Obituary,

Died, on Wednesday last, the Bank Of the United
States in the 30th year Of her age. She had been in
decline for several years, and was advised by the
celebrated Dr. jackson to withdraw to retirement;
but being Of active disposition, and influenced by
DIR. Bddle, she was induced to practice extreme ex-
lift up too much cotton, which induced cir
cuation or too great an issue. Draughts were imme-
diately applied in rapid succession; but, alas! like
contrary poisons calculated to keep the body alive,
proved too much for her weak state, and she, with
out groan, ceased to exist. Her loss will be felt
deeply by many, especially by a few editors who
partook largely of her bounty She took Gems picu-
Gus part in the revusion Of So and greatly assisted
in the rise of real and unreal estate in the remotest
parts Of the Uron. May she forever rest in peace!
