OBITUARY.
For the Advertiser.

Mr. EDrToR 1T becomes our painful duty, as a
friend, to record the death of OWEN CLAhY, second
son of Col. M. W. and Dempsey Clary. He de-
parted this life the 7th instant at his fathers re-
sidence, Edgefield District in the 18th year of his
age. While in a state of health, and enjoying the
bright prospect of long and useful life, he fell q
victim to that awful disease (DysenteryD which has
so long baffled the skill Of the Medical Faculty. and
IN o few days was taken from time to eternity. We
seldom notice the death of young nlan Of such an
exemplary character. He was dutiful and obedi-
ent son, kind and afectonate brother, and was
never known to utter profane word in his life. The
awful solenity that pervaded the assembly of friends
and relatives who accompanied his remains to their
resting place, and the many tears that were shed
over his tomb, clearly evnced their love, and show
ed too plainly their loss was irreparable Could the
sghs and groans, and prayers and tears Of atcc-
tionate father and loving mother have raised him.
or the kind and unceasing attention Of friends and
relatives have heightened out bis days the hand Of
death would have been stayed. But alas the Di-
vine Maker had ordered it otherwise. The subject
Of this tribute Of respect was n student OF Mount
Enon Academy, where, by exercising that kind and
amiable disposition which characterized his life, he
won the universal esteem of both teachers and stu
dents. His rare talent, undespairng application,
and the diffusion Of knowledge, which must natural
y flow from SO pure fountain, makes hls loss ire
parable In his death the school has lost Of its
brightest ornaments, Edge6cld one Of her most
promising sons. While we deeply sylnpa'hise with
the bereaved family, we trust their loss j, his eter-
nal gain Let US submit to the will Of Him who has
power to give life, and power to take ii away, know
ing that.
Death is the common lot Of all,
Both young and old most die;
And, like the leaves Of autum, fall,

A MODEL DUN.-An Editor "out west" thus
talks to his non-paying subscribers and patrons.
If his appeal does not bring the "peWtsr," we
think he need never try again:
Friends, Patrons, Subscribers and Adrerti-
sers
Hear us for our debts, and get ready that you
may pay; trust US, we are in need, and, have
regard for your need, for you have been long
trusted acknowledge your Indebtedness and
dive into your pockets, that you may promptly
fork over. If there be among you, one single
patron that don't own us something, then to
him we say-step aside; consider yourself
gentleman. If the rest wish to know why we
dun them, this is our answer! Not that We
care about cash ourselves, but our creditors do.
Would you rather that We 60 TO Jail, and you
60 free than you to pay your debts, and We all
Keep moving! As We agreed, we have worked
for you; as we contracted, we have furnished
our paper to you; as We promised, we have
waited upon you, but as you don't pay: We dun
you! Here are agreements for job work; con-
tracts for subscription; promises for long cred
its; and dues for deferred payment. Who is
there so mean he don't take a paper! 1t any,
he needn't speak-we don't mean him. Who
is there so green that he don't advertise! II
any, let him slide-he amt the chap either
Who is there so bad that he don't pay the prin-
ter! If any, let him shout-for he's the man
we're after. His name is Legion, and he's been
owing US for one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven and eight years-long enough to make US
poor, and himself rich at our expense.
If the above appeal to his conscience doesn't
wake him to sense of justice, we shall have 10
try the law and see what virtue there is in writs
and constables."

"THE FAMINE" AT THE WEsT.-The receipts
of breads,utis at the upper lake ports are tre-
mendous, and in the face Of the immense re-
ceipts of corn, and the export demand but nom-
ina j, with limited dislillng business, the pres
ent prices of this description Of grain cannot
be maintained. lO3,436 bushels were received
at ports on the Upper Lakes in one day, AT
Buffalo and Oswego the receipts reported on
Monday reached 1924 bbls. flour, 82,897 BUSH
els of wheat, l8o,o27 bushels corn, and 1925

The NEBRASKA KANSAS BILL.-The New
York Journal of Commerce estimates that 100
members are already elected to Congress (or 10
be elected from the South) opposed to the re.
peal of tho Nebraska bill, and but Is more are
needed to make a majority against touching it.
We quote:
at is not impossible, nor very improbable,
that this number will be found, (among the l3+
members not included in the above calcuation,)
will oppose repeal, although some Of them voted
against the bill on its passage. In other words,
il is by no means certain that Ll TO repeal the
Nebraska law can pass the house. But if it
should, it will be defeated by u large majority
in the Senate. And before u new Congress is
elected, Nebraska will probably be knocking for
admission into the Union as State"

A NOBLE ExAMPLE.-The Presbyterian Church

stand that members agreed that an assessment
should be made upon them in proportion to
their property, referring to the Textbook i me-

church debt. We do not remember having
ever before known this principle of contributing
according to means and ability adopted and car
ried out by any body Of Christians or others.

acting has set an example worthy to be followed
