u One of the noblest traits of the human
character is gratitude for benefits received, and
the heart which would forget the benefactor
who had made it happy, sinks below the level
Of the dumb brute. But how mnch pleasure
too should we derive from doing good, not for
the sake Of being thanked, and placing persons
under obligations 10 US, but for the sake alone
of making them happy. The greatest benefit
one can bestow upon another is restoring him
to health. DR.. @. NJ. jackson, by the aid of
Hooiand's German Bitters, sold at 100 Arch
street, Philadelphia, has been the instrument
OF saving thousands from an untimely grave.

OBITUARY.-MAKY E. MCDANIEL, wife Of
James Harvey Mcdaniel, was born March
( 18th, 1927, near Gallipolis, Gallia County, o.,
and died in Patriot, May 18th, 1855, age %
years. l month and 3 days She was early
taught morality and the fear of God. About
eight years before her death she united with
the NJ. E. Church as a seeker of Religion. Soon
after she professed to obtain peace with God
yet her evidence was not at first clear and sat
isfactory. But about four years previous to
her death, she obtained an undoubted evidence
Of her acceptance through faith in Christ.
From that time until her death she held fast
her integrity: erPiety and Christian virtues
shown brightest in the private circle. She
was kind and obliging to her neighbors-Iov-
ing and affectiOnate in high degree in the
family circle. Her end was not only peaceful,
but triumphant. She bore her Affections,
which were short but severe, with great pa
tience-talked clear and calmly about death,
and gave directions for the future very delib-
erately. II cost struggle 10 leave her little
son; but after giving the farewell kiss, aided
by friend, she raised him as if handing him
away. exclaiming, "here Lord take him and
keep him thou forever" Thelast chord which
bound her TO earth seemed then severed, and
she seemed anxious to be gone. She has left
an affectionate companion-a little son about 2
years old, and numerous friends and relatives
to mourn her loss.
But their loss is her eternal gain. Glory be
to God for the Christians hope. May God sane
tify this affiction to the good of all her surviv
ing friends. NJ. L. KING.

The PLAGUE? Is Ir?-A very extra
ordinary disease has made its appear.
ance, in a few families IN this city
some of the eminent in wealth and po-
sition-which has confounded our ply
sicians, because of its novelty. At first
they classed it under the head of Fry
sipelas, but as it would not bear that
classification, some of them have given
it the name of the "Plague." 1t ap-
pears at first in some discolored spot,
say on the face, and extending without
suppuration, it soon destroys life, as if
by general modification. If suppera-
ton takes place, it passes off, but if not,
death is sure to follow. There is no
contagion about it, and it is not epi-
demic in any form. One or two physi-
clans have resorted to the knife, and
cut out the Plague spot on its first ap-
pearance, and SO have saved life. Fever
and delirium attend the process of the
disease, if "the spot" is left to spread.
Such is our information; but as we have
seen no case with our own eyes-and if
we had, should not be able to describe
it scienti6cally-what we say must be
taken with this understanding.
1t is not the Plague-for it is not con-
tagious, or epidemic-but what is it,
The Plague may be imported, nay, has
been imported into the South Of France,
from Turkey; but it may be some new
disease, which, like the cholera, is to
destroy the human race. We should
be obliged TO some medical man for
some scientific, or more specific account
of the disease.-K y Express.

a specimen of his Alabama wheat; also
of his May wheat, both of which are ve-
ry much alike, and differ but little in
appearance from the Reed Straw,
brought by Mr.. WIN. L. MORTON. 1t is
the opinion of practical farmers, that
the Reed Straw and Alabama are moth
ing more than what is termed the May
here, that in other localities it is known
by different names.

95 per cent. more wheat than ever be-
fore. Corn is luxuriant, and in the
middle and Southern portions almost in
tassel. The fruit crop is tremendous,
being the greatest abundance of apples,
peaches, cherries, &C., wherever there
was tree planted. This is good re-
port and it confirms what we have from
other sources, and from almost every
portion of the country.
