DIED.

In this city, on the 18th inst, at the resi-
dence of his s%on-in-law, Mr.. J.. G. Bromell,
Mr.. Robt. Batkins, formerly of New Kent Co.,
Va, aged Sc years.
In Green County, Tennessee, on the 18th
of June, at the residence of Mrs. Coleter, Mrs.
Charlotte D. Martin, of Arson Co., n. c.,
aged 60. During herlong and painful illness,
she often prayed for death to relieve her, and
when the luminous came it found her per-
fectly resigned.
In Fair Bluff, N. c., on the lst inst, George D..
Grissette, formerly of Horny District, S. C. The
deceased was young, talented and amiable. Pos
sessed of q noble, whole souled disposition, and
high sense of honor, he was respected by all who
knew him. For truly, none could know him and
not love him. none could name him and not praise.
The writer of this slight tribute was intimately
acquainted with him for several years, and can
join his many friends in their praises of his noble
character and his kin1 generous heart. He is
gone to the land of spirits and left US here to
mourn. But oh dear friends weep not for him
for "our loss is his eternal gain" His spirit too
good and pure for earth, has sought its native
sphere. In ali the br ightness of youth and hope,
his noble spirit plumed its wings for its fig hit to
the spirit land. May God in his infinite wisdom
guide us in the ways Of purity and goodness, so
that when our time on earth is ended, we may at
last be e-united with George, at Gods right hand
in heaven.
Thou hast gone from thy dear, thy loved ones,
Thou has left us here to mourn,
Thy pure spirit has flown to its native sphere,
Ere the sorrows of earth thou hast known.
Thou art gene. yet we cannot forget thee,
Thy memory ever shall be,
As the delicate incense of howers,
Just plucked from the parent tree.

Gently been called on to mourn the loss of thre
of its true and faithful members. Our worth
brothers Elijah Bray, S. Squires, and J. W. Blu
foot have all been called away to try the real
ties Of that eternity, for which they had lon
been trying to make preparation, by a pious wal
and godly conversation.
Brother Bray was a worthy member of til
Church, and a true Son of Temperance. The D
vision passed resolutions expressive of their dee
sorrow for his loss, and coincidence with his di
tressed family and friends.
Bro. Squire was also a member of the Church
an humble christian and a faithful Son; and f
whose loss similar resolutions were adopted by Il
Division to which he was attached.
Bro. J.. W. BurfoOt was a Jealous, laborir
christian, faithful in his warnings and admon
tious to others to " Zee the wrath to come"
a Son of Temperance, We may say without di
arrangement to others, he was one of the pillars
Old Trap Division. But he rests from his labol
and his good deeds are embalmed in the hear
of those who witnessed his disinterested and
! fectionate labors in the cause of God and huma
