The Coon MAN.-In that portion of news
per usually occupied with record of the NOR
tally of our race, We lately met with the follow
ing obituary notice:
DIED, at his seat in Franklin county in North
Carolina, on the goth ultimo, at an advanced
age, Capt WILLIAM BUCKINGHAM. Capt b. was
formerly a respectable merchant at Windsor in
BERTHE County, IN. G. } where he amassed a
large fortune, but had, for upwards OF thirty
years, been resident in the county in which he
died. Living on the public road from Peters
burg to this city, he was frequently called upon
by travellers, to whom he was very attentive.
His friends and genteel strangers he always cor
daily received, and TO such, as from their con-
Giton in life, could not be suitable guests, he
had house provided on purpose to accommo-
date them, and made them comfortable until
they were completely rested, and in case of sick
ness had them properly attended to without
charge. Capt B. was particularly attentive to
ali the animals he had on his farm. feeding them
WELL and taking especial care ofthem in inclem-
ent weather. Ii was an agreeable sight to go
into his farm yard, and observe his sheds and
houses for his horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs,
and the plenty of food with which they were
surrounded. He had delightful spring, hand.
Some'y secured by hewn stone, on the road side,
which has refreshed many weary traveller.
Indeed there are few establishments in the coun-
try, where plenty, good order, and neatness, at
once appear SO conspicuous as that from which
the respected owner has so lately been called to
his long home.
The "short and simple annals of such life
as this, are full Of interest-an interest which is
excited by nothing that is calculated to fash up
on the mind-nothing even that is spirit-stirring
and remarkable, but drawn forth by the lovely
picture presented of "good mans history.n
And what, after ALL is more worthy the aspira-
tons of generous soul and the efforts of a
laudable ambition than to leave such name to
posterity7 The glitter of wealth grows dim;
the possession of power cannot be continues;
fortunes frowns are delusive: it is by the quiet
enjoyment of domestic happiness-the rational
pleasures of social life-the kindly Offices OF
neighbor and friend, that we can be exalted to
the summit of human felicity, and Religion is
only wanting to throw her charm over the
scene, and complete the happiness which virtue
would bestow upon its poSsessor.
Hospitality and kindness; affectionate care
for the sick and distressed; solcitude for the
comfort Of even the dumb animals-all show
an inherent rectitude of heart: which is as re-
freshing, in the contemplation of the darker
shades of human character, as the "hewn
stone spring" of the worthy Birmingham was

The memory Of these things must be to those

IL Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kinds
of Oils, Paints, Tar, and Crease from the most
delicate colored Silks, Satins, Cloths, Bomba-
zines, or Velvets, without injurng, in the least,
their color or texture.
No danger need be apprehended in using it
upon the finest and most delicate Sks-nor is
it like the soaps so commonly advertised in our
day, which, by removing one evil, almost in
variably produce another of double size; nor
does it require the preparatory means of all
other renovators-such as hot irons and the
like. Only little clean water, according to the
direction, is wanting.
Oil or Grease of any kind can be extracted
from the most delicate colored carpets, without
the usual trouble of taking them up. If used
according to the directions, it will at once ex-
tract every particle Of grease from the finest
Cloth, or most delicate Silks, without injur-
ing in the least the color or texture.

a Valuable Hint.--A writer in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, DR.. Comstock of
! Lebanon, (Ct) furnishes an interesting article
| on the mode Of extracting foreign substances
which have been introduced in the ear He
says that he once knew an instance of a lady
in whose auditory passage bug had flown,
whose anguish, proceeding from the motion
and noise of the insect, was beyond all former
experience or present endurance. She describ-
ed the noise while the insect was in her ear, as
exceeding the falling Of mountain. or the
crush of thunder, whilst its motion gave pain
unutterahe. The writer recommends that the
feather end of quill from raven, goose, or
eagle, smeared in honey, should be introduced
| i'm the ear, which will Immediately stop the hum
of bug, or the buzz of fly, and extractit.
If the substance to be extracted is cherry
stone or shot, or kennel Of corn, candied honey
may be preferable to that directly from the
! hive because more tenacious and adhesive,
and there may be cases where something more
adhesive than honey can be used with proprie-
ty. But by dipping the feather end of quill into
the latter, introducing it into the car, and turn
| ing if round, every substance which lies loosely
in the passage may be extracted This will su-
persede the use of forceps, and do away the

NOTE This month"; with few exceptions, has
been cool for the season. The cause of which,
may be attributed to the frequent rains, show
ers, gales, and high winds, which have been so
prevailing. By desire, the following condensed
account is given, viz During this month there
have been six rain storms, some very heavy:
six showers of short duration one hail storm
at the time this took place, the wind lulled away;
and, though the hail averaged about the size of
a morella cherry, of which considerable bo-
dy fell, however, but little damage was done
here: seven thunder gusts, some Of which were
attended with considerable rain, and from one
to three occurring in the course Of twenty-four
hours: also, three gales Of wind, and several
very high winds.
On the morning Of the 18th inst, the Sun was
partially eclipsed-invisible here. On the morn
ing of the 2lst inst, the Moon was totally
eclipsed, and visible here.
|, A friend informs me-, the quantity of rain
which fell this month is five inches and one hun
dredth. A comparative statement between this
month and the three last spring months, will
stand thus:
Rain in the month of June, inches, ! hun

May, 8 inches, Is hundredths.
