GETTYSBURG, July 20.
___________

   Departed this life, on the 11th inst. in the 27th year of her age, Mrs. ELIZABETH GILLILAND, wife of Mr. John Gilliland, after a very afflctive illness of several weeks. Her most amiable life -- her patience in suffering, together with her strong scriptural hope in death, have left to her afflicted friends an instructive example, and an invaluable consolation.
