Died about 10 o'clock on "Wednesday 25,h
nlt., Mrs ELISABETH STEWART. after a short
il!ncss-consort of Capt. John Stewart, Of the
Waxhaws in Lancaster District.
Departed this life OH the leth ut., at his res

Commons, in the 2Sth year Of his ago. Painful
as II always 10 10 record the deuth oil any relative
or friend, still thcre are cases where tho pain is
greater, tho affliciion more intonse. In a case
ike the present where ono il rcmov ed from u.s. a
young mnn just in the prime Of life, in n sphere
OF usefulness which cannot be filled, udored by
relatives and beloved bv friends. psng il in
f'cted which only long space OF time can
eradicate.
But f,w short months before this sad and
melancholy event, God in his providence saw
tit to take from our midst luvng husbsnd-a
iond and nflectionate father. In this sad be-
rcavement although it appeared that no one
could supply his place-tlat Providence who
holds The dcst'nies of man, provided in his eldest
sou, William. substitute who well supplied his
place. a widowed mothers heart was chcercd
aud comfoted by the kind attention and fond
so'icItude other darling child. Younger brothers
aud sisters looked up 10 him not only as brother,
but as father and brother Kind and attentive.
manliesiing by his actions desire to assist and
please all, his companions loved him, and never
ny word or deed did he wound the feelings of
any mortal. The writer Of this article had found
oy 'aHniaI intercourse WIN the deceased, that
he was friend firm and drvo,ed friend. Ac-
comPunying him in all his walks and rides, par
ticiPating with him in all the rural sports in
woods aud fields, friendship was cemented, n
comPanionship formed which only death could
sever. Lively and animated in his conversation,
aftectionate in his manner, loved him, I low.
ed him with u warm and ardent love. Though
he was connected with 10 Christian Church,
we havo reason to hope aud believe that he had
sought and found favor from his God. When
asked by devoted sister short time befure his
death II he had prayed to God during his illness,
though unable to speak. he gave, by the inclin-
ing OF his head, token Of assent.
So died our beloved friend, our dear compan-
ion. Shall we complain? Shall we murrnur
against our wise Creator7-No Let his will be
done. Oh! may widowed mother find COM
fort from on high. and seeking aid from God,
find that consolation which the world can never
give. nor take away. May brothers and sisters
be admonished Of the uncertainty of life, and by
giving their hearts early TO God, he reu,ly and
willing whenever death shall call them. May
we all find comfort and joy in those beautiful
lines
Hear what the voice Of Heaven declares
TO those in God who die!

at the Regimentnl Review of Rowan mil
itia, on Friday last, that the horse Of one
of the officers OH parade became frighten-
ed and ran down the the street at most
furious gait. and dashed through porch
in which were standing several children,
hoofof the horse striking one of,hem on
the head, causing dreadful fracture of
the skull, and severely crushing the ankle
bones Of another. The horse continued
his course down the street and finally

Our informant states that when he left
