DIED
In this city, at the residence of her grandfather, Thomas Denniston, on Tuesday evening last, Miss ALICE DENISTON, in the 18th year of her age.
Miss Denniston was an amiable and interesting young lady, and was much esteemed by all who knew her. Her mother died about three years ago, and since then she has had the care of a younger brother and sister over whom she has watched with peculiar devotion in one so young. The perfect calmness with which she spoke of death was a beautiful illustration of that faith which looks beyond the grave for that happiness which this life cannot give.

The funeral of Miss Alice Denniston was largely attended at the Methodist Church, on Thursday afternoon. The arrangement and display of flowers in and around the altar was very effective and beautiful. The casket was literally covered with floral tributes--pure, white blossoms, relieved by the delicate green of geranium leaves.
