The death of Miss ALICE PHELPS, at one o'clock yesterday, excited more than common attention in this community, where she was so well and favorably known. She was educated in our public schools, in which she afterwards became a teacher, remaining such until near the close of last year. At the early age of twelve she united with the Presbyterian Church, of which she has been a faithful member. Her life was pure and useful, and her death was peace. Her funeral will be attended at the Presbyterian Church to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock.

In this city, February 7th, Miss ALICE A. PHELPS, aged twenty-two years.
Wednesday afternoon the death of Miss Phelps took place. It had been expected, but when it came it seemed sudden. She had grown up in this community, and up to the close of the last term had been for some time a faithful and efficient teacher. Her many amiable qualities attracted to her a large circle of friends. At an early age she became a member of the Presbyterian church, and adorned her life with consistency and faithfulness. It was sad to follow her body to the grave, and many went with sorrow, but the sweet hope of eternal life and its coming reunions caused the thought to arise, "for her to die is gain."
