time Of 6 months from the period of its re-
commencement This truly magnificent
structure is wall Of solid masonry, built
entirely of cut stone, SO feet high at its
highest point, and is probably second to
no similar work in the Union, unless it be
the Croton Water Works dam in the Vi

human appearance the greathills by which
it is surrounded will be lcvellcd with the

OBITUARY,


Died at the residence Of his sonir law Junius A.
Clay, Esq, of Bedford county, on Tuesday the OH
inst. in the e9th year of his age Mr. john L.
CONS.
The venerable man, whose death is here record
ed, enjoyed the respect and confidence Of all who
knew him. lie was one of the oldest citizens Of the
county, and for many years past had acted III the
capacity ola magistrate To kind and generous
heart he United all those virtues which were pccu,
culiar to the men who were reared dcring the days
Of the revolution Industry, integrity, eendor and
simplicity were the prominent trrits in Ms charac
ter. Endowed with vigorous mind, his opinions
on all subjects were generally correct. His firm
ness and evenness of temper conspicuous both
in prosperity and in adversely. Those qualities
doubtless sustained his naturally strong constitu-
ton, and contributed in no .n,t degree TO lengthen
his life to nearly four score years and ten. III hnn
terruptcd health. Whatever share in the ills Of
life fell to his lot he bore with cheerful and con-
tented mind. His was not murmuring spirit, but
one that was patient and submissive, and satisfied
with the wisdom and bencvolence of the ways of
Providence. He had trained numerous offspring
to act well their part in their respective stations In
life. He enjoyed the comfort Of seeing one Of his
sons elevated to the Episcopaic Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, in the Diocese Of Alabama, af
ter most active and dseia ministry in his native
county and State. A most remarkable and deeply af
fecting event in his history, was that he himself
was among the hrst, on whom the hands OF that
were laid in the apostolic rite ofconfrmation That
was touching incident Of which some notice ap-
peared at the time in the Southern Churchman,-a
venerable fa.hcr bending his hcats kcad 10 receive
the benedcttdh az HIS sbn, who had been called to
the highest Office IN the church, indeed an unu-
sunl and impressive We read of fathers
blessing Their sons; but this reversing the order
ofnature-it Vas tho son blessing the father. and
trust the blessing then INVOKED tith flial afiec
ton and piety vouchsafed, and thai hating con-
tnued faithful to the in whose service he
gagged, he has at length 'come into his everlasting
kingdom"
The deceased, during his last illness, evinced the
utmost patience and submission to the will Of his
Heavenly Father. Impressed from the first, that
his sickness was unto death he calm and
disturbed He felt no fear Of death and no desire
to live longer. He always seemed to enjoy the
devotional services hcld in hts sick room and re-
ceived with dcvout and revcreni heart THE holy
communion, a few days before his death. On the
very evening Of kis departure, scarcely hour be-
fore hi. spirit fed, his minister prayed with him
and at the conclusion Of the prayer, the tongue
of the dying patriarch pronounced distinct and
emphatic amen Thus calmly and piousy did
he breathe his las; breath in prayer.
