OBITUARY.
With feeling of profound sadness we are called upon to chronicle the death of Annie HARDEN, a little daughter of Dennis and Louisa HARDEN, who passed from life during the afternoon of the 24th inst., after a painful illness of nearly three weeks. The deceased was born on the 2nd of July, 1873, and was 8 years, 8 months and 22 days. The remote cause of Annie's death was an injury to her head, received on the 26th of last September, the date of the cyclone which passed through this section of country. Mr. HARDEN's house was utterly destroyed and swept away. Mr. HARDEN was absent, but his wife and children were at home and all except the youngest child, was severely injured. Miss Annie was carried through the air a distance of 30 rods and when found was lying apparently lifeless with a severe wound on her head. But, though she became as well and stong as ever, her head remained tender at the place of injury and never entirely healed. About 4 weeks ago she was taken ill, and at length became confined to her bed. Dr. Shepherd pronounced the injury to her head to be the cause of her sickness. Finally, Dr. BROWN was called as counsel, a surgical operation was decided upon and undertaken, during which the patient died. Heaven has gained an angel: Annie is no longer held, but we may cherish her beautiful memory and be the better ourselves by remembreing what she was. by J. Monroe LLOYD.
