After a long and painful illness this noble christian woman died at her home in McMinnville, Thursday the2Gthday of June, in the uMh year of her age. She was the daugh ter of Josiah F. and Jane B. Morford. On July 11th 18."i0, she was married to Chatham Coffee, with whom she lived a happy life until his death, a little over a year ago. She loaves three daughters, two brothers and one sister, ar.d an innumerable host of friends to mourn her departure. . In early life she gave herself to the Saviour, and was ono of the first members of the Presbyterian Church of this place. Her life was an ear nest and humble walk of faith. She was a modest, retiring woman, and only to most intimate friends did she ever speak of her inward christian life, but her faith was manifested by her daily works of love and mercy. She was a woman of quick mind, clear judgment, tender feelings, and strong convictions. She was exceed ingly gentle and quiet in all her ways, yet she was immovable as a rock in her devotion to the right. As a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend, a member of the church or of society, shewasin all an humble, earnest christian, trying constantly to realize her Lord's will. She hath won the victory and obtained the crown. The community join their sorrow with sorrow of her loved ones, and the extend to them their sympathy in their great bereavement.

A Fig in a Passenger Coach. Jilt. Editou: Through the col umns of your valuable journal I want to protest against the practice some of our rail roads have of permitting hogs to ride in the same coach with decent t eople. On a recent trip one of these objectionable animals, not of the Berkshire breed, but of the "razor back" kind, lean and long, with white face and black hair, and differ ing from either of the above breeds in that he walked on his hind legs, boarded the train with a ticket good for one seat. Instead of occupying only what he had paid for lie monop olized the place intended for fovr. placing his high hat and grip in one, his long legs in another and his body in the third and fourth, thus stretch ing himself out for a wallow, which he seemed to enjoy to the discomfort of a lady and her aged and invalid father, who were told they were trespassing on his rights and were forced to take a seat on the sunny side of the car with the rest of us common people. I am an old traveler, but have yet to see so great a breach of good manners. Such supreme selfish ness I hope never to meet again in my travels. Yours, Passenger. LIST OF LETTERS.
