FROM NEWBERN--DEATH has again visited us, taking away the wife of Dennis GAULDEN, three miles southwest of Newbern; one of the fond friends who stood around the dying agonies of the wife of Polk HARRIS, her nearest neighbor. She returned home and after doing the washing of her family, was taken dangerously ill. She was attended by two physicians that ministered all the aid they could command in the healing art, and many kind friends visited her and did all that love could prompt, yet after lingering a few days, she died. The Grange performed the burial rites; the funeral was preached by HUNSACKER. Never have I seen such a sadder funeral. She leaves two small children, with her husband, who is inconsolable at his loss. Few ladies have made truer friends in the short time of her married life. As brethren and sisters of the Grange at Newbern, while we drop a tear of sympathy over the early grave of our sister, let us open our hearts to comfort the bereaved, and a kindly care to the motherless children. August 22, 1874.
