Another Fire.

On Monday evening, the 30lh ult., the dwell
ling house Of Mr.. RICHARD BAXTER, situate a
bout one mile northwest of Carrollton, caught
fire, and was entirely consumed. The princi-
pal part of the furniture was saved. The fire
broke out about sunset, while the wind was blow
ing swift breeze, and all attempts to bring it
into subiecton were wholly fruitless. The barn
and other oul-buildings were saved though afre
several times. How they were saved, under
the circumstances, seems indeed surprising.
We have not understood the amount of Mr..
Bakers loss. There was no insurance on the
building.
The cause Of the fire is not satisfactorily as.
certained. The most reasonable surmise, how
ever is that the SCOT in the chimney caught fire
and carried the flames n,othe roof The even
ing was dry and windy, and the fire spread with
great rapidisy. LP'

OBITUARY.

DIED, at the Beatty House in Carrolton, on
the 10Th of April l849, after short but severe
illness, which he bore with resignation and firm
ness, Mr. OSCAR o. BoEGLE, in the 2lst year Of
his age.
The deceased, though cut off in the morning
of life, had lived long enough TO endear him, by
his many excellent qualities of both head and
heart TO his paternal and raternal friends, as we'll
as Large circle Of acquanances in the sphere in
which he had moved. Though called 10 depart
from all earthly attachments, when just budding
into manhood, his prospects of blessed eterni.
ty--hs hopes, all ripe and mature, never 10 be
separated by death, was his consolation during
his brief illness. He has gone, and there is,
perhaps, no one left behind, who entertained an
unknd thought to survive his earthly career: as
he was loved and admired in life, so will he
bloom in eternity.
Though acomparave strangerwhere he died,
he was tenderly watched by anxious friends du-
ring his illness, and his last hours soolhed by a
fond and doting mother and affectionate broth
ers, who smoolhed the pillow of death, and
watched his departing spirit take IFS flight TO
"That bourne lromwhence notraveer returns,"
10 THAT house not made with hands, but eIer-
nal in the heavens"
HIS remains were taken to Waynesburgh (his
late residence) for interment.
"Thou art gone to the grave but we will not deplore
thee;
Though sorrow and darkness encompass the tomb,
The Saviour has passed through its portals before
thee,
And the lamp of his love is thy guide through
the gloom.
Thou art gone to the grave, we no longer behold
thee,
Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy side
But the wide aims of mercy are spread to enfod thee
And sinners may hope, since the sinless has died.
Thou art gone to the grave, and its mansions forsa-
king;
Perhaps thy tried spirit in doubt fingered long;
But the sunshine of heaven beamed bright on thy
waking,
And the song that thou heard'st was the sera-
phim's song.
Thou art gone to the grave, but 'twere wrong to
depore thee,
When God was thy ransom, thy guardian and
guide;
He gave thee, and took thee, and soon will restore
thee,
Where death has no sting, since the Saviour has
died." AFR.
As testimonial Of respect his friends, asso-
ciates and school'mates, of Waynesburgh, adop-
ted the following resolution in honor Of his
memory:
Resolped, That we, the young men and citi-
zens of Waynesburgh, generally, feel and deep
y lament the loss we havesustained in The death
Of our friend and fellow associate.
And further, that we truly and sincerely sym-
Pathse with the lriends and particularly with
the bereaved parent.
