Died July 29th at East Villa, the residence of thier grand-father Joseph Culver, Esq. MINNIE CULVER, aged nine months and five days, and August 2d her twin sister CARRIE LOUISA, children of Prof H C and Jennie C Cheston. Lent for a brief period that two fond hearts might taste the bliss of parental love. He whose gifts they were has seen fit to call them to a higher and holier life. Their short race is run and the goal reached in the very first dawn of life's morning, and yet we feel that they have not lived in vain; amid the sorrow that settled about us as we laid them together among the flowers with which gentle hands adorned their beautiful clay, we are cheered with the Christian hope of the Resurrection, and know that even now their spirits are mingling with the ransomed ones above, and inciting us to seek them there; for faithful is he whose voice of celestial sweetness greets us with the words, Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
