The Grim Messenger.

For a number of months past, Mrs. Samuel Cochran, of Bentonsport, has been suffering from that dread ailment consumption; and for the last month or more, has been almost constantly in the shadow of death. She recognized the approaching dissolution, and longed to be brought to Bonaparte, her former home, that her last hours might be soothed by the tender care of her sisters who reside here, which care was lovingly accorded her to the end of her earthly carrer.
