found him in the situation as above desert

Treasury NoTEs.-lt is rumorcd in
Washington, that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury is about to supply the pressing wants of
the Treasury, by the issue of ten millions of
Treasury notes, i'll sums of $50 and over, bear
ing interest to be followed by further issue
of smaller notes, of SO and upward, not bear
ing interest. These notes would be nearly as
convenient for avellers, as were the ,ls of

issues would make the L. >. Treasury virtual

OBITU

Died on the 9th instant, at Cottage Hall, MARI
ON NJ, the eldest daughter of Mr.. WILLIAM G.
RoBEy, in the 18th year of her age.
After short but painful Illness her ransomed
spirit left its earthly tabernacle to nestle with its
God. Christian resignation and cheerful patience
were her unwavering attributes. During her i'll
ness, not murmur of complaint passed her lips.
though racked with pain and burning fever;-a rare
occurrence for one of her tender age. A cheerful
and obligiug disposition quietness of demeanor. a
dc ep sense of her accountability to her Maker were
her principal characteristics. As the tide of life was
ebbing-whle dissolution was fast drawing its VIC
tim to an untlmely but welcome end, the friends
surrounding her bed were forced to believe that
'Surely God is in this place;-that
'Jesus can make dying bed
AS soft as downy pillows are.''
The bereavement of her fond father, her sweet and
confidng little sister, her large circle of relatives
and friends, meets with the deepest sympathy.
elbow short the race our friend has run,
Cut down in all her bloom!
The course but yesterday begun
Now fnishd in the tomb.
"And thus the Lord reveals his grace,
Our youthful love to gain
The soul that early seeks his face
Shall never seek in vain" W.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN MARYLAND. -
Gov. THOMAS has issued his proclamation
recommending that Thursday, the 23d day
of N ovember next, shall be set apart by the
people of Maryland as day of rejoicing
and thanksgiving for the many benefits thai,
we have all enjoyed during the past year,
recommendation that will be generally &C
ceded to, we have not the slightest doubt.
The Esd of November has already been
adopted by Pennsylvania and several other
States, for this annual festival, and there is
probability that it will be simultaneously o.
served in nearly all sections of the Union.
SEEDING GRAIN.-We are informed, says
the Marlboro Gazette, by persons from diff
ferent sections of Prince Georges and the
lower counties of this State, tina, much lar
ger quantity Of Whea. has been put in the
ground than in former seasons. Many Plan
,ets intend 80 curtail their Tobacco land,
with view of lessening this crop. The
crop Of Tobacco of lS47 was very far be-
low the average; and gentleman recently
from Baltimore informs US that up to the Is,
October, instant, only about 10000 hhds
had been inspected, and some of This was of
the crop Of 1916, which had been held back
on account Of The very low prices. Il is
supposed that the crop Of lS47 fell short Of
an average one by more than third. And
moreover we are informed by gentleman
formerly connected with the inspections in
Baltimore, that the aggregate number Of
hhds. Of Tobacco set down as inspected in
Ia particular year, does not afford correct
data of the amount actually gro1rn-for in
many instances crop of Tobacco is tvice
inspected, and in every case the second ms
pec.ion is set down to swell the aggregate
With these facts, and the assurance ,ha,
the present ruinous prices have forced many
Planters to abandon its cultivation, may it
not be hoped that the Plan,er will realize
renumera,ing price for the crop now in the
house?
