Died.-At Campo Seco, November llth,
Mr.. GREEN YARNELL, aged % years, for
merly of Iowa.
The deceased came to this country in 1850,
and resided at freka. He recently came to
this place. and was with his relatives during
his last sickness; but neither their kind atten-
tions nor the mild and salubrious air of this
climate, could elude that fatal disease, cruel
consumption, which has torn from the family
circle many a loved one, in our Atlantic States.
leaving the heart darkencd and the hearth
desolate. Yet in this favored land we are not
entirely exempt from this lingering, painful
disease. Though he was a short time with
us, yet his kind and affectonate disposition
won tor him many friends, who were unremit-
ting in their attentions, and ministered to his
wants, up to the last moment He was Just in
the prime OF life, and his hopes for the future
were high-yet he prayed to God for resigna-
ton to his WILL and found calm peace in be-
lieving in Jesus. His funeral sermon was
preached by the Rev. H. II. Rhees, of lone
Valley, in very impressive manner, from
the words: . Yea, man giveth up the ghost.
and where is hep His countcnance was
serene and peaceful, rs he lay in his open
collin, and large circle stood around, to gaze
for the last time upon his cold form before it
was lowered into the the silent grave, where
it sweetly rests with the voiceess dead
The friends who stood around his grave,
And saw the cold earth closing oer him,
viii tell you the friend was beloved
Though we knew not how much to deplore Lin.
But a short time GREEN YARSELL was here,
And we seemed but little to know him.
And We knew rot, till taken away
How to our hearts we had trained him.
And what if no stone marks his grave
Or a garland Of roses enwreath it:
There are hearts that viii weep for the loss
OF the brother who is sleeping beneath it,
The affection which dwclt in his h.art
And high in his bosom swelling
Will rest in the grave where he sleeps,
And halow the place of his dwelling.

CoRREcTION-Through inadycrtanct
we mentioned, last week, in speaking ot
the resignation of the Hon. w. B. Nor
man, Senator from this district, that he
was appointed Controller of State. The

spoken of repeatedly as fact, and never
contradicted. We have since been relia.

tion for such rumor As our statement
has been copied into some other papers,
We make this correction in justice to Mr..
Norman, who has faithfully represented
his district in the Senate, and, as we are
informed, resigned for the purpose Of at
tending to his private and individual af-
fairs. We hope those papers which have
copied our statement, will also publish
