DEATH OF HON. JOHN LONG.
1t is our painful duty to announce the
death of the Hon. John Long, who breathed
his last, at his residence in Randolph county,
N. c., on Tuesday morning last at 8 o'clock.
Mr. Long had been in feeble health for
several years. On the day previous to his
death, as we learn, he walked out on his
farm, and in attempting to climb fence,
fell, the top rail falling on him.-He was
enabled. through great exertion, to walk
back to his house, where he fingered until
3 o'clock next morning and expired.
Mr. Long occupied until few years past,
prominent position in the political affairs
of North Carolina. He had frequently
occupied seat in the State Legislature, and
served as a member Of Congress from the
Randolph district for several years; man
of strong mind and unimpeach able moral
character, he enjoyed, in the fullest sense,
the love and respect of all who knew him.
Editor of this paper, who has been suddenly
and unexpectedly called away, to attend the
solemn and mournful burial services.
We presume some enc better qualified
than the writer of these lines will prepare
suitable tribute to his memory.-Greensboro
Patriot.
SHERIFFs--FREES UFFRAGE.--We would
most respectfully remind Sheriffs that by
the act of the last session of the General
Assembly, chapter 13, it is made their duty
to make out duplicate returns of the vote,
in their respective counties, on the p:opos-
ed amendment to the Constitution, and
Scear TO the same before the Clerks Of the
County Courts one copy of which they are
required to deposit in the County Court
Clerks Office, the other copy to be trans
mitte6 to the Governor of the State, at Raj
eigh, within twenty days after the election.
A failure to make a return as above, sub
jects a sheriff to a penalty of one thousand
dollars, to be sued for by the Solicitor of
the Circuit, immediately.-Rat. Standard.
DIR. CHARLES F. DEEMs.-This gentle
man has recently visited Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee, where he has delivered
two or three literary addresses, and preach
ed several sermons.
His address on 'Self- Culture" at Ok
ford, Georgia, is spoken of in the Charles
ton Christian Advocate as having been
mastery effort. and listened to by an i'm
mense assembly.
DR.. Deems also delivered the literary
address before the Florence University,
Alabama, of which the Huntsville South
ern Advocate holds the following language:
1.-The Grafton before the Literary Socie-
ties was delivered by the Rev. Charles F.
Deems, D. D., of n. c., and mastery
effort it was. One of the most learned gen
tlemen of this country, and himself an Ora
tor, who was present, declared the address
the most magnificent production to which
he ever listened.-It was profound in argu-
ment and brilliant in expression, and de-
livered with an JUNCTION and grace that rem
dered the speech the admiration of every
mind
The Nashville Christian Advocate thus
notices his visit to that city:
1--WE have been favored with visit from
DR.. Deems. He preached several times in
the civ We could hut think as we heard
