DIED.,

At New Haven, Illinois, on the 9Th OF Febru
ary last, JOHN, the youngest son of the late Jo-
sEpH DEAN, Esq of this place, in the 2Sth year OIL
his age.
Though far distant from his only remaining
parent, and other endeared relatives, he had
conciliated the esteem Of many, who loved him
as friend, ministered to him with great kind
ness, and, by the soothing sympathies of Chris
tan benevoence, contributed not little to
smooth his pathway to the house appointed TOR
all living. Toward the close of life,-having,
through the affectionate admonitons of a rever-
ed mother, turned his attention to the great sub
iect of his eternal interests,-his mind became
tranquil, untroubed, and without alarm; and
while in the certain prospect of a very speedy
departure his last moments were occupied, both
in earnest exhortations to his companions gath
cred around him, to prepare to meet their God
in Judgment, and in debating message of assu-
rance to his beloved Christian relatives at a dis
lance that, though separated from them now,
he should meet them hereafter, in that glorious
and happy state, where The Wicked cease from
troubling, and the areary are at rest.

report of considerable length, on the present

Company, has also been presented by the same
Committee, which justi6es the expectation that,
al no very distant period, the Treasury of the

Investments in this work; beside which it shows
that there will be opened to the enterprise of the
people of Maryland sources of exhaustless
wealth This report is accompanied by bill
Hedging the faith of the State for loan of250,

pany.
These proceedings viii serve to show the at
tachment which Maryland continues to feel for
this good work, and that it needs but the invited
cooperation Of the Federal Government to en-
sure its completion. That the adoption by the
Legislature of the REPORT of its Committee will
secure this cooperation, ought not, for mo-
