OBITUARY
DIED. - At Rodburne, Black Brush, on the 19th inst., Ann, the wife of Mr. Alfred Luttrell, leaving a family of 12 children to mourn for the loss of that which to them can never be restored or replaced - an attentive and affectionate mother - a name that will cleave to their nearest and tenderest feelings, so long as memory shall last, and especially when so large a family shall have to look for one in whom their souls' confidence might rely upon, and by whom the path of virtue would have been affectionately and carefully pointed out in this land. The cares that must devolve on Mr. Luttrell, by losing so amiable and invaluable a partner, to whom he was endeared by the nearest ties, will be such as we can in a measure anticipate from the daily cares that follow us from a similar family, and we truly sympathize with him; but God softens the wind for the shorn lamb," and we as earnestly hope, as we confidently trust, that Mr. Luttrell will ever have a guard and a guide in his high responsibility. Mr. Luttrell is the eldest son of our late talented Colonial Surgeon of that name, and has had so far a reasonable and legitimate claim, that he has, and is now disputing the title with an Irish Peer.
