Died-In Yell cnnnty Arkansas Nnuam

Dled-ln Yell county, Arkansas, Novem- Der 18th, 1857. Mrs. MARTHA c. MAY, daugh. ter of J. F. and Mary S. Perry
 She was born in Sumner county, Tennessee. Sept. 9th, 1885, professed religion and joined the Methodist Church about 1847-emigrated with her parents to Arkansas, 1849, when she again reunited with the church. Was married to MT. Wm. N. May, February 10th, 1853.
 The deceased lived only week after she was taken sick. Her sufferngs were of the most excruciating character; yet she bore them with fortitude During her illness, she was ever anxious to converse on the subject of religion At first her prospects were gloomy-lamenting that she had lived so cold-had often neglected her Christian duties-especaly that of partak. ing of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper.- At times she was even tempted to believe that she had never enjoyed religion-that she had been deceived. But on the last day of her stay with us on earth-she gained the victory doubts gave way--clouds dspersed--assurance took its full possession of the soul, and long and loud did she clap her glad hands and shout "glory, glory" Truly it was scene of Chris tian triumph, such as have Seldom witnessed. But she is gone leaving an infant few days old -an affectionate husband--beloved and dotinc parents and many relatives and friends to mourn her departure--but they sorrow not as thos. who have no hope, for if we believe tha Jesus died and rose again, them who sleep il Jesus will God bring with him."

they may absorb the entire property of the tax payer. The same may be said of every power where there is an exercise of judgment"
 And in another part of the opinion, the Court says Having the power to make the contract and rights becoming vested under it, it can no more be dlsregarded nor set aside by subse. quent Legislature than a grant for land This act, so far from parting with any portion of the sovereignty, is an exercise of it. Can any one deny this power to the Legislature? Has it not right to select the objects of taxation, and de- termine the amount? To deny either of these Is to take away State sovereignty. It must he admitted that the State has the sovereion power to do this, and it would have the soye- reign power to impair or annul contract so made, had not the constitution of the United States inhibited tine exercise of such a power. The vague and undefned and undefnable notion that every exemption from taxation. or specific tax, which wthdraws certain objects from the general tax law, affects the sovereipptv of the State, is indefeDsible."
 Many other authorities might be cited upon this point, but we deem it unnecessary to do SO. as those cited are quite sufficient to show that the question IS not now an open one
 Having thus considered all the points raised Tn the case before us, we are of opinion and do decide:-
 lst. That the swamp and overhowed lands sold by the State, under the provisions of the act of 9th January, 1851, while the 14th sec ton thereof was in force, are by contract be. tween the State and the purchaser, exempt from taxation:
 "a. That the period of exemption begins at the date of the purchase from the State, and continues for ten years if the lands are not sooner reclaimed and if they are, ceases upon their reclamation; and in no event, continues longer than ten years, no matter whether re- claimed or not:
 ord: Whenever any of the levees and drains provided for by the act, were completed. the lands intended to be protected or drained there. by, were, within the meaning of the law re- chtinaed And:
 4th. That the lands cannot be taxed until after the expiration of the period of exemption, and so much of the act of 11th January. 1855 as provides that they shall be- is repugnant to the constitution of the United States, and void.
 Seeing no error in the record, the judgment of the court below must be affirmed with costs. etc.
