DOMER, of Sinking Valley. --------------- DIED In Logan township, on the 5th inst., after a short illness, Mr. LEWIS GWIN, aged 76 years, 8 months and 25 days. The subject of the above notice was born in Franklin county, Pa., and removed with his parents, when about 5 years of age, to Huntingdon (now Blair) county, where the remainder of his life was spent. He was a man of humble and quiet spirit--a man of prayer and a close student of God's Word. He professed faith in Christ, and united with the church of Hollidaysburg, about twenty-three years ago, and remained in its communion until dismissed to unite with the church of Altoona at its organization. In his old age he was nearly blind; his hearing was also much impaired. But for this loss he was greatly compensated. He could repeat a good part of the Scriptures from memory; and in this took much delight.--He trusted in God's covenant to him and his children.--He brought them up in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord," and had the blessedness of seeing them all--two sons and two daughters--members of the Church of Christ. His end was peace, for he slept in Jesus. "The chamber where the good man meets his fate Is privileged beyond the common walk Of virtuous life, quite on the verge of heaven." In this place, on the 2d inst., of scarlet fever, GEORGE W., son of George C. and Mary E. Bazzil, aged 2 years, 3 months and 2 days. A link in the golden chain is broken The brightest, purest, best; The voice of God has spoken, Dear little George's gone to rest.
