ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Mr.. EDITOR: During my recent absence
from home, our town was visited with des-
tructive fire; my family residence and other
property were saved only by the severe Ia
bour and self sacrifcing spirit of many gen
tlemen (some of whom I may not meet with
soon.) Feeling under lasting obligations TO
them for the protection and security rem
dered to my family and property in my alb
sence. ! cannot but avail myself of this
channel to express to them the deep sense
of gratitude that I feel for their kindness
and magnanimity.
1t is due to number of these gentlemen,
to state that although not citizens of Char
lotte, yet they invariably fought in the front
ranks, and greatly contributed to save my
property and the town from general con-
f1agration VIM. JOHNSTON.

DIED.

In Mecklenburg county, on the 14th ult., Miss
SUSAN HUNTER, of typhoid fever, aged As years
8 months and IL days. The subject of this no.
tice, was born in Lancaster District, S. c., and
was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Hunter.
She joined the Methodist church in her fourteenth
year. Her christian life was modest and unas-
Stunning. For the last two years of her life she
was a member and Sunday school teacher at
Mount Hebron church At meeting of the
Sons of Temperance, of Steele Greek Division,
the following preamble and resolutions were pre-
scented and adopted:
Whereas, The death of SUSAN HUNTER has
caused breach in our ranks, we avail ourselves
of the present occasion to give public expression
to the sorrow we feel at the loss of one of our
members.
ResOtUed, That this affection, which removes
from us one of our number calls aloud for our
deepest humiliation before God
ResOtred, That we cheerfully bear testimony
to the christian virtues that adorned her character
ResotUcd, That we tender our sincere sympa-
thy to the bereaved family left to mourn their
loss.
Res0tced, That copy ofthe above preamble and
resolutions be sent to the Spirit of the Age, South
ern Christian Advocate, and the Charlotte papers
for publication. COMMITTEE.
