W Our breath Is in our most lis"

SUDDEN DEArH.-Yesterday, Rev. Mr.. Dickn-e
son, a Congregational Minister from Birmng an,
Conn. n friend of the Rev. Mr.. Guernsey, of the
Congregational Church of this city, arrived at
this place from his home in the East, on visit.
Not long after his arrival he was taken with
bleeding at the lungs, and before medical aid
could reach him, was dead, not living over five or
ten minutes from the time of his being takcn.-
The deceased has wife and three children ut
home, to whom his body is to be returned, a soul
less tenement. With what force must the above
quotation from Holy Writ, come to the hearts OF
the bercaved family, relations, and friends, from
whom he parted so short time since, in apparent
health. His body is to be taken East, accompa-
MED by Rev. MIR. Keith, of jackson County
Dubuque Tribune, 18th.
G.3' In the death of Rev. CHARLES DICKINSON,
the community in which he lived has lost an ex-
cellcnt citizen, the Church which he presided
an exemplary pastor, and we, who knew him well,
q firm, kind, generous friend Longing for the
free atmosphere of the West, where he could gaze
uron nlturc, and look from nature up to natures
God, he had given mp thu charge of the Church
over which he had watched with vigilance for
nearly eight years, and was on his way to Lansing,
preparatory to settling i'll that beautiful town on
the Mississippi. Dtath, however, has arrested
him in his carcer-the voice so often raised in the
l,ien;e Of right, Of religion, of Temperance, is
hlShel-;he heal; that pulsated for the woes and
miscr os OF humaut-. has ceased to beat,-the
kind friend the aifcct:onate husband, the bene-
factor and til, rh;lanthropist. has passed from
beyond the reach of the envy, malice anu discord
of this world to the realms Of more g.oroas
existence.
The deceased po3>osscl a clear and viso: Gus
mind, was imbucd with spirit of independence
which would not brook the sophistry of the world,
even in matters of religion. Plain, transformations
in his ha i;s, honest and sincere in his cony cons,
he sou hi at all times to utter such truths from
his pulpit as he considered his duty, though i'll
u;tcrng these truths he may have offended some
who make religion a traffic or means Of personal
| ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
But he has passed away-his deeds do follow
him, and we should be doing injustice to our own
feelings did we not pause amid the hustle of life
to drop tear to his memory. To his interest
ing family we extend our sympathy. They were
prepared to part with h,m-we believe they will
be prepared to meet him again.

| A judge gave Il dccis.o in a case which was
brought before him, adverse to the opinion of the
young lawyers, when the limbs of the law found
much fault with the judge and sought every oc-
casion to express their condemnation Of his
course. The Judge bore their insults for some
time, when, meeting them in crowded room, he
asked permission to tell little story. Pcrmis-
sion being granted, he proceeded.

beautiful little white house by the way-sidc." ca

gent bcauty--it was magnificent night--it
was magnificent moon, and that little dog came

cried out, ''whGt next, Judge?" The speaker, as

The barking of the dog at the moon, seems to
us to be applicable to the barking of the Pioneer
at Mr. Greeley, who is as FIR in advance of the
writer of the article as Paradise is from Pande-
monium. But aside from story telling, We think
such little assertions do no good but too often
place the object of the paragraph in a wrong
light.
