Died, IN Chatham county on the 18th
inst, Miss N. H. Fooshe, after an illness of
seven days. The deceased was an active and
Jealous member of st. Mary's Union, No. Ii,
daughters of Temperance, and in her death
the Union has experienced the loss of one of
Its most useful and worthy members. She was
the pride and joy o fher relations, beloved and
respected by all who knew her, for her many
excellent qualities, generous disposition and
benevolent heart. And while we mourn her
loss, we mourn not as those who have no hope,
TOR her last health was spent in praising God.
Tor his goodness and mercy. Though the
memory of our departed Sister, from time to
time may renew the anguish and open the
wound which seemed to be closed, and by re-
calling joys which are passed and gone, touch
every spring of painful s~enslbility yet in these
agonIzing moments, how cheering and consol-
ing is the thought that our separation is only
temporary. That there is a time to come when
we shall be reunited with our Sister, with
whom our happiest days were spent whose
joys and sorrows once were ours, whose piety
and virtue cheered and encouraged US, and
from whom, after we shall be landed on the
peaceful shore, where she dwells, no change or
revolution of nature, shall be able to part us.
On acall meeting of the Union, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted.
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God,
in his Divine Providence, 10 remove from our
midst, our beloved and respected Sister, n. H.
Fooshe, we shall truly and sensibIy feel her
loss, both in the Union and ordinary saiis OF
life. Therefore,
Resolred, That while we deeply depiore the
loss of our Sister, we tender to her relation:
and friends, our most heartfelt sympathy, in
their sad bereavement, and sincerely eondole
with them, in the deep grief into which the!
are thrown.
ResolUed, That as atoken of regard. for GU,
Sister, We wear a badge of mourning for thirty
days.
RESOLVED, That blank Leaf in our minute
book, be inscribed to the memory of our de
ceased Sister.
Resolred, That a copy of these proceeding
be forwarded to the relations of our deceaset
Sister, and one TO the Editor of the Spirit c
the Age, with a request that he publish tn
same.

Bro. GoRMxN Since your delightful pa
per has been taken by several members of our
Division, we have seen communication from
a great many Divisions, telling their numbers,
&c. &C., and while reading these communica-
tons we have looked, but looked in vain, for
something from Woodville Division, No. 207;
and although we would rather see something
from almost any other pen than ours, yet, as no
one else will write, we are resolved that our
Division, prosperous as it is, and as it still bids
fair to be, shall not be behind all others in
communicating it to you.
We were, as you know, instituted in De
eember last. Our place of meeting is in a
small village, consisting only of one store and
two or three families; and thai store previous
to the formation of our Division was a liquol
selling establishment, but since that time, it ha:
been a Son-ot-T Temperance store (if we MAJ
be allowed to use that expression. for it is KEEP
by two Sons Of Temperanee) We now mum
Der nearly fifty members. and arc gradual,
increasing. We think we can say we havi
done great things, whereof we are glad 70
but a short time since we were instrumental j
shutting up the liquor selling part of anothe
store near our Division, by initiating its intell
gent owner into our Division.

FRENCH BROAD. June Gath, 1851.
Bro. GoRMAN:-I take great pleasure in
informing you that q number of the Sons Of
Temperance of Reems' Greek Division, met on
Big Ivy, on the 2lst inst, to organize a Divis.
ion in that section. We met most of the nett.
TONERS, who seemed determined to perseycre
in their p~raiseworthy resolutions. Big Ivy
Division, No go, Of the Sons of Temperance,
of Buncombe county, N. c., was instituted
by the appointment of the following officers
who were regularly installed, viz Samuel F.
Williams, w P; NJ II Caron, w A; James
G Blackstock, r S; Madison Greenwood, F
SAB Roberts. T; Garrett A Roberts. c
Charles M Roberts, A C; Alfred Andrews,
Is; Martin W~hittamore, o S..
This Division goes to work with fair pros
poets Of success, if prudence and reason are
allowed their perfect work.
/ desire to suggest to you the propriety, I'll
il be allowed,O of permitting the newly Install
ed officers to continue in office during the ap.
preaching Quarter. The time is so short that
Think there would be nothing in that permis.
sion which would violate the spirit Of the Con.
s~titution. / hope you will not withhold the
'pass word" from ~them-waiting the returns
from that D%ivition, as they will have no re
turns to rake.
The same may be said OF Warm Spring
Division" which has been lately organized
and will perhaps have no returns to make.
would also suggest the same things respecting
the continuation of their officers during tht
approaching Quarter. Please give to each o
the Division named, your opinion on this sub
ject at your earliest convenience.
The order seems prosperous here, gaining
new friends and member constantly from al
ranks, classes and professions, with a few ex
ceptions. Ultimate success is inevitable, if W.
are but faithful to ourselves and our cause.
Ishall be much pleased with any suggestion
you may please to make respecting the genera
interest or any particular department of on
extensive and extending Order. We neet
information and court encouragement.
With sincere desires for the prosperity @
our common cause am, dear sir, yours, in L

BIO. GoRMAN Having never seen anything
in your very valuable and much esteemed fam
lily aud Temperance paper respecting our little
Town Creek Division, which is situated in the
county Of E5gecombe about twelve miles from
Tarboro', and deeming it worthy of notice, we
propose giving you some intelligence respect
inc the same. This Division is now in its in
fancy, having been organized only about eight
weeks ago, then numbering thirteen members
now about thirty, and several petitions received
at the laot meeting, praying for admittanee
into our order, all Of whom are very worthy
and INTELLIGENT men of Nash and Edgecombe
counties. Within its walls are to be found the
siIvery locks of old age and the young and
curly locks of youth, and we are proud to say
some among the most intelligent and learned
men Of the county, who seem to regard the
cause with so much eagerness and energy, that
thew are to be always found at the regular
meetings. Almost every member belonging to
the Division lives in the immediate neighbour
hood, which is accountable for our societys
numbering so few at this time. We hope
now, that wheat-treadings are about over, that
new applications will come in somewhat thick.

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

The oath of june, 1851, was celebrated
in Oxford, by the Masons of Tuscarora
Lodge, together with the visiting brethren
from many adjacent Lodges. 1t was a fine
clear day, opening with all the calmness and
loveliness of nature, as if made more pure by
the services to be performed in honor of him
whose benevolence and virtues were upon
this bright and beautiful day to be celebra-
ted. History, neither sacred nor profane,
nor does Masonic tradition furnish the name
of n in whose character is blended SO many
virtues, admired by mar and approved by
Deity, as the Patron St John the Bap-
tiist," and who exemplifed in his life and
character those tenets which are SO much rev.
cred by Masons and so necessary to aid in
} the ful6lment of that high destiny which
becomes every true member of the order
This occasion was one upon which all thing
by tendency seemed to favor harmony anC
f good feeling. and never more strikingly il
E Illustrated the Importance of that rule, en-
e couraging a noble rivalry in the "perfec
ton of work and agreement"
