DIED.

At her residence in Mill Point, on Sabbath morn
ing, Aug %, of bowel complaint, Mrs CATHA-
RINE HOPKINS, relict of the late Benjamin HOP |
kins, aged go years.
This estimable woman died as she had lived, a
christian She made profession of religion about
the year 1920, uniting with the Presbyterian
Church in Johannesburg, Tompkns Co., N. y
Since that time, though none knew and felt her
defects like herself her life has been such as to
commend the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ to
all around her. With her late husband and fami-
ly she was among the earliest settlers of this part
of the Grand River valley, and she partook of the
hardshps of new settlement with uncomplain-
ing patience. Possessing vigorous intellect and
q warm heart, she carefully cultivated her own
mind, and endeavored to instill into the hearts of
her children the principles of virtue and religion.
She was "given to hospitality" Her house was
always open to the stranger, and the needy around
her will bless her memory, for she was generous
and liberal almost to excess. Her health for
many years had been increasingly feeble, and she
seemed to live in constant expectation of the
Masters appearance, often speaking of death with
the greatest composure and strong assurance
of well grounded faith in the Redeemer of men,
Her last illness short her enfeebled system
making slight resistance to the power of the dis
aware that her end was near, and so confident
that means would be unavailing for her recovery,
that she felt unwilling her anxious friends should
be deprived of their rest in caring for her. AS she
drew near her end she conversed with difficulty,
but whenever she could speak, she gave the fullest
evidence that her faith in Christ was strong, and
her peace like a river full, flowing and constant.
And when apparently unable to articulate, occa-
sonally when the subject was mentioned, her eye
would knde with speaking delight and herwhole
countenance be lighted up with unearthly brill
fancy, reminding one of the appearance of Moses,
when just returned from immediate communion
with God She had endured severe Distress but
toward the last her pains were less, and at half
past IL on Sabbath morning, she fell asleep in the
arms of Jesus as peaceful and quiet a summer
sunset, and we doubt not went to spend her Sab.

CONCORD, New HAMPSHIRE,


CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE,
June IL, 1852,
GENTLEMEN | have the honor to acknowl-
edge your personal kindness in presenting 10
me this day your letter officially informing me
of my nomination, by the Democratic National
Convention. as n candidate for the Presdency-
of the United States.
The surprise with which | received the in
tegence of the nomlAation was not unmDgled
with painful solicitude, and yet it is proper for
me 10 say that the manner in which il was con
ferred was peculiarly gratifying. The delega-
ton from New Hampshire, with all the glow
of State pride and all the warmth of personal
regard, would not have submitted my name 10
the Convention, nor would they have cast
vote for me, under circumstances other than
those which occurred.
| shall always cherish with pride and graft
tude the recollection OF the fact tina, the voice
which first pronounced for me-and pronounc-
ed alone-came from the mother OF States-a
pride and gratitude rising far above any conse-
quences that can betlde me personally.
May not regard II as fact pointing to the
overthrow of sectional jealousles, and looking
to the perennial HE and ylgor oil Union ce-
mented by the blood OF those who have passed
to their reward-a Union wonderful IN It's form
alton, boundless in its hopes, amazing IN Its
destiny! accept the nomination, relying
upon an abiding devotion TO the interests, the
honor, and the glory of our whole country, but
beyond and above all, upon Power superior
TO all human might-a Power which, from the
first gun of the Revolution. in every crisis
through which we have passed, in every hour
of our acknowledged peril, when the dark
clouds have shut down around us, has inter
posed as if 10 battle human wisdom, outmarch
human forecast, and bring out Of darkness the
rainbow OF promise. Weak myself, faith aud
hope repose there in security accept the
nomination upon the platform adopted by the
Convention. not because this is expected OF me
as candidate, but because the principles II EN-
braces command the appreciation OF my Judg-
ment; and with them believe can safely say
there has been no word nor act OF my lie IN
conflict
! I.have only to tender my grateful acknow'-
edgments to you, gentlemen, TO the Conyen-
ton of which you were members, and to the
people of our common country
am, with the highest respect, your most
