DEATH OF Hon. ]. R. PoIyTsETT.-We
regret to announce the death of this gentle
man, on Friday last, at the residence of Dr.
w. Anderson, Statcburg, Sumter District.
Mr.. Poinsetts health has been very feeble for
some time past, and he had been suffering
from pulmonary complaint for several
years.
Mr. Pointsctt is known to the whole na-
ton, and at different periods occupied various
responsible positions under the Government.
IF we mistake not, he represented Charleston
district in 1928, and was prominent in the
debate which took place on the Intervention
Of our government in favor of Greece. He
subsequently received IN appointment as
Minister to Mexico, and acquired much popu-
larity from his intrepidity in unfurling the
American flag from a balcony, when his resi-
dence was beset by furious mob, who were
bent on its destruction, because persons OBJ
noxious to them had found sanctuary there.
His efforts were successful. and The mob dis
persed. During the administration of Prcsi-
dent Jackson he was appointed Secretary of
War. which he continued to hold through
Mr.. Van Buren's term of office, with which
he retired to private life.
Mr.. Pontsctt was born in 1779, and was
consequently in the scvcnty-third year of his
age.-South Carolinan.

which represent Mr. Chy's health as critical

Mr.. Greeley, of the Tribune, who is I'M

stating that Mr. Clay's determination not to
be candidate for the Presidency is fixed and
unaltcrable, as he feels that his earthly career
is near its close.

A Touching Incident.

Some two years ago, says the Water
vile Mail, Mr.. Edlon s. Moody, Of Mon>
mout, went to California, leaving his
wife and young child with her mother in
Boston. The correspondence between
the husband and wife was regularly kept
up, and the wish was often expressed by
the former. that his young wife would
join him in the far off land of gold but
The definite plan and arrangements for
this object had been deferred. A short
time since letter from the absent hus
band pictured again the prospects that
-heercd his long and weary absence. and
touched again the hope that the time
would soon come when he should find it
proper to make arrangements for his
wife and child to join him in Sanfrancis-
CO. The heart OF the affec,ionate woman
cast the questions OF safety and economy
to the winds. and shs resolved, in spits
tof all obstacles, 10 start Immediately for
California, and surprise her husband by
her unexpected arrival.
She started, and almost on the day
that she landed in California. with heart
|
swelling to meet her.husdand. that hus-
band landed n the city Of Bostonl He
had made sudden determination, insti.
gated by poor health. TO return home
His serious disappointment. connected
withe loss of portion Of his hard earn
ed property by the failure of New
York house to whom he had entrusted
it. SO wrought upon his declining health
that he survived but about one week. and
WAS Brought to Monmouth for burial q
few days since. No details Of the poor
wife's dreadful disappointment have yet
been received but the thought that.
whatever may have been its effect. .

a most painful feature to the picture.

In the case of Mrr. Lum. Us. the Maui
gatuck Railroad company, for injuries
sustained BY the ,unning off the track
and turning over the car on the 9Th OF
Oc;.1e49,in which she was passengers
the court assessed the damages at S.
500. This is a severe amount for the
company-yet the injuries to Mrs Lum,
were OF o very sever character. In
short, her health is forever Destroyed in
consequence Of the accident. The same
company was also assessed another thou
sand dollars for injuries sustained BY a
Mrs. Burr, on tile occasion referred to-
It seems that in these cases, no jury
was called, the damage in each being
awarded by Judge Ellsworth after the
usual examination of witnesses. The
way that damages have been rendered
against rail road corporations the past
year IS certainly caution to thsm.-
Some or all Of these roads must suffer
some depression in the value of their
stock f:om these causes.
