The death Of this esteemed lady calls upon all
who knew her, and especially her immediate neigh

God in taking her away for she was truly friend
indeed, having NJ power OF discrimination.
The Gigal Church, Of which she had been an
exemplary member precisely twcn'y-tw years. feels
truly that sister is gone; her mind being stored
with useful knowledge she exercised p GUS influ-
encc, which known aud especially felt by those
who came under her influence.
But her f;lilhlulnrss can be- compared to the pale
rays Of The moon, which could not give light, but the
reflected light Of Coils love being taken away the
Church can but see it, and mourn But her excel
lcnce and her loss is most known and felt by her
family, where she was truly the Otc, tht mother
and the mistress. Her dear husband whom she
has left little way behind, can take all the cons":a-
ton of that religion which Jesus gave them, know.
iur that his loss is her eternal gain. And most Of
her children being grown can t.kc the admonltlon,

FROM cIIPA

The Mobile Tribune has the following con-
cernins the state Of things ut Havana:
ave learn from gentleman who came pas
scngcr on the stcamahip Empire City, that I'M.
mense excitement and fear prevailed at Havana
among all classes, but more particularly y among
the Crcolcs. Armed soldiers in great numbers
are continually psrading The streets. Arrests
arc made Mt every honr Of the day, and no man,
e ss &; HIS sttrrz IN TIE mUrnmg with
any certainty of escaping the Moro or Pucnta
before night and if two men are seen standing
and talking in the street, no matter what may
be the subject of conversation, IN armed soldier
will approach md notify them to separatc-if
Americans, by the exhibition of :: printed docu-
ment; il native by peremptory order in
Spanish. Every person who enters the city is
closely watched mill he leaves, and every pre-
caution is taken to prevent any movement on
the part Of citizens against the government.
"This gentleman WAS informed by an AMer-
can who resides in Havana, that regular
Yankee trick was pla, Ell off on one Of their
steamers short time sinrc. 1t WAS TO the
effect that Il large brig with American colors,
lying outside the harbor, excited suspicious that
rhc had some smuggling operation IN view.
Under this impression, the authorities despatch
cd one of the steamers after her. She imtnc-
diatcly set sail, the scamrr following in her
wake, running close along reef that pro jrclcd
out like an elbow. She turned the point and
ran in Il willie 80 rs to put the steamer in line
across the breakers with her. Ina few minutes
the steamer struck on II point Of tie reef and
sunk. The brig then put out to sea with all
her cuors living. No one knew the naiac Of
the brig or whence she came"
