DIED,

in Savannah, Ca, on the 10th instant, in the
eighteenth year of her age, after protracted i'll
mess, which she sustained with much patience and
christian resignation, Miss KATE SEYMOUR, the
only daughter OF Col. ISAAC G. SEYMOUR, proprie-
tor of the New Orleans Bulletin.
Her remains removed from Savannah to
Macon, the place of her birth, the 18th instant,
and were inferred on the evening of the following
day.
AT her residence in Spadng's District, in this
county, on Sunday, the Goth instant, Mrs. MARY
R. M. GUNTON, consort Of WILLIAM A. GUNToN,
esq.,, and daughter of JOHN B. MULLIKIN, in the
twenty seventh year of her age.
The duty devolved upon US in recording the
above is very melancholy one, for there are few
of our readers to whom it will not be the occasion
of much heartfelt sorrow. Possessed of quail
ties, both of head and heart, she long the de-
light of large circle of friends; and the same
qualities which then endeared her as companion
have since enabled her to sustain fully the nearer
and more responsible relations of wife and mo-
Their Her melancholy and premature decease
leaves vacuum which wholly irreparable,
but for the certainty that lasting reward has
been bestowed upon her, as the need of her many
and eminent virtues. This is the most ample con
soaton-as indeed it is Inc only one-that it is pos
sible to offer to those, her frends who are lament
ing under 80 severe a dispensation. Such Attic
tions as this-where those beloved for their exalted
traits and qualities are suddenly cut ofF-are the
most fruitful themes for grief; though surely with
out reason, as it is in these instances, and these
only, that we have guarantee so sure as to make
the affection more cause for JOY than for sorrow

individual operators. 1t sews every variety of ma
terlals, coarse or fine, CLOTH or LEATHER, with
marvellous rapidity and surprising strength and

orders are received for such machines to be fur
nished for $25. These machines are not in form
to be of any practical use. The two needles cut
