DIED-On the Goth ult about four
miles north osthis place, after very short
illness, Mr.. v. NJ. THOMAS.
DlED-in this vicinity on the 10Th
inst. with long Protiactcd illness II. n.
b. Champion, aged = years. He bore
his suffering with an endurance uncom-
mon for one Of his age.
WHAT IS DEArn.-Therc is some
thing repugnant with every individual
at the thought Of death. The eye can
not look upon the cold form Of a hu-
man being, wrapped in the silent slum-
Der of the dead, without feelings OF
sympathy. 1t calls forth all the finer
feelings of the human heart, and gives
solemnity to our every thought. Death
is the common lot of ali. the end OF
earthly sorrow and earthly happiness.
the final termination Of human schemes
and human grandure. No age or sex
is exempt, the aged, the middle aged
the youth in the bud of childhood,
alike have been called to pay their las,
tribute to the monster death.
Where is the individual who has
visited the hall of the dying or the dead
and not felt the rougher feelings of his
nature =oftened by The inspiration Of
the scene. The gathering around OF
the parents, brother, sister or friend
the silent tear Of the bereaved tina,
falls upon the fevered temples of the
unconscious sufferer, the bitter sorrow
ing of an OVERLOOKING heart, the las,
earthly tie Of ITS cherished object i:
broken, should teach US that we toe
arc mortal. and e'er long will receive
the last farewell from those who we
are now mingling with in the social il.
terchange OF life, and perchancc with
many throbing heart, followed to the
lonely grave and placed within our mar
row dwelling.
The ravages of death are not con
fined to the tireside amid the the fami
y circle, nor crowded hall, or private
assembly. But he who is Wandered
upon a foreign land, perchancc an or
phaL struggling with misiortuncs, and
buffited by the many intrlcacics in life
without. father, mother, sister, or broth
CIR, to sympathise OF sooth him through
the rugged path of life, may be called t.
end his suffering and resign his carthl,
existence and follow them who hav.
gone before him. If such an one
should fall amongst Us, the fine
feelings of sympathy should BE- awak
lened, and the hand of charity kindly
: extended to the sufferer. j. A.

A young lady committed .aicidel LAST

A young lady committed suicide last
week, in this Cit. u-tcr cifcum-tan-
ces which, having been sariousiy sta
ted. are still not exactly understood.
1t is said that for so.I.e time previous
to her death, two young gentlemen
had been paying honorable attentions
TO her. Onc Of them. to whom she
had been partial, received several let
tiers from Al anonymous writer. suppo-
sed to be his rival, rejecting severely
OH the female character. The cir
cums;anc es came to the knowledge Of
The too sensitive girl, and SO distressed
her mind, that in a tit Of despair she
took arsenic, and perlshcd soon at
ter.
Another cause is thus assigncd:->
The deceased was an orphan, and
lived with her aunt, from whom some
property had been stolen a few days a.
90. She was very imprudentiy char
ged with the offence, and her virtuous
mind could not brook the insult. She
strcnuousiy denied the justice Of the
accusation, but finding it impossible
to convince her aunt, she fastened tc
an apothccary shop. procured the ar
senic, took it, and in two hours was a
corpse. She was amiable in manners
yirtuous in mind, and extremely pre-.

DAVID RITCHIE.

The original of this extraordinary

even Of SCOTS, was David Richie. a
Seotchman born in Pcebleshire, l740,
aud believed TO have been I'LL -shapen
from his birth. After learning to read
English at common school, he was
sent TO Edinburgh to learn brush ma
ker's trade, but bis figure attracted
such notice that he soon afterwards
left the city in disgust. After his IA.
theirs death he fell in the way of Sir
James Nasmyth, a wealthy neighbor.
aud obtained Of him permission to build
a cottage on his manor, at the bottom
Of a secluded steep bank. lie imne.
diately cleared spot suitable for his
purpose, and scoOped out large re.
cess in the side Of the hill, proper for
a garden. This was enclosed by the
earth on one side, by the cottage 90

short time he contrived TO stock it
with q few fruit trees, aud with all
sorts Of flowers, herbs, aud culinary
vegetables, which could be prOcured
in the neighborhood. His manner of
working is described by persons who
used to visit him, as exceedingly la
boriOus. Beipg unable TO use his feet
in digging, he bad spade so contriyed
that he could force IL down with his
breast; the rest Of the labor Was per-
formed entirely BY means Of bis arms
add hands, in which he possessed great
strength. lie also procured some bee
hives, aud planted bower Of willows
aud rowan trees. Thenceforih Davies

bees enabled him to supply the tables
Of ali classes with an abundance VI
