Died,

On the evening Of the 9Th inst, at the resi-.
dence Of VIM. B. Madden, Esq, in this county,
Mrs. ELEANOR J. JErER, aged - years and 5
months.
The deceased has, for several years, been a
member of the Baptist Chutctl-a meek and p-
Gus Christian sincere friend, and a warm and
devoted mother. She was the subject Of a long
indisPosition, but bore the tortures of the relent-
less disease with Christian fortitude. She was
perfectly resigned to the will of God, and passed
away into the arms of her Saviour, as one falling
into a pleasant sleep. She leaves a bereaved son,
and a large circle Of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss, yet they are consoled by the re-
Election that "iheir loss is her eternal gain.s-
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord"

INTEREsTTNG DiscoVFRIEs tn PERSIA. .AA
mixed commission which embraces England
Rnssia and Persia, is now engaged in estab-
fishing the boundary line between Persia and
Turkey, about which theTehas long been diff
ficulties. Col. Williams, we'll known to many
Americans, and a man OF character and talent,
is the English commissioner, and on the au-
thOrity Of a scientific American writing from
Persia, the Boston Chronicle relates the fol-
lowing. -.r ...
In the prosecution Of this work the commits
slOners have come upon the remains Of the an
cient palace Shushan mentioned in the sacred
books Of Esther and Daniel, together with the
tomb OF Daniel, the Prophet. The locality an
swers to received tradition of its position, and
the internal evidence, arising from its CORES
pondenee with the description Of the palace
recorded in the sacred history, amounts almost
to demonstration. The reader can turn to
Esther, chap. l., v. 6. there he will read of
pavement Of red, and blue, and white, and
black marble in that palace" That pavement
still exists, and, as described by Col. Will
Hams, corresponded to the description given
thus in the sacred history. And III the mar
bic colums, dilapidated ruins, the sculpture
and the remaining marks of greatness and
glory that are scattered around the commits
sioners read the exact truth Of the record made
by the sacred penman.
Not far from the palace stands tomb on
1t Is sculptured the figure Of a man bound
hand aud foot, with huge lion in the act of
springing upon him to deVour him. No his
tory could speak more graphically the story
Of Daniel in the Lions Den The commits
sioners have with them an able corps of engi-
neers aud scientific men, and most interesting
discoveries may be expected. The Persian
arrow heads are found upon the palace and the
tsmb. Glass bottles, elegant as those placed
rpon the toilet table of the ladies Of oar day,
have been discovered, with other indications
Of art and refinement, which bear out the
statements Of the Bible. Thus, twenty five
huddred years after the historians of Ester
and Daniel made their records, their histories
are verified by the peaceful movements Of the
nations of cur day.
