DIED.

On SATURDAY. afternoon, in Washington, the 7th
instant, at half past o'clock, Gen. JOHN p. VAN
NESS, In the 18th year of his age
General Van Ness of the oldest and most
respectable inhabitants of that city He was a ma
tive of New York, and elected to Congress froi
that State during the first term of Mr. Jefferson's
administr alton and he shortly afterwards mar
ried the only child of the late David Burns ESQ
one of the original proprietors of the land on which
this city was built; and, having accepted from
Mr. Jefferson commission of major of militia in
that District, it deemed that by so doing he
had forfeited his right to his in the House of
Representatives. He then fixed his permanent resi-
dence in this city, and has contributed largely to
the improvement oft. When the Bank OF the Me-
tropolis established in 1914, he became the
President thereof, and continued hold this office
TO the time of his death. He filled the office of
Mayor of this city, to which Office he was elected by
his fellow citizens; and he received many eviden-
ces of the estimation in which he was held by the
several administrations of the general government
His loss will be sensibly felt by large circle OF
aacquaintances, and by the community in which he
lived, as the large property which he received
with his wife enabled him to extend an elegant
hospitality to his acquaintance and to strangers
visiting the city and to patronze with great lber
atty all the public improvements and charitable
and religious institutions in this city, without re-
spect to sect or denomination.

CONSUMPTION

There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country is affected, which sweeps Oft annually so
many victims that fell destroyer of the human
race-Consumption. Day after day. year after
year, the nsatiate monster hurries To the portals
of the cold and silent tomb fresh added victims to
its conquest. No walk of life is sacred from its
blighting influence. No age is exempt from its
and the young, all alike, food for this common
enemy Of mankind. The white haired patriarch
whose life of temperance has rendered his system
impervous to the attacks of otter ills and whose
good deeds prepared him the enjoyment of ife's
calm evening, finds consumption fastening its
fangs upon his vitals, and tearing him from world
ever bright to minds which look complacently on
DAYS well spent.
Is there no help for the afflicted? No preventive
of the dangers which beset us in our changcable
and tickle CLINE We think there NAV be- And
if the allegations of those who are at least entitled
to veracty, may be believed, there is preventive
and a remedy. ~ .tl..f .tff'.....
