HART, JOHN BUNYAN - On Sunday the 20th inst., of the Croup, after three days intense suffering John Bunyan Hart, infant son of Levi and Sara Hart, aged six weeks and four days.  Ransomed by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ his unfettered spirit took its flight from a Sabbath on earth to a Sabbath of unfading felicity in heaven where there, shall be "no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, for the former things have passed away."

Let sickness blast, let death devour,

   If heaven must recompetice our pains;

Perish the grave, and fade the flower,
