OBTIU ARx.

DIED, recently, ut his residence in the
Calf Pasture, MIR. Thomas McCULLousH,
aged 80 years. He was in many respects a
remarkable MANA weaver by trade, and
dependent upon his labor for support-he
succeeded by perseverance in overcoming the
defects OF his early education, and making
himself thoroughly acquainted with the solid
and substantial parts of English Literature.
The quaint, yet forcible illustrations which he
frequently drew from History and Biography
and applied to the every day business of life,
rendered him at once an amusing and in-
structive companion. 'Twas glorious to see
the gray-headed old man drawing deep
draughts OF inspiration from the pages of his
beloved franklin, and to hear him exclam as
he raised his eyes, briniul with pleasure and
gratitude to Heaven Thank God that ever
found the true distinction between man and
the brutes ~ Mechanics, how long shall it
be told as remarkable, that one of you has
found that distinction How long will you
be In discovering that the Creator, in order
ing the various pursuits in life, has left but
one common ground of comparison, ''the use
which each man makes of the intellectual
and moral faculties with which He has en-
dowed him '' May each one Of Won re.nem-
Der Thomas Mccullough, and be like him, a
thinking and an honest man. II. III
DIED, on Friday morning last, after a
long and severe illness, Mr.. ADAM SnUEy,
aged about 70 years. Mr.. Shuey was re-
sident Of the county of Augusta for about As
years, and sustained through life the charac-
ter of an honest man and good citizen.
