Scarcely had the above been put in
type. when about dozen large, mellow
apples were laid upon our table, with the
information that they were for us.
For this present we are indebted to Mrs.
Henry Miles, Of this county; a lady with
whom we are unacquainted, but one who
possesses a heart that 'can feel for others
Woes" These presents, together with
some melons, from our friend Carter have
brought us to the conclusion, either, that
the devil and foreman are two very impor-
tant pesonages, or that human nature is
progressing in Christian charity. We
wish our native modesty did not forbid
our ascribing it to the former cause. They
have our thanks. PHb.

OBITUARY.

Died in Oxford, Mi. on the 22d. inst
of inflammation of the bowels, James
David Bost, son of Alfred and Eliza
beth Bost, of Pamela co., aged 81 yrs,
and s mos.
Seldom in life have we felt called
upon to record so painful an account
as the death of the beloved young
friend who has just left us--painful be-
cause, around him were clustered the
hopes of fond father, devoted moth
err, and of affectionate brothers and sis
ters-painful, because, Christianity
has lost, in him, zealots advocate
and shining exemplar-painful, be-
cause, the tidings of his death will fall
with heavy sadness upon the hearts of
a large circle of friends, not related to
him by family ties.
He was and had been fer five wears
a consistent and devoted member of the
Methodist Church, and was preparing
himself for the gospel ministry.
But God has ''moyed in his mystic
rious way" and, for reasons obscure
to mortality, has taken him to Him
self.
A few days before his death, the de
ceased left the bosom of his family to
attend the Commencement Exercises
of the University Of which he had for
mcrly been 4 student, where he was
seized with the disease that resulted in
his death. On his dcath-bcd he was
not without friends. His noble, gener-
ons soul could 40 no otherwise than
attract u large circle of friends,
Hc died among his friends cxhorting
them to meet him in that better land
which God gave linn Faith to know he
was about to enter. Ia the writer of
this sketch, he was faithful friend as
we'll as a kind obcdient pupil. May
God enable me, with all his fellow
students and friends, to meet him in
that better land,

THANKS from the employees of this
Office are due the Misses Black of this
town, for a present of some delicious
fruit. 1t is not often that the monotonv
of printers life is interrupted by such
kind remembrances; and, we therefore,

esty, the ''derH," laid down their sticks,
and prepared to test the quality of the
fruit.
Whilst we sat there wondering what
strange circumstance induced the fair do
nors, to make as the objects of their kind
regards, we began to fatter ourselves that
some feeling more tender than pity might
have prompted the gift, and a CLEAN of
sunshine lighted up, for moment, our
dreary pathway, and our airy castle was
nearly completed, when, casting our eyes
over the way, we saw our ''b0Ss' with his
ever smiling countenance expanding into
a broader grin, as he held to his olfacto-
rios, small, but beautiful, boquet, from
the same fair donors. Whether it was
the rich red of the flowers, or their Ian
quage, that called the deep carnation to
his temples, we were not able to determine,
for, Just at that moment our beautiful cas-
tie, with all of its handsome proportions,
came tumbling down about our ears, in
most beautiful confusion, and in our sad
desperation we wcnt-to eating plums
1t was our request that the Editor
should tender our thanks, but being deep
" absorbed in the pcrusal of awork en-
titled ''The Language Of Flowers" he
plead the want of time.
We asked the Devil if he wished to Join
with US in our acknowledgements, but his
quiYering lip and fearful eye alone, spoke
his gratitude, and we therefore, in his be-
half. and our own, return to our fair
friends. our heartfelt thanks for their
kind remembrance, and offer the wish,

that their future journey down the stream
Of time, may be, unlike our own, one of
uninterrupted felicity.

Mr.. Editor Perhaps, ere this

telegraph, an account of the fire, which
occurred about 5 p. NJ. on the 23d inst.

all the workmen were out at the time
the fire occurred. 1t was discovered

west of the scene; the cry OF lire was
raised, and soon near one half OF the
citizens were on the spot. Great eX-
element prevailed as tie flames grew
tall and fearful-and not single fre-
company could be raised. 1T was IN
deed alarming but finally, under the
supervision of the Mayor, who display
ed great presence of mind, the citizens
feIi-to, and in a short time the destroy
ing element was arrested. No clue
can be had as yet to the incendlary'
and it is now proposed and seems to be
the wish that vigilance committee be
appointed to rid the city of all sucn
dangerous characters, and low and
fendish spirits, who can be guilty OF
perpetrating such horrid outrages.
The damages are not yet estimated.
The loss is not so great as was at nrst
supposed. We are glad, however, II Is
no worse. Messrs. Arnold and Us
teen tender their thanks to the citizens
for their assistance.

Our system of doing business is such
that all may confidently rely on get
ting the best price and early return for
their produce, making it universal
rule to deposit the Planters money III
Bank, for their own especial use, and
not ours it is therefore, always ready
for them when ordered or called for.
The practice of specializing on the
Planters funds has, in a great many
instances, resulted disastrously to botlf
parties. We, therefore, discard that
principle as illegitimate and dangerous.
We promise strict attention to our pa
irons interest
Having secured the services ola su-
perior Cotton Salesman, and being
provided with ample room and facili-
ties for doing Cotton Business, our
customers may rely OH the best prices

cotton now equaling the production, we
think tic planters may safely antlcl-
pate an ample remuneration for their
labor for years to come.
All cotton consigned to us will be sto-
red in a substantial brick warehouse
and insured, unicss otherwise instruct
ed.

making suitable arrangements for board
ing scholars who may wish to attend our

and we wish earnestly to impress it upon
the minds of our people; something must
be done, and that soon. Who will open
boarding houses for the accommodation of
the students e? The ultimate success of the
educational enterprise, now in progress in
our town, depends entirely, in our judge
mont unon the answer given to the question.
