WEATHERHEAD, MRS. ALMEDA - A somewhat lengthy notice of the death of Mrs. Almeda Weatherhead, the estimable wife of our friend and townsman, Mr. H. P. Weatherhead, and daughter of Mr. D. Harr, which occurred early Monday morning last, was handed us yesterday, but at too late an hour for our paper in the present crowded state of its column. We shall give it a place in our next issue. We regret the necessity of the postponement, but it is unavoidable.

WEATHERHEAD, MRS. AMELIA - Mrs. Almeda Weatherhead, the wife of Henry P. Weatherhead, and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Harr of Troy, Ohio. After three weeks of suffering she fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of the 19th ultimo.

During her sickness she gave us a marked exhibition of the power of divine grace to sustain, comfort and take away from the suffering the fear of death. Whilst her bodily strength was failing, her mind remained active and unimpaired so that she could communicate intelligently to all her friends. It was a solemn and impressive scene when she took leave of her husband, parents, brothers and friends; her arms, already cold, clasped around her mother's neck pressing her to her bosom of death. Her farewells, and her entreaties to all to meet her in Heaven, will not soon be forgotten by those present.

She was His when dying, and the Holy Spirit made use of her death as a means of grace to recommend the religion of Jesus to all--strengthening the faith of the believer, and constraining the thoughtless to say--"Let me die the death of the righteous that my last end may be like His. At an early period in life she became a subject of saving grace and was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist Church before she was eleven years of age, and from that time until her death has honored her profession by her godly walk and the deep interest she took in every department of church work. She was always in her place in every meeting, we could always depend on her. She was kind in sickness; sympathizing with the sorrowing. She has been a member of the Sabbath School either as a scholar or as a teacher. At the time of her death she had charge of the infant class. She leaves a deeply afflicted husband with whom she had lived ten happy years in uninterrupted enjoyment.
