The LAST LYNcHBune TRAeEpY.--

The LAST LyNcHBuRe TRAGEDY
The Charlottesville (Va.) Advocate, Of
the 9Th instant, in abiding to the recent
dreadful tragedy, says:
"Miss Morris is raving maniac, and
threatens TO put an end 10 her existence il
her lover should not survive his wound
Mr. Morris proceeded home with bis daugh.
ter and the corpse Of his son, expecting that
the dreadful cslamities that had betaIlen
them would cause the death OF his wife.
THUS has ended one OF the most terrible
tragedies that has ever occurred upon the
soil Of Virginia. Nothing is wanting tc
render it compltee--love, mysery, madnes:
and death make up the scenes Of the bloody
drama. We trust that SO awful a lessor
will not be lost upon the community"

Obituary.

Died, in Philadelphia, on the 9Th inst,
Mrs. SARAH B, LEWIS, wife of Mr., B.
w. Lewis, OF Glasgow, Missouri, after q
most painful and ptotracted illness. Anlci.
pating recovery from long indisposilon in
change of climate, she left Missouri 10
April, with her husband, on tour, through
the Eastern and Middle States. She was
seriously i'll in Buffalo, and then again in
New York, and reached Philadelphia much
prostraled, and giving little assurance Of Ie,
covery. The most experienced and accom-.
plished Physicians exerted their skill in her
case, but it was the will OF God that she
should now, and in this place, finish her
| earthly course. She endured her excessive
pains with that womanly fortlude, for which
she was distinguished, and with all The pa.
tience and calm resignation OF Christisn.-
Her strong mind, her cheerful spirit and be-
nevolent regard to all around her, were con
spicuous during her whole sickness; and al.
though thrown in measure among stran.
gers. yet she received and enjoyed at their
hands every possible attention, and nothing
was left undone which could in sny degree
contribute 10 her comfort, her quiet, and her
happiness; and tears were shed by many al
her death, who had never seen her but in the
lest days Of her life. Sweet, indeed were
these kindnssses, and never can they be for.
gotten BY her surviving relatives and friends.
For many years Mrs. Lewis had been a
communing member in the Presbyterian
Church, in ST. Louis, under the pastoral care
OF the Rev. DR.. Potts, and the reality o her
profession appeared in her last hours OF trial.
She was regular in her seasons OF devotion
on her sick bed, and at other times engaged
in prayer TO God. She was ever open 10 re.
ligous conversation, and expressed her
strong confidence in, and love 10 the Lord
Jesus Christ, and her hope Of acceptance 10
Him, and Of partaking in His glory after
death. She frequently gave ulterance 10 this
hope, and that calmly and decidedly. Her
last acts were TO make disposition Of tome
little presents 10 her relations, and 10 give
directions, and some OF them minute direc-
tons, touching her death and burial; and ere
she committed her soul to the Lord, 10 take
one last affsctionats farewell Of her beloved
and afflicted husband. A few hours before
her death she replied to the question of a
friend, that "Christ Jesus was precious 10
her, and her hope in Him mistaken" And
thus she quietly breathed her last about noon
on Saturday, July 9Th.
Her funeral took place on the afternoon oil
the 9th, and shortly after her remains were
inferred in the Laurel Hill Cemetery.
A FRIEND.

COL. WIN. T. WOOD.

nounced this gentleman as candidate for
Judge Of the Supreme Court. We now take
occasion TO say that Col. Wood was, for
nearly fifteen years, resident oil this town;
and here, and in Clay county generally, the
name Of BILLY Wood" is as familiar as any
household word. He has ever been regar
ded as one OF the most honest Of men, as
sound and able lawyer, and in moral homes
ry above reproach. The office Of Supreme
Judge is one Of great responsibility, and
they who compose that cour, should be men
Invested Of all sefishness, all ul,erior polili.

The people should look to the character,

FEMALE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
ROCKVILLE, Mo.
TNHE Female Collegiate Institl

HNHE Female Collegiate Institute ives
Il organized on small scale, in 1910,
but with the fixed determination on the part
of It's founder, that no lobor or pains should
be spared to render 1t in every respect, wor-
thy Of public confidence.
At the last session of the Legislature an
act of Incorporation was passed, granting u
liberal charter, and comforting upon the insti-
tuition in this respect, all the advantages pvs-
sessed by the best regulated Female Colleges
in the country. BY this charter a board Of
Visitors was created, with such powers as
usually belong to a board of curators, and
authority was given TO confer upon students
who should successfully complete the course
of study, such literary honors as are usually
bestowed in the highest semnares of learn.
ing.
The Collegiate year will consist of two
sessions of five months each, commencing
on the first Monday in September and Feb
ruary respectively. The Anniversary of the
Institute will be held on the last Thursday
in June, proceeded by two days examination.
The months of July and August constitute
the only vacation. except recess of one
week at Christmas.
Admission, Expenses, Payments, dc.
Scholars will be admitted at any time du-
ring the year, although it is very desirable
that they should enter as near the commence
ment oI the session as possible. Scholars
will be charged from the time they enter I'M
til the close of the session, deduction being
made only for absence on account of sickness.
Boarding scholars are expected to reside in
the family of the President, where every ar
rangement will be made to promote their
comfort, happiness, and progress in study.

dent of the Institute. J. L. TRACY.

RoAsoKE. Mo, July %, 1851.
Ma. GRErN- Sir: notice you have ia
ken the account Of the effrey between Mr..
Henry Best and bis son, from the Bruins
ieicker, which is an incorrect statement Of
the case; and it being bad enough at best, !
will thank you 10 publish this in your col
umns. The aaiay commenced es follows:
Best and his son, (about Is years OF ageO
had some short words before leaving the
harvest field, upon which the son threatened
to his younger brothers 10 kill his father if he
interrupted him.
When the son returned 10 The house he
took seat in the door, and the old man in
passing in by him rauled pair Of temples
ebove his head, upon which the son ordered
him to put them away. The father ordered
him out OF the yard and passed inlosbe house
and got the shovel when he returned 10 the
door he found the son had prepared himself
with some stones, with which he commep ced
throwing. In the act Of lodging The father
fell to the ground. The son seized board,
ran and struck him two severe blows on the
head, knocking him SPECIFICS and lacera>
ting his scalp considerably and one blow on
the back Of bis hand. The negro boy then
caught the young man, to keep him from
killing his father. A younger son (about / 2
years old) seeing the father stretched upon
the earth, and thinking him killed ran up
while the boy was holding his brother and
plunged the knife into his abdomen, innict,
ing wound which proved fatal in thiuy>six
hours. The young son never left home, nor
had the old man had any difficulty with his
wife, as stated by the Brunswicter. The
father and his young son had an impartial
lial trial before two Justices, on the 17lh
inst, and were acquitted. JUSTICE,

When the lime comes for action we
have faith to believe that the whole
country will demand the nomination of
Gen. Cass.--Detron Free Press.
Now you do not believe any such
thing, nor does any body else. You
know that the friends of Van Buren,,
Benton and Buchanan, and that the
whole State Rights wing of the demo-
crazy in the Southern States will not
support him if nominated.
If Gen. Cass could be complimented
with q nomination without letting the
Wings into power for four years longer,
we would give him the compliment.
Blu, we would certainly prefer Fri.
umph with some new man like Douglas,
Dodge, Lane, Wool, Woodbury., But.
Ter, Houston, &c. &c, TO being beaten
with General Cass. 1t does not pay to
stay out ofpower four years as com.
pliment TO Gen. Cass, when we have
already been out four years.

mocracy as against Gen. Scott Ifhe
cannot, his duty and that of his friends
