FAMILY GATHERING.

On the I'd of August Rev James Hobart,
of Berlin, completed his nincty-frst year.
This aged servant of God is still enjoying
good health and a degree of bodily and men
ial strength and yigor which is truly remark
able. On the afternoon of his last birth day,
which was the Sabbath. he preached at b.,
from the text in Feel. ~ l3. After very
brief allusion to his age, expressing his graft
itudo and wonder that God had spared him
so long, he proceeded with much feeling and
plainucss to urge upon his hearers obedience
to the command of the text.
On Tuesday following, there were asscmbl-
cd at the old family residence all the children
of Mr. Hobart now living, seven in number,
six with their companions, and all the grand
children, twelve in number. with a few other
friends A kind Providence favored the
gathering, and all the members Of tho family
were present Though but recently scatter
ed in four different States, all but one daugh-
ter and her companion now reside in Vermont.
After bouutful rcpast, most kindly prcpar-
ed. all were assembled to listen once more TO
the word of counsel and prayer from the lips
of a reycrcd parent and friend. 10 was a
pleasant and rare privilege to sec the aged
patriarch, with his worthy companion, now
seyenty-iour years Of age, surrounded by
their children and their chidron's children,
varying in age from 6j TO years, and 20 hear
him speak of Gods dealings with him and
his, and recommend that Gospel which he had
preached for more than sixty years, as the
only true support in the changes and trials of
this life. and as alone afording good hope
for the future
Five of the children Of this family have
died, three sons and two daughters, all in
carly youth or middle age ono only was
married ono son-iu-law has also died. Two
of the sons were pursuing their studies with
reference to the ministry-ono had graduated
at college and was about 20 enter the semina-
ry, and the other was about entering college
when the messenger of death came Thus
were the fond hopes of the father that he
might have sons TO preach the Gospel, blast
cd All but one of the children have made a
public profession Of religion, and that one
would probably have done So had he lived a
few weeks longer Three Of the daughters
have married clergymen, one physician, and
ono a lawyer; and an the children. it is be-
Hevod, are occupying useful and honorable
positions in the church and In society. Nine
grandchildren died, most of them in infancy.

Flora mcFIImsey woodman.

If there could be found in American society,
a person closely resembling Miss Flora Nc
Flimsey and if her character and career could
be watched closely and critically, she would
doubtless develope into very much such a
Derson as Mrs. Caroline Woodman. Dress ard
mems admiration were the two greatest OBJ
iects of her life. In the pursuit of them she
sacrificed every thing, and the wreck of her
honor and her health should be a lesson to
any weak-minded woman who may have be-
gun life with ideas similar to hers. There
could be no more solemn lesson administered
10 Young girls than that contained 10 the
deplorable narrative she gives in the affidavit
lately made public. Such abjeet degradation,
such humiliating slavery to the destroyer of
her honor and happiness, were probably never
confessed by any other woman in the world.
The little traits of this lsdy's character are
gradually coming 20 the light since she has be-
come the hero of shameful drama. MANY
persons recognize in her lady who has been
known at the fashionable watering places for
the immensely Of her wardrobe. One describes
her as " the lady with seventy-tive dresses"
Another speaks of her as having thirty
trunks and a new dinner dress for every day
Of the season" Passengers who came over in
the steamer Arago in September, 1855, discov-
er that the heroine Of Sanford Hall and the
EsW York Hotel was fellow passenger, aud
they remember the tall, slender figure, the
fretful, DISCONTINUED oountenance, the rather
familiar manner, the Idle conversation and
the snubbng remarks to her husband, that at
tracted more notice than admiration Some
~ them remember how she talked of her
score of huge Paris travelling chests her four
teen Paris bonnets, and the multiplicity of
articles proper for lady With Nothing TO
Wear" which had 10 pass the ordeal OF the
New York Custom House officers.
We rejoice TO be able 10 say, 10 spite OF the
remarks of q very vulgar anonynous English
lady correspondent, who has been 50 fortunate
as never to get into the society of respectable
American ladies, that Me. Woodman Is the
only American woman we know of who fnl-
" represents the character, or the want OF
character, of Miss Flora McElimsey- Let her
young country women who love hnery take
warning by her fate.-FAikd. Baiietia.

rIurderous AGrav in Texas.

letter from Huntsville, Texas, TO the Galveston
Civiiian gives the following account of murder
GUS aHray in huntsville on the afternoon of the
2Sth ult:
The parties Immediately concerned were two
young men, brothers, by the name of Cox, and
their step-father, Mr. VIM. Leach. II appears that
a family quarrel had been brewing for some years;
and that Mr.. Leach preparatory to a contemp plated
divorce from his wife, the mother of the Young
CoXes, had left home and ttken up his abode near
Huntsville. On the day above mentioned how
ever, as Mr. Leach was sitting on a goods box, at
the corner of Mr.. Smiths store. the two brothers
approached him; when within striking distance the
elder Of the twain, Taylor Cox, assaulted Leach
with his cane. Leach and the younger Cox, Isaac,
then drew their ere volVers" and the firing com
menced almost simultaneously, young Cox, hoWev-
er, according 70 the testimony of the by-standers
hrlng little IN advance of Leach. Some say that
'six," others that "seVen" shots were exchang ed
five OF which were from Leach's pistol only the
two last of which took fleet the first in the fore
head Of Isaac at the distance of thirty four Yards
killing him instantly, the other in the lower part OF
the back of Taylor Cox, most seriously endanger.
ing his life
Leach received only flesh wound in the muscle
OF mis- left arm, from the revolver of Isaac Cox, a.
it appears that his brother Taylor had no weapon,
cave the cane with which he first struck Leach.
This sad occurrence has cast a gloom over the en-
tire community. The District Court is now in SEES.
sion, and it is thought that Leach will demand a
trial.
