DIED — On the 25th of June, at the residence of her father-in-law, Mr. STRICKLAND, near Milton, Miss., Mrs. Marian W. STRICKLAND, aged 22, only daughter of John and Sophia LEWIS, formerly of Chapel Hill, N.C.  Though a few months only had elapsed since she stood at the marriage altar, yet when the summons came she was by a lively faith in her Redeemer willing to part with husband, parents, and brothers.  When informed by her almost heart-broken mother that she could not survive, she embraced all present, separately, and begged them to prepare to meet her in Heaven Dry up your tears, bereaved ones, you have the gratifying assurance that  your loss is her gain.
