DIED, nn the 1st inst, Mr. OSBURN HOWLE,
son of EDWARD and ELIZABETH HowLE, aged 19
years and about three months
lie was strict member Of the Baptist Church
A little more than year ago he prolessed reli-
gion at protracted meeting, at Red Oak Church,
and joined the holy band, who, are making their
daily progress TO that place which is prepared for
all who do Gods will.
His death is lamentable indeed He was in the
bloom of youth and natural vigorous constitution,
of amiable disposition possessing flow of spirits
which bouyed him above and made him regardless
Of most little vexations incident to every one, and
which rendered him pleasing and agreeable COM
panion, and endeared him to all who knew him.
Possessing habits Of the strctest sobriety and in
defatgable in all the pursuits Of ie az son, he was
always willing to obey the commands Of his beresv.
ed parents, and as brother, kind and afeotonate.
He has gone In the morning Of life 10 pren,a-
ture grave. He has oloaed bic earthly career as It
were In its very commencement. He has been
taken by an All.wise providence from the midst Of
bis afectonate relatives and companions, to the un.
tried scenes Of another world. He has been thus
cut off as if to afford to his young associates srik
ing example Of the uncertainty Of the fairest pros
poets and the sensibilty Of the most substantial
earthly enjoyments.
The writer Of this notice was with him during
the greater portion Of his illness. He was never
heard to murmur Or complain, but endured his Of
tctions with christian frmness
His burial was attended by as large concourse
of people as has ever been known in this vicinity
conclusive evidence of the esteem in which he
was held by his associates.
We will conclude this token Of respect by re-
marking that we are unable to do justice to the
memory of our departed friend that the recollec-
ton of him will ever be fresh in our memory; that
his death has produced vacuum Tint can never be
fully supplied.
eyes! he sleeps in the land OF his birth,
And calmly he rests beneath the cold earth;
Yet his memory's enshrned in each friendly heart,
Tis cherished SO fondly that it will never part"

to her death under the effects Of that disease, mos
fatal to the human race viz: Consumption, yet she

EUGENlA only child Of Mr.. WILLIAM and E. A
JORDAN, aged two months and two days.
In this bereavement there is deep heartfelt sor
row produced within the hearts of its fond and al
iectionate parents and relations, which can only fn
consolation in the sweet influence which arises fron
j knowledge that ALICE EUGEHIA is now resting il
the arms OF her heavenly father, for he has said
"SuIler little children to come unto me and forbic
them not, for Of such is the Kingdom Of Heaven.
" Fare thee well, our dear little Alice;
Dear little Alice fare thee well;
lie who lent thee hath recalled thee
Back with him and his 10 dwell.
Two moons their silver lustre
Only o'er thy brow had shed,
When thy spirit joined the seraphs
And thy dust, the dead.
"We are wckcd-wc are weary
For Us pray, and for US plead
God, who ever hears the snless,
May through you the sinful heed;
Pray that through Christ's mediation,
All our faults may be forgiven;
Plead that you may be sent to greet US
at the gales Of Heaven"
