Again has the archer shot his fatal dart into our midst, and cut down, in the prime of life a lovely and beloved member of the Presbyterian Church of Dunlap's Creek. —Mrs. Miranda Swan, consort of Presly Swan, died at the residence of her father, Mr. John Hibbs, on the 5th inst. Her disease was the rapid form of pulmonary consumption. She has left an afflicted husband and five young children to mourn their early and irreparable loss. To her death's sudden approach did not seem a surprise. Obedient to the divine injunction she appeared to have her "house set in order." Dying with her was truly like going home, such was the heavenly tranquility that reigned around her and pervaded her mind through all her last sickness. It was the edifying close of a truly Christian life, in which divine race wrought out its befitting fruits. — She had selected as expressive of her views and feelings in the prospect of her change, to be sung at her funeral service, that beautiful hymn —
"I would not live alway: I ask not to stay

"Many fall as sudden, not as safe/" In the contemplation of her peaceful end, once can hardly refrain from the exclamation, "O that I might died the death of the righteous,: &c. Communicated
