LOCAL.
Mrs. Lydia M. Levitt, a widow lady, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ketchel, and for a long time living with her parents in this city, died last Saturday after a painful illness of several months. Her disease was spinal, causing great distress. The best physicians were employed, and counsels take, but without avail. Her brain was so affected as to cause a wild delirium for weeks together. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Meredith, at Mr. Ketchel's residence on Sunday last, and she was buried in the new cemetery.
