1t becomes painfulta task to notice the death Of
DR.. Burrell Higgins of this place, who dcpe d
this life on the 9th inst. of Typhns Fever 1t was
circumstance highly consolatory to his friends that
he was all along resigned to his fate and entirely
prepared, as far could be known for the awful or.
deal beyond the grave. DR.. Higgins was native
OF South Carolina, from whence he moved to Ala
bama when but boy, where he res ded until he
removed to this county nine years ago While re.
sident among us he made many friends, and we
venture to say, but few, if any enemies. All es-
teemed him for his Kindness Of heart, and among
his intimate friends no man could have been more
devotedly loved for his generous nature and native
goodness. "The evil that men do, lives after them"
If This were made the test of character with regard
to the subject ofthe above notice, perhaps all Of
would have reason to envy him; for of all the men
that we have known,we have seen none more devoid
Of the haser passions of fallen man. As husband
and faheras christian and citizen his charac-
ter was as perfect as any man might be proud to
have. He died leaving blank in a large circle of
mourning friends. who will for many day remem-
Der the loss they have sustained. IS. Tribune.

A FEMALE RoouE.-Th following piece of bold
audacity and swindling the part of female in
New York. is certainly without parallel on this
side of the globe. 1t is iom the New York Sun :
"a lady, elegantly and fsbonably attired, of pre-
possessing appearance and manner, stopped day
or two ago, at of the fashionable stores. TO ex-
anime some costly shaws. She was shown upstairs
into the shawlroom, where one of the pa rtners in
the firm attentvely waited UPON her. After exam
lining and rejecting n number, she selected one va.

and if not better suited would take hat shawl which
was laid aside for her In about aaf an hour her
carrlnsc drove up 10 the store again and she went
up stairs into the shawl-room to take the article,
not having been fortunate enough to suit herself
else"h here. She would like, however to 90 over an
examination ofthe whole invoice. After some time
consumed in the inspection, she finally determined
to purchase the original one, which she ordered TO

As an emblem ofpurest bloom.

She bid the brethren parting farewell
Her heart all broke in twain,
And counselled them we'll to meet him il

Where he would forever remain.
She presented her poor little orphan boys
To welcome their fathers friends,
And pointed to II i'm whom exalted above

With anguish that knows no end.
For He who can cheer heart forlorn

And when the last trumpet sounds,

Where JOY and love abounds. s.
