We fud in ihe Richmond Enquirer Of
he i7sh nIs, taken from the Lynshburg vir
ginian an interesting account of THE fune.
al proceedings OF Mr.. Terry late Editor Of
the last paper. In our last weeke issue.
I've noticed the unfortnnatc afTray which
resulted 50 fatally, in.the Death both Of Mr..
Terry and Mr.. Sanders s4
1t appears that Mr. Terry was univer-
sally beloved and respected. Whilst his
funeral was going forward the Supreme
ECourt adjourned and the business houses
of The c.sy were closed as a mark Of re.
Espeet 10 tho deceased.
An amiable widow and four interesting G
Iofphaps are left to mourn this IRE parable
loss. But says one who was wise Il have
never seen the righteous forsaken. nor hie
seed begging bread;;" and now when this
man. in the p.ide Of his strength - in
the noonday os his usefulness, is strsckea
downs il does our heart good to chronicIe q
mobile act. of benevo.ence for which the
generous citizens Of Ldnchburg are deserv~
ing Of all honor aud all praiss. II is one
sof those rare tributes to the living and the
the dead which abounds more in in good
works than in good words.
After his remains had sbeens committed
70 their last resting place, IL was suggested
thar something might be done for the des
titute stricken ones that the "lamented
dead had left behind him. With electric
rapidity say the Yirglnian. ",rhe generous
thought spread throngh the town giving
Joy aud gladness co the countenances of
men, and now. making them feel happy in
the prospect of doing good. In eight hours
from that moment as many thousand dol
lars in cash, were raised for this nob.e pur
pose--and other certain contributions pro-
rnised enabling us to state The CRAFTY facts
that the citizens of Lynchburg will imme~
diatey invest the snm Of TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS as permentf fund to rear and ed
ucase these dear children, in manner com
mensurase with their worth. and the fond
hopes and aspirations Of their noble father
