OBITUARY..

On the death Of ROBERT NJ, JOHN T., and CALI
FoRNIA J. CARR, who died at Locust Grove,
Faquer county, Va, within days from the
death of the first to the last respectively aged
4, 6 and years.
1t is seldom, and rare indeed, that we are called
upon to record an aiiliction, or Gispensation of
Providence like the above. Not often is the swift
messenger Of death commissioned to enter
family circle, and from its lovely group pluck
from their parent stem, three buds of earth lust
beginning expand: and, shew to idolzing eyes
the freshness of their bloom and beauty that gave
promise Of the rarest Of flowers. But so it is,
and while the heart, in the bitterness of its an
guish bewails its loss and disparngly mourns
Faith, the christians hope. trumphantly points to
another sphere, where, in eternal bloom and
beauty, the children Of our love and anxious
care are but so many jewels added to the crown
of Him, who while on earth, declared "of such
is the kingdom Of Heaven"
Then mourn not, though sorcly tried,
Ye parents Of the dead,
For you, and them a saviour died.
'Remssion s blood was shed.''
IT'S said that death, shining spoil,
Forever loves to take
To shield it from earth S care and toll
A heaven of beauty make.
Yes, then on high to heav'n above
That group Of three are gone;
Angelic voices tun'd with love
Unite in praise as one.
Then parents of the lost and dead,
Let this thy solace be;
They're happier in their narrow bed,
For Christ has set them free
And by His holy word this hope was given,
They re now at rest with Him in heaven.

Wha, were the actual expectations, can
not venture TO say but every reasonable
expectation mus. have been more than sat-
isfed. Whatever it is in the power of a
prohibi,ory law to accomplish without ex
'reme severity or .inquisilorial scrutiny, this
law has generally, in my opinion, accom-
plished. Those who arc benz upon obtain
ing liquor can and do succeed but it has
ceased to be an article Of traffic; it has ceas-
ed to presen, any open temptation the
young are comparatively safe, and ell the E.
wills Of public drinking shops and bars are
removed, together with the interest of
large body of men in UNFOLDING them for
their own pecuniary advantage.

THE METeoRs.-We watched for the an.
nusl meteoric shower on the evenings of
the 18Th and l4,h, but saw nothing Of the
display. We remember most wildly the
one that occurred on the 18Th of November
1888, which was one of the most wonderful
ever recorded. The meleors seemed to
fall IS thick as fakes Of snow in snow
soim, and many thousands were seen in the
course Of few hours. Muller calculates
tina, in nine hours, no less than two hun
bred and f"rty thousand fill. Many per-
sons, much frightened o, beholding the stars
falling as they conceived, TO the earth, sup
posed That the day Of final judgment was
about 10 come, and were relieved when Il
clear and serene day dawned, and the
phen omenon ceased. Blu, such estimates
are general, vague, and unsatisfactory. Such
was the rspIdily with which they fell ,ha,
no one could count them; and such the
expanse Of The heavens which they covered,
that no estimate could approximate to the
truth. We witnessed them for several hours
from an eligible point on The top of one
Of The highes, buildings in the city. The
whole heavens, east, west, north, and south,
from the "zeni.h to the nadir," were covered
with them, and they retired only before the
light Of the uprising sun. The spectacle
was one Of the mos, grand and sublime we
ever looked upon.-.Nat. Inl

SEEDING WHEAT.-We believe that much
less than the usual quantity of wheat will
be seeded this fall, owing to the difficulty
of procuring guano in proper time. Many
of the farmers in this neighborhood are yet
seeding, and we fear December will find
them still so engaged. OF course as full q
crop cannot be expected under such cir
cums,ances. Guano, it seems, has become
necessity to our farmers, and we consid-
er the fact an honest source Of regre'.-St.

Alexander Dumas, the famous French
wriler,is astonishing his coun,rymen, at the
facility with which be pours out his novels,
dramas, Sc, making it now, we believe, a
point, to produce play in a shorter time
than il takes the actors TO commi. il to mem
DRY. His admirers are in rap,ures at this
pr oof of his genius, and saw, tina, the faster
he composcs, the more brilian! is the result
Of his abors. If he goes on, they anticipate
that his works will exceed in variety, copi-
business, extent, length and breadth, those
of any other author, ancient or modern.

SLAVE EXCITEMENT IN Missouri
From the 81. Louis Republican, we learn
that there is great excitement in some
parts Of Missouri, on account of the unruly
slaves.
There was q mass meeting of the citizens
Of Howard county, at Fayetle, on the 2lst
October, a. which Saml. C. Major presi-
ded, and G. Nj. B. Maughs acted as secre,a-
Iry. The preamble adopted at this meeting
sci forth that numerous and repeated acts
of disobed!ence and outrage had occurred
throughout the country among the slave
population, resulting in death, Sc, in view
of which it was resolved, tina, a committee
OF six be appointed for the purpose of wait
ing upon those persons standing security for
slaves and to notify said persons that such
slaves mus. be given up to their masters,
and also to notify all free persons Of color
that they shall leave Faye.se and vicinity by
the first day Of December, 1853.
Two other vigilance committees were sp-
pointed.
Another meeting had convened a. Palmy-
ra, Warren county, for the same purpose.

The news by the Atlantic is highly inter-
es,ing. Although the intelligence is of such
a character as 10 render it somewhat diff

are enabled to gather The details of the events
tina, have thus far transPired. A decisive
battle was momentarily expected
repor, he's it that j, has already been fought
at or near Eucharist, and victory is various
ly assigned TO either side. The only relia-
Bile statement of any repuse to the Turks
was that they were compelled to evacuate
the island in front of the strong Russian po-
si.ion of Giurgero.
In addition to the intelligence referred to,
despatch received last evening from New
