OBITUARY.

Died, in Charles county, on Tuesday, the 10th
inst, at the residence of her law, MARY
JANE, wife of J. THADEUs BRAwNER, in the 23d
year of her age.
In this vale of tears life's pathway is often
strewn with the buds of promise that are nipped
by the frosts of unsparng Death. The subject of
this tribute was known by many noble traits of fe
male tenderness and christian sympathy. Though
short her career, yet the meekness of her spirit.
the fervour of her pety, and the latitude of her
charity had endeared her to all who knew her !;
and these harmonizing with elegance of person and
grace of mind rendered her pure and perfect,
that it might with truth be said, that Angels watch
ed DER her
eyes, she was good as she was fair,
None, none on earth above her;
As pure in thought as angels are !;
To see her, was to love her.
She leaves behind her dsconsolate husband and
tender infant, with relatives numerous and friends
innumerable to mourn their irreparable loss. Her
illness proved the efficacy of an unsullied con-
science in quieting the last moments of expr-
ing soul. She endured her protracted suffering
with a martyrs fortitude. Love and Hope, like
twin Angels, wing to wing, lowered DER her till
terrorless Death afforded relief.
'sThe spoiler set
His seal of silence but there beamed smile
So fixed and holy from that marble brow.
Death gazed and left it there he dared not steal
The signet-rng of Heaven"

FIRE.-A FIRE occurred in Port Tobacco
on Sunday morning last, abou, IL o'clock,
which greatly endangered the Dwelling and
Kitchen Of our ellow-townsman, E. w.

which fresh ashes had been placed early in
the morning. This on fire, the fame was
Immediately communicated to frame build
ing used as wood-house, close to which
stood the barrel Before the fire was dis
covered, it had made considerable progress
upon the building, rendering it utterly i'm
possible to save it, with the means at hand.
Fortunately the wind, which blew from the
South, was favorable and caused most of the
sparks and cinders to fly past the dwelling.
A tree, with thick green foliage, standing be-
tween the wood-house and kitchen, protect
ed the gable end Of the latter from the in
tense heat. The loss sustained is trifipg;
but we notice it for the purpose of impress
ing upon the minds of others the import
ance Of having ashes deposited where they
can do no harm. A great many destructive
fires have been caused by the shoughiless-
ness and want of care on the part Of house
keepers and servants in disposing of ashes
when jus. taken from the stove or fireplace

for over quarter Of a century has held such
an eminent position in American literature,
took place at l o'clock on Sunday af,erno IN,
the 14th inst, at his residence in Coopers-
town. For several months past, his health
has been in condition which awakened the
anxiety of his friends, although with a Wig
orous constitution and temperate habits.
they could not but anticipate his attainment
to ripe old age. His death will call forth
an emotion Of sadness, ,hrough lou, the whole
extent of our country, for there are few who
do not deem themselves his debtors, for ma
ny hours of the purest intellectual gratfica-
ton, while the most remarka able features ol
American scenery have been invested with
new charm by the magic touches of his
pen. Nor in his native land alone will the
announcement of his decease strike tender
chord in the memory, and recall the deligh,
with which the Imagination has revclIed in
his fresh and glowing pictures of nature and
passion. His fame is not only co-extensive
with the English language, but his works
have become permanently incorporated with
the best literature of every civilized coun-
try. Without ceasing to be American, he
