His country, the South, and its future were
all to him. He did not care about his own
future 1t was a small matter in his eyes, as
the following notes will show. For two days
before he died, when it was generally known In
the CITY that he could not live, many visitors
called at the house. His physician, DIR. Hail.

An extraordinary meteor was seen at Cuoa'
Allegheny County, on Saturday night week.
which, according to correspondent OF the n
Y. Evening Post, was apparently nearly as

not greater than star of the first magnitude.
The light was brilliant as Frensel, and flash
