Doath Of the Hon. Henry Deas.-We
announce with deep regret the decease OF
this eminent citizen and esIimable man.
He died yesterday morning, his life, we
believe, having considerably exceeded The
span of three score years and ten. Mr..
Deas was gifted with high intelligence und
many virtues, and we doubt whether any
one ever lived in our community more
universally possessed Of its esteem and
veuera,ivn. He was Carolina planter,
and Carolina gentleman ofthe old school,
and was bright exemplar Of the social
virtues and amenities, which belong 10
those characters. For long period he
bore an active part in The political affairs
of our State, and although decided in his
politics he passed through our most excl
ling contests without ruaklug an enemy
In 1882, he was elected President Of the
Senate OF the Stale, and filled that high Of
fee with ability, dignity and imparliality,
until 1885. after which time he retired from
public life. We join with our whole COM
munity in sorrow for his loss and honor
to his memory.-Chas. Courier.

ing that the deepest gloom enshrouded his
family. The bad health of Mrs. w. was
made still worse, and in few months, con-
sumption, which had already commenced
the execution of its commission, speedily
terminated his work of ruin. Ere the an
niversary Of her husbands death had re-
turned, she had disappeared from the earth
and added one more to the inhabitants of
the tomb.
There was one survivor of that partial
wreck. And who was that. The only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w., young and
interesting lady who had just completed
her education. Virginia was Just such a
female as soul tor would select for mo-
del, or the imltator for example. Whatev-
er graces we love TO see, were found in
her. It the SAD catastrophe Of the fall left
any remnant of heavenly purity, and meek
ness, that relic assuredly was in her charac-
ter. If there be any thing in humanity at
tractive to the eye of angels, that charm
dwelt in her have known others dstn-
guished for the fair proportions of their
forms, or some particular quality of intel
lect. have seen many different persons
that were Justly praised for some one tran
scendent disposition but in no other than
Virginia did ! ever know all graces to
blend, and, like gems in crown, or stars
in a constellation, mingle their light and
beauty together. Lovely girl How did
she associate within herself and present at
one view all that wins regard and secures
admiration An orphan Destitute of kin
dred, in a cold world--a fragile flower,
with no hand to defend it from the blast
lovely bark upon the swelling sea oflife,
with no compass to guide its wanderings,
or polar star to direct its course. No situ-
alton makes SO powerful an appeal to my
sympathies-no condition brings the tear
into my eye so quick, or the sigh from my
heart so readily as an orphans. An or
phan the very word is full of meaning.
'Tis name that, like the inscriptions on
the gravestones, tells OF departed love-
blighted hopes, and ruined prospects. An
orphan! All, solitary one, who will be thy
counsellor-lhy guide and guard' When
sickness prostrates thy frame and weakens
thy mind, who will smooth thy pillow
who anticipate thy wants-who cool thy
feverish brow and solace thy fainting mind,
And when the horror of death has passed,
who will close thy eyes and deck the turf
that lies on thy still bosom Who will che
rish thy memory and think of thee when
thou hast gone! All who?
But Virginia was not left entirely COM
fortress. The anguish which the loss of her
parents had caused, was softened by the
fact that there was one who cared for her.
There was yet one arm, on which she
could lean, and one ear, into which she
could whisper her troubles She had a
friend and lover. When happier fortunes
smiled Thomas Maybrook had addressed
her, and gained the promise other hand and
heart. And now that misfortune had over
taken his beloved, he clung still closer to
her, doing all in his power to soothe her
grief. So soon as circumstances would
permit they were married, and more de-
voted pair never came together.

MEDICAL INsTJ-

w TUTE.--The Undersigned proprletors Of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.
This institution Is intended to afford instruction
to Medical students, not only by the common mode
Of private pupilage, (by which the preceptor, by
more lmperous calls on his attention. is denied time
sufficient to do more than to direct the students in
course OF study, and perhaps to as a few gen
eral questions on each author but il is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
clal education, which are afforded by daily lee
rures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction. as illustra-
tIoNs by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
aratons pathological specimens and chemical eI-
perIments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumenta operations on the obsetrc phantome, and
the application Of surgical apparatus and bandages
The art OF prescribing and compounding medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculation and percussion, &C.
The course of instruction is intended 10 eoust
the highest standard of medical education in this
country, and every Incentive and facility TO an
dent and persevering cultivation of the principles OF
the science will be afforded, so as to beget spirit
OF inquiry that will not rest satisfied with the aequ
snion OF the period Of pupilage
The annual course of instruction will embrace
two sessions. The first, from the second Monday
OF November I'LL the last of February will be de-
voted wholly to full examinations the subjects
ectured on in the Columbian Medical College.
The second session will commence on the second
Monday of March and terminate the last OF Octo-
bcr: during which instruction will be given on the
various branches of medicine by lectures and daily
examinations. Students may enter Tor one or both

hail and rain was quite as much as desirable by
the multitude of people in the streets and at the
various exhibitions. We picked up ha-stonos, a
few minutes after the storm passed, the central
portion of which as large robins egg and
attached were four branches larger than pipe
sem-the whole stone forming perfect cross. This
form seemed to prevail pretty largely at any rate,
it was literally shower of icicles for moment
We hear that the storm was still more severe at the
North, and that one hundred and fifty lights oil

of Cabot.
