "Oh! yes, Jesus is precious--If I could have breath I would tell you how precious! How I would praise him!"  "O Death, where is thy sting?  And five minutes before expiring, she said, "I am going, I am going to Jesus!" These taken from many expressions, suggest the heaven revealed"  Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
