The New Orleans Crescent, of the lst inst,
speaking of the late John McDonough and his re-
Iations, says;-His eldest sister, Elizabeth Pogue,
died a few years ago, in the city Of Baltimore,
where she lived the life of almost recluse, after
surviving her three children-John, James, and
Maria. John and James Pogue were, for num-
Der of years, largely engaged in the wholesale dry
goods trade in Baltimore; they afterwards removed
to Philadelphia, engaged in the business ojobbers
in the same line, failed in business, and died. eav-
ing several heirs each. Maria, her only daughter,
married Mr.. Thomas Welsh, son of the late AID am
Welsh, largely engaged in tanneries; she survived
her husband, and died few years ago, in Phila-
delpha. leaving large family Of children, who are
poor. The small properly which Mrs Pogue ac-
cumulated by the strictest economy, was mostly
left to the children of her sister Mary Mary Cole,
his next sister, anied John Cole, of the city of
Baltimore. She died few years ago, in the city
of Baltimore; her hus band still lives. There was
q remarkable resembl ince, in personal appearance,
strikingly so, between this sister and Mr. McDon-
ough, and some what IN characters indeed, a tine
ture of re semblance. to greater or less extent,
might be traced in the whole family. The point of
great difference between the two was that his be-
nevolence and charity were prospective; hers was
present and active; he pracnsed self denial for a
future good she to relieve the wants and necessi-
ties Of the poor around her, To visit the sick, and
comfort the afflicted; she WAS apparently cold in
disposition, bat her acts vindcated her character,
and endeared her TO a large circle of friends Her
children, who are now living are equal examples
for imitation; this same uait OF selfdenial (the
great gushing feature in the character of al
most all the family continues with them, aud,
coupled with IL, that self devotion TO acts Of charity
and goodness which Distinguish the mother.
