len . ce , and exemplary piety . His illness altogether was of considerable duration , and of a most painful nature ; and yet it was pleasing , though affecting , to behold the patience and fortitude , the composure , and even cheerfulness , with which he bore his
long and almost incessant sufferings , emittinglTo ^ ighTiItteTm ^ o ^ Hurmur , but perfectly resigned to the will of heaven ; until , at length , the man being conquered , though the Christian triumphed , he gently breathed out his soul into the hands of him who gave it , and calmly fell asleep in Jesus .

Died , on Wednesday February 15 th , in the ninetieth year of her age , Mrs . Sarah Aldred . This venerable and hi ghly-respected lady was daughter of the Rev . John Aldred , who , more than half a century ago , was minister of the Presbyterian chapel , in Westgate , Wakefield . Few indeed are now among the number of her earlier
friends ; but by those ihat remain , she has ever been affectionately re * garded ; and not less so hy { hose whom later years have broughtwffhin the circle of her acquaintance . She was , indeed , respected by ail who knew her , and her memory will long be recalled with satisfaction and pleasure . Truly pious , and beneficent to the full extent , of her means , to her
may be applied the descriptive language of sacred writ : — ' She delivered the poor that cried , and him that had none to help him . ' Few persons can be said to enjoy life to a greater extent than did the subject of this brief notice ; nor can there be greater
evidence of the value of religious principles , and of an habitual practical regard to them , than the composure with which she was able to anticipate that eventful period , when that life , however extended , which is short and transitory , must be exchanged for one which will be interminable and
everlasting . She possessed her faculties almost in lively exercise until a few clays before her death ; and , with

On Sunday , February 19 , departed this life , Mary Heywood , eldest daughter of the Rev . Eliezer Heywood , formerly minister of the Old Chapel , Mansfield . This" excellent lady was distinguished for the
frankness with which she avowed the pure and simple doctrines of the gospel , which had been early impressed upon her mind , and for the consistency with which she acted upon them through the varying scenes of a long and useful life . The readiness with which
she exerted herself for the benefit of others displayed the benevolence of her disposition , and often effectually contributed to the welfare and happiness of those whom she wished to serve . A life uniformly devoted to the strict discharge of duty , closed , as might be expected , with tranquillity and peace . Her departure might justly be described as falling into a serene and gentle sleep , from which ,
doubtless , she will awake to a glorious immortality . Her surviving and mourning friends have all the consolation which arises from a knowledge of the excellence and consistency of her character , and from the assurance , that in a future state , the attachment of virtuous minds will be renewed and perfected , and their union be indissoluble , uninterrupted , and everlasting . John Williams . Mansfield , March 3 , 1 . 832 .
