Obituary..

Died, at his fathers residence in this county, on the
3Oth ult., Archer LANE HARRIS, son of Mr. Marcus
Harris, in The 18th year of his age.
The death Of one who is near and dear, is always
affecting and heart-rending. But when one dies at
that interesting period Of life, when the fresh and buoy
ant hopes Of youth swelling the bosom, and all
those lovely prospects which render life charming gid
hearts Of surviving friends. There are many, very
many, whom this sad has stricken with poignant
grief for the ties which bound him to his friends were
tender nd.strong. They sought and enjoyed his So
cety, for he was full Of life and chcerfulness They
loved him, for he worthy of their love; they adj
mred him. for he gifted with talents that merted
their admiration; they weep for him, for alas he is
now no more His memory will be carefully treasur-
ed in many sorowing hearts, for in his brief career he
has made an impression upon many which will cont-
nue. in melancholy freshness through life. His death
is bereavement not only to his family, but to AFT
the community; and the tears Of many sympathizing
friends are cordially mingled with those OF his afflicted
father and relations. NJ
Died. on the 22d Of June, near Hartshorn, in Ala
nance county, Mrs. LEAN MuRRAY, wife of Jonathan
Walter Murray, and daughter Of Rev. Jacob Greison,
aged 10 years and two months. The subject Of this
notice maintained through life the health aud ygnr Of
her. She leaves bchind TO mourn her departure hus-
band and nine children, together with a multitude Of
relations aud friends. WALTER.
