Death and Funeral Obsequies of Miss Catherine Leahy. (Special Correspondence.) The many friends of Miss Catherine Leahy of Park City were pained to learn of her death, which occurred at her home Monday evening, Aug. 10, at 6 o'clock. The deceased was a daughter daugh-ter of Mrs. P. Leahy, and besides her sorrowing mother, leaves a sister and three brothers to mourn( her loss.

Among her numerous friends she enjoyed the esteem ever accorded true worth and merit, and the sweet odor of her virtues and good example ex-ample will linger long in the pathways her footsteps have trodden. It seemed uui miing, men, mat her good life, marked especially !n those long days of illness by patience and 1 faithful piety, should be crowned by a good and happy death, comforted as she was but a few hours before passing the dark portals by the sweat consolations of the faith she so lovingly professed.
