Rev. II. IL. Holcoin ID.

Recent adyices from the Mission House
near Cape Pdlmss, West Africa, tring the
said intelligence of the untimely death OF
Rav. Hugh Hamilton Holcomh, who was
well known in this city and neishoorhoo1'
where a large circle Of friends lament his
loss. His death was thus announced from
the Mission House:
Mr.. H,lcomb was born in CRANKY. Con
n~rc,icu,; was educated by his father, Ssmuei
C. Ii lsamo. A. NJ. aud entered TrInliy
College, Hartford, Connecticut, IN 1911
Leaving this INSTITUTION in his senior year, be
entered the senior class Of Union College
Schenectady, and graduated with honor ~
August, 1915, st the age OF ~ years. FOR
several ears alter leaving college, Mr.. HbI-
comb resided ia Washington, engaged IN The
study # the law, and IN 1852 ne Was aimi'-
ted to the bar ia the District Of Columbia.
Thus far "a career Of literary ADD PROBES
sio nal success seemed to open before him
But his residence in Washington brought
him near a class of men at Alexandria whose
hearts q 4 had touched With love Tor the
souls Of their leilOw-Dsn perIshinS In heatheh
iynOrance and sin. lie made up his mlnd
thai there were hOnOrs Ut a more enduring
kind which every rational mind ought u
ur,ze. aud that there were pursuits connected
with the weIl-reing Of the ssul ~ tals world
and beyood the grave wuIcn men ought to
est ID at their due.
Resolving to devote himself to the ministry
and tue cause of missions, be entered the
Theological Seminary, Alexandria, Ntrs'nit,
and, passing through the three years course
OF study, wa ori,ined deacon by Bishop
Meade, June %, 1855. o. the l4th Of March,
1856, be sailed for Africa, and landed atCape
PaImas June Is. just Que year before hIs
death. Iil4 short missiyualy career Was
passed at CavaIla, where his modest, unas-
suming manner and great kluduess endeared
him to all the members U. the mission i"mIiy.
lie took an active part in preaching amongst
the natives and in MI duties assigned hln.
Thus has there lalien IN the vineyard ct
his master another faithful labUrer, Who
h~esitated at no seif-deaial, who was di--
couraged at no sacrifices he was called to
make. Having iorsaSeh a. for Christ, he
labored in taitu aud hope Tor a short time
for the good Of Africa children, and, having
calmly fallen asleep in Jesus, he now rests
from his labOrs.

Letter from Richmond.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 2l,t, 1853 The Mt.
Vernon Guards, uLder command Of Capt.
Samuel II Devaughn, and the Alexandria
Rif.men, Capt. A. Herbert, arrived in Rich
mond this morning, between six and seven
o'clock. The Alexandria Riflemen are quar-
tered at the Central Hotel. and the Mt.
Vernon Guards ut Reds Hotel. Both of
the companies have got excellent quarters.
The Guards attended divine service this
morning, at the Methodist Episcopal Church,
rs utb.) and listened to al eloquent sermon
preached by the Rev. Mr.. Carter. The pas
tor of the church, the Rev. Mr., Duncan, who
has been stationed in Alexandria for two
wears past, after the sermon was concluded,
made some verv appropriate and weli-,imei
remarks to the Guards. lie said It was a
source of great qualification to meet bis old
friends from Alexandria, and he considered
it a compliment paid him, by the Guards
attending his church in preference to any
ott er.
The Rihemeu attended church at st.
james. where a sermon was preached by the
Rev. MIR. Pettriken. The Monticello Guards
OF Charlottesville, and tue Young Guards OF
Richmond, also attended church there.
The weather over head lie delightful, but
the streets are very muddy, and we will
have a very disagreeable time Tomorrow, so
far as walking is concerned.
The Hotels are all crowded--not a bed can
be had for love or money. There are more
strangers in this city at the present time, than
there has been eve, known before on any
occasion.
Tue companies from Alexandria rehact
great credit on the old town. and you Will
bear a good account of them.
