A lady fell in love with him

THE BLIND.

By reference to an advertisement in anoth-
err column, it will be seen that the Board of
Directors of the N. c. Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb, have determined to intro
duce a department for the Blind.
1t was the original intention of the Legis-
lature to afford facilities for the instruction
Of the Blind as well as the Deaf and Dumb.
This has been delayed heretofore, in order
that one department might be fully organi-
zed before the other was introduced. This
department will be supplied with the most
competent teachers both in the intellectual
and musical courses of instruction. The
whole Institution, including the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind, will be under the su
perintendence of the present Principal, thu'
having the advantage of but one head, whc
will consult the interests of both alike,
The next Session will M on tn
fifteenth dag # July and parents or guar
dams having Blind children whom they wis
to enter, should apply as soon as p ssiJte t
w. D. Cooke, Principal of the Institution
who will give all the necessary information
on the subject. Many Of those who hav
blind or deaf and dumb children, not havin
; access to the public papers, remain in ignc
rance of the muniicence of the State, in PR
viding the means of education for their III
fortunate ofspring, and are therefore depr
we'd of the blessings in store for them.
l. Reader do you know of any deaf an
n dumb or blind person within the range
your acquaintance? A very little excrtiC
= on your part may secure to you the gratiic
ton Of having been instrumental in rescuir

In this City, of Pulmonary Disease, on the
morning Of the 3rd inst, Martha A. Psrtridge,
youngest daughter of The late Theodore Part
ridge, Esq, in the 2lst year of her age.
We make this mUurnful record with mingled
feelings of sadness and joy of sadness. in
announcing the death of one so young and love.
ly, whose unfolding piety might have shone as
a light in the world, whose early removal has
wrung many a fond and bereaved heart with
anguish of joy, in believing as we have eve
ry reason TO do, that God has taken such an
one to himself, and that she died in peace, sup
ported by a consciousness of her Sayiour's love
and presence.
Her decline was very gradual, and almost
imperceptible, in the earlier stages Of her dis
ease, and continued 50 Till within a few months
before her death. when she was confined to her
bed. And though her sufferings in these last
moments were occasionally great, she bore them
with marked patience and resignation.
She was a young lady of fine education,
gocd sense, and amiable manners. She was
greatly esteemed and beloved by her acquain.
lance Of every age, especially BY the young
as the unusually large number. and the deer
interest of such, at her funeral, abundant,
prove. At an early age she made a publil
profession Of religion, and united herself will
he Presbyterian Church. She lived a life q
consistent Piety,-and now, as we confdentl,
believe, sleepsi in Jesus.
In this City on Monday last, of pulmonar,
disease, Mrs. Sarah Ann Findlater, in the ut
; year of her age. The last few years of tn
life of our departed friend, were deeply afHict
ing. The heavy hand of disease and %sufferin
reduced her once beautiful and rounded form
destroyed the rose and planted the lily upo
her fading brow, and finally laid low in deaf
the former healthful countenance and chez
; ful heart of her who in life was the idol an
t delight Of her many warm and faithful friend
o But these Affections were submitted to wit
true christian patience and resignation, EN-
bling her to leave a testimony behind of h
acceptance with God, and an assurance to h,
numerous relatives and friends, that sorro
! and suffering are over with her forever.

JEFFERSON, n. G., March 26, 1851.

Bro. GoRMAN Perhaps you would like
to hear something about the state of the or
der in Ashe. We organized Ashe Divis-
ion, No. 112, as you know, about twelve
months ago, with only seven members, who
worked zealously in the cause for the first
nine months, with but little hope of success,
barely gathering in enough to fill the Offices.
However. that day has past and ] am glad
to be able to say to you, that the glorious
Temperance reformation is taking a rise
even in the mountains, and public opinion is
growing strong in our favor. During the
last quarter, we have initiated fourteen into
our Order, and have several propositions
now before the Division for action at our
next meeting. Among those initiated, were
two young merchants of high standing, who
were in the practice of dealing out to then
fellow-men the awful destroyer. who have de.
nounced cid Bacchus and walked into GU
ranks. May many others follow the ex
ample. Besides those, we have added t,
our numbers some of our most worthy, re
spectacle citizens. The strong opposition t.
our Order is fast giving way, making pros
poets for success in the future much NOR
brilliant than they have ever before BEEN
In conclusion, ! wish you great success /
the good cause, and may it spread far an
wide over our happy land, until king Alec
