DEATHS.

The following letter, from neighbor and
friend of Mr.. Lewis, of Weyanoke, Charles Ci-
ty County, Va. gives an account of the death OF
that distinguished Agricuturalist and estimabie
gentleman. The character it portrays OF him is
Justly and forcibly drawn:
WEYANoKE, June l3.-The occasion OF my
being here is a melancholy one. My valuable
and estmable friend, FIELDING LEWIS is no
more! He expired this evening at O'clock
His disease was Hemplegia-the most formlda-
lble species of Paralysis. Its duration was eight
days. The medical art was exhausted in at
tempts to save him; but alas! no human effort
could avail He died at the advanced age OF
seventy-one; but his fine constitution gave hopes
of continuance for several years of his useful
and honorable life. His loss will create la
mentable hiatus in our society: In the domestic
circle, it is inappreciable Two widowed daugh-
ters with their families along with the family OF
Mr. Thomas Marshall of Fauquier mourn the
awful bereavement. But, their sorrow is not
without hope. They have the consolatory as
surance that he died in the faith-in that faith
which is necessary to SalvatiOn-cOmpared with
into insignifcance.
Obituary.-It rarely falls to our lot to record
more melancholy dispensation OF Providence,
than is to be found in communication, receiv-
ed few days ago, from the neighborhood of
Tallahassee, in Florida. During tremendous
storm of wind, on the evening of Friday, the 30th
ult., an immensely large tree was thrown upon
the house Of E. B. Vass, Esq late of Fredercks-
burg, which, breaking through the roof threw
down one Of the heavy timbers at the very mo-
ment that Mrs. VAss went to secure her chil-
dren, when, dreadful to relate the timber fell
upon her and deprived her of life instantane-
ously. Thus this estimable, amiable, and &C
complished lady, endeared by every tender tie
to parents, husband, and children, was hurried
away from every object of earthly affection, and
at most unexpected moment called to enter
| the eternal world.
On the 9TH instant, at Belvoir, in the County
Of Albemarle Mrs. ELIZA NELSON, consort ofthe
Hon. Hugh Nelson.
