DIED

PHEBE JANE, daughter of Moses and Phebe
Gregory, departed this life April II, 1850,
aged five years. Her disease, supposed 10
be consumption, was tardy in its progress,
sometimes promising 10 reliuquish the pur-
suit Of its victim, and at others indicating
the near approach of the king of terrors.-
Under the circumstances, there were occa-
sionally Elusive prospects Of recovery, and
Immediately thereafter cause of the deepest
despondency furnishing lively emblem
of human life, consisting of alternate light
and shade. It is said she bore her af1liction
with remarkable patience for her tender
years, her temperament being mild and most
amiable. In this matter, the devoted and
bereaved mother had to struggle with the
mournfnl dispensation alone, the husband
and father pursuant to arrangement previ-
ously made, had set out for the land OF gold.
Domestic bereavements are sufficiently
distressing when parents are present to wit
ness the destroying power of death, and can
interchange their kindly sympathies, and
whisper a word of comfort. But when one
is necessarily absent, the calamity falls with
two fold weight upon the disconsolate one at
home. Whenever the tidings, however, shall
reach the fond hearted father in foreign
land, then will the tide ofsorrow flow as the
rush of the torrent. The family have our
strongest sympathy, both present and absent.
"The evening cloud, the morning dew,
The whitening grass, the fading flower,
OF earthly hopes, are emblems true
The glory of passing hour
But though earth's farest blossoms die,
And all beneath the skies is vain,
There is brighter world on high,
Beyond the reach Of care and pain"

Review Of Portsmouth Markets, for the
week ending Nav 6, 1850.

GENERAL REMARKS :--0ur business houses
represent the past week as unusually dull. Ihere
has been much rain and the roads are yet IN bad
condition. River is at fine stage for boatng
and the Ohio canal is also navgable. Our
cana! collector reports but little Grqights arriv-
ing through from Cleveland. We note the
following particulars Of our market for the
past week. -A a+
Flour AND GRAIN.--There has been specu-
lative inquiry for flour, and the supply Is
scarce in market. Flour from first hands IN
lots at $500 5,25 and 5,37a, at which market
closed on Saturday Early Monday morning,
(today,) canal -four is offered at $5,2O. 1t 49,
fair to conclude that the price will not recede
till harvest. Wheat is firm at 9Oc to $LOU as
to quality, Corn has advanced in price since
our last, and heavy transactions are reported,
We advance quotation to 5Oc per bushe ioi
sheIed corn. Oats are 37Ac from wagons and

Brandreth's Pills.

The Laborer, tired ana discontented with
his lot, and craving some stimulants, has taken
Brandreth's Pills, and soon his unnatural ap-
pettes have been corrected, and his health
being fully restored, contentment, like re-

his family and friends, seeing the change. have

Pills

ercise, soon becomes sick and emaciated, his

ments, should remember that health is always
within her reach, by taking few doses of
Brandreth's Pills; and with health, will come
beauty, cheerfulness and happiness. In fact,

A VICTIM.

"An orphan girl received the undivided
attention of a sui,or, and after q yenr or
two, a day was Sc, for their union. The
bridal dress and every other proper prepar-
alton was made. The hour arrived, the
company gathered 20 witness the marriage
tons TO deceive did not appear. The scene
was changed, mlrlh was silent, and pure
beings wep'. The hour was dark, but n
deeper darkness spread over The heart Of the
injured lady. A few days passed. md she
who had looked forward with bright anlci'
pations was q maniac! listened to her
cries, her MORNINGS. her wild de>pnir.-
In front of the cottage was q beautiful
grove where she wandered every day. II
not prevented by her friends, to pour OUT
her anguish. Though bereft OF reason the
grave to her had been al onsis, tor iher"
she listened as she believed to one that low
ed her more than himself. Let the young
and gullclesS females take warning. Mar
may smile and smile. and be william still.
Such things are of'wo frequent occurrence
No comment could make the enormous
guilt OF the base descr'er more consplcu
Gus. Who that has a heart, can need II
word more to excite his Indignation a,
such muderous condLct? To have taken
the fair ones life, would have been com,
parative kindness. Yet her situation fran
