OBITUARY.

in the 29th year of her age, ANN ROSELLA,
consort of LAWRENCE PosEY, of this county.
nected, yet the truly admirable traits of the de-
ceased must be sufficient challenge for this last
offering of the writer, tho conscious of its made
quacy. In the flower of womanhood, the prime
of lie and up to her last illness, in the vigor of
health, she has been called by her Creator from
this world of woe to live eternally in brighter
spheres. Death, at all times appalling and distress
ing, is rendered still more so by the attending
circumstances of this case, leaving two babes rest
ing upon the bosom of mother at the time of her
demise, and three infants incapable of conceiving
the heaviest loss they could sustan and last, tho
not least, husband whose devotion knew no
limit, and father frosted by the memorable hand
Of time, to weep for an only daughter until death
removes the cause of grief. But what comfort
to that affectionate husband and fond father now.
and Will be, to those five infant children to know
that her life was pure. christian, exemplary-aye,
guide by which they might finally and forever
Join her.
"The great in conduct and the pure in thought;
These still exist, to God himself consign'd
Still speak and act the models Of mankind;
Still lead life of clear and cloudless day
Nor wrecked by storms, nor nouldered by decay

CHARLES COUNTY AGRICULTURAL So
cIErY.-We invite sten,ion to the follow
ing notice:
We ask to remind the members of the Agricul-
tural Society that the Quarterly Meeting is to
take place on TUESDAY the 18th instant, to which
day the Society stands adjourned. 1t is desirable
and important that there should be full atten-
dance, questions of interest are then to be con-
sidered. The Committee to whom were referred
the resolutions relating to the manner Of selling
wheat and corn Will report to the Society, and a
just regard to the Farmers rights and interests
requires that something should be done to guard
against the impositions, if not frauds, which are
practised upon that large and necessary class Of
citizens. Every member is urged to attend. The
subject of steamboat communication between the
county and the neighboring cities will also be for
consideration.
The Society will meet at o'clock, P. M.
BY the Executive Committee,
J. G. CHAPMAN, President.
