by falling out of a wagon-the wagon run
ming over and bruised him very much. He
lived some time-two Doctors attended him
some two or three weeks-but his wounds
mortified and some of the veins in his thigh
broke or decayed, so that he bled to death.
Whiskey was his ruin. z. NJ. Y.
Near Newby's Bridge, Perquimans Co., N.
c., on the 18th ult., Eliza Jane White, wife
Of Oswin White, in her 23d year. In the
death of our beloved friend, the community
has lost one bound to it by ties of stronges
friendship-her husband a true and devoted
companion, and her relatives one endeared t.
u them by the many pleasing recollections o
+ her affable disposition and childlike simplici
) ty. By this visitation from Him who order
l eth all things Alright, the solemn warniny
: seems to be sent forth prepare to meet tn,
God'-and whilst one of the tender ties tina
) bind mortals to this earth has been severed
/ we have the assurance that there has been
link added to that bright chain that binds u
stronger to heaven. Being thus assured, ma
+ it be our fervent aspiration that we may b
n made willing to adopt the language: 9TH
Lord hath given, and the Lord hath take
+ away blessed be the name of the Lord"
