We refer to the death of Harriett Trick, beloyed wife of Mr. Richard Manning. which otherred on Thursday last, at the family residence Exeter. Deceased was in the 67th year ot her age, and had bean ill for eonse weeks, the cause of death being a general breaking down of the coustitutiou, the result of a heavy strain on the system, brought about by the csnstant watchful- ness and care which for 3 eau past she has given Mr. Manning, who is a victim of paralysis. Mrs. Manning was born in Cornwall, England, Feb. 121h, 182e, and at the age of 5re yea.re came to Canada with her parenta. Tney settled near Port Hope, where, in the year 1847, eh° married Richard Manning. In 1853 they mooed to Stephen township, into a house on the lake road, bat shortly afterwards came to Exeter and lived in the residence now occupied by Mr. I. Bowerman, until 1860, when they purchased the farm in the lat concession of Stephen, now owned by Mr: Thos. Rowe. By industry and good management, they were able in souse 20 years to retire from farm life and again move into Exeter, to the residence where deceaged passed peacefully away on Thared.ay morning last. It was hi the later yeare ou the harm when Mr. Man- ning received a severe sunstroke, the cause of the trouble from which be has been suffering for some tints. Death brings sadness wider almost any cireurn- stains% but there are times when it seems doubly severe. Sucha case is the present one. Ulla separation from a loving husband is sorrowful enough, but when he is usable to care for Monett in the least, it is an occasion for profound sympathy : and the last earthly parting of the dying woman and her husband, with either unable to speak, but with bauris clasped and tears flowing down their cheeks, was ett affenting that it will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the sad some. Deceased was 0.0 estimable and lovable woman, was widely known for her benev- olence, and held in the highest esteem by everybody.
