HORST.

At 10:45 o'clock yesterday morning occurred the death of Mrs. Catherine Horst, aged 42 years, 2 months and 26 days. She was born in Forfarshire, Scotland, on Feb. 14, 1852, but lived in this city for the past twenty years. Mrs. Horst was the mother of M. Reilly, by her former marriage, and his death by drowning from falling off the steamer Silver Crescent, had a great deal to do with her decline. Her husband, Mr. Claus Horst, survives with five children, the oldest being nine years and the youngest seventeen months.

THe funeral will take place Monday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Anthony's church. Interment will be in St. Marguerite's cemetery.
