pleasure 10 add our cheerful endorsement
Of the sentiments of the following obituary

people as descendant of The family Of
Morgans who were the earliest settlers of
Northwestern Virginia, He was printer
by trade, and was foreman in the Star office
from its establishment 10 the commencement
OF his illness; and although like the great
majority OF the craft, he had to contend all
his life with the disadvantages of poverty,
he earned and always sustained the repu,a.
tlon OF an honest man. He died on Tues
day morning the 9th Instant, at the age of
az years, b months and "a days. Hsleayes
truly worthy and afflicted family, who not
only merit but receive the warmest sympa-
'hles of every member of this community.
Ills remains were accompanied to the
grave on Wednesday, by his brethren of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which
he was worthy member, and large con-
course Of citizens"

| AN ANALYSIS OF ANALOGIES.
We frequently observe upon examination
strange analogy and simili,ude between
subjects specifically antagonistic and divi-
ded. 1t is very serviceable mental exercise
TO trace out these essential, though not pat

is subsefved, it al least quckens The wit and

subjects more than commonly divided, has
Just occurred to as, and for example sake,
we shall endeavor to follow it and see how
far it leads.
Who could believe, for instance, that an
analogy subssted between our country and

radical similitude-as we shall now prove
In every branch of physical develope
it seems TO be our destiny TO conquer. In
every branch of physical disease, the Pills
and Ointment of Professor Holloway have
proved eilicacious for cure.
With population inferior to Great Brit.

railroad than England, France and Austria
combined. From his central establishment
in London, Prof. Holloway has rescued and
restored 10 health more patients than the
united physicians Of the world.
Our commerce and our fame cover eyery
sea. His Pills are in the reach and his praise
is en- the tongue of every nation on the globe.
The elastic character of our institutions
enables us TO accommodate our growth to
the accessions which ore manifeslIy in re-

Piles upon which Holoway's Remedies are
compounded, enable them to grapple with

There is mighty destiny in store for the
