OBITUARY.

DIED, at her residence near Satartia, Yazoo
county, Miss, on Monday evening, the 25th Oct.
1858, Mrs. CoRDELIA MCLEOD, wife of Mr.. Alex.
Mcleod. ornl
The writer of this humble tribute became &C.
quainted with Mrs. Mcleod about fifteen years
ago, soon after her marriage with her husband,
and from the many and frequent interchanges Of
the usual courtesies of friendly relationship which
has existed between them and himself during that
time, he can safely point to her and hold her up
as a lady possessing rare virtues. Whether viewed
as wife, mother. daughter, neighbor, friend or
Christian, in these and in every relation of life,
she was model She bore her short and painful
Illness hat baled the skill of her physicians and
defed the power Of every appliance or remedy
tried in her case, with al that Christian meekness
and humility which had characterized her life,
and when told by her husband that she was dying,
she took most affectionate leave Of her aged
mother, her fond husband and her two surviving
children. commanding them to the protection Of
God, declaring herself fully assured Of blissful
Immortality beyond the grave.
Her remains we're, on Wednesday, the 9th ult,,
buried in the family cemetery, attended by alarge
crowd Of friends, whose tears attested the anguish
felt by reason Of her death ANXIOUS.

.ToR THE DEMocRAr .

FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
nv. Editor: For sixty DAYS reports have been
circulated in the country that we had yellow
Fever in our city Notwithstanding card was
published, and signed by every physician here,
denying its truth, which card was extensively
sent to the country, assuring the public that in
the event that it should originate here that their
'nonors were pledged to make it public. Never
'thsless persons have been found in our midst
whose business it is and has been to send reports
asroad to the effect that considerable sickness of
'ne Kind did prevail and had originated among
r. % the great detriment of every species Of
onsinesSin our city. 1t does seem to me that
something should be done to place our little town
ana her best interests right before the public.
Van't our City Fathers do something to bring the
ruth or falsehOOd Of these reports before the
FADnc A CITIzES.

STATE FAIR.-Some of our citizens are making
ready to attend the State Fair at Jackson next
veek. The Tournament will be on Friday; and
we are glad to be able to add that Yazoo will be
piu the ring" in the person of one of her choice
ard most gallant spirits. We are confident that
the spear Of our knight will go through the ring
At least as often as any ones else, and we shall
be sadly disappointed if he does not bear the
trophy away On his minor digit So confident il
he Of this that he has, we learn. already designa
ted his Queen of Beauty. Fortune favors the
bold. and only the brave deserve the smiles Of
beauty. Success to you, Sir Tom.

A PAIR OF THEM.-Mr. J. H. Redding has
laid on our table couple Of Winter Pears-ripe,
juicey, mellow, and of most delicious flavor.
They grew at the Nursery of Mr.. Stephen Hagan,
near this city, where we are told they are album
dant. The production Of such fruit as this, it
seems to US, would repay the most arduous atten-
ton to its culture and Mr.. Hagan is certainly
entitled to much credit for the perfection to which
he has brought it. We hope, while our friend
Reddng is rejoicing in the plenitule Of such
Injuries, he viii think of us again.

Caution TO the Public.

After several years experiment in the manufac-
ture Of Gin, fortunately succeeded, in the year
lS48, in making discovery in its manufacture,
by which it was deprived of its acrid and inaam-
matory properties, and rendered perfectly pure.
My mandatory is at Scheidam, Holland
After several months reflection what title to give
it, l introduced it to the American public under
the title of "Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps" Scheidam is the name of the place
in Holland where the Gin is manufactured: arc
matte" derives its name from the Italian Juniper
berry with which it is favored and the word
" Schnapps" is the German for drink-cogue,
dram-Wolfes Schiedam aromatic drink No
sooner had my Schnapps been introduced to the
American public and received with appreciation
than the liquor-mixers of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia started in pursuit with their mixed
and poisonous stuff, under various names. In
several instances my labels have been so per-
fectly initiated, with only the addition of few
letters, to plead technical avoidance of the law,
and so carefully prepared, as to impose on care
less purchasers l understand large quantity

Orleans, on account of the cheapness of the stuff

hope every respectable citizen who values the
health Of the community in which he lives will
aid me in ferreting out, and exposing the uuscru-
puous MERCHANT who, for the sake of few cents
will put in jeopardy the lives of the community
in which he lives. Such men should be nailed
to the pillory of public execration.
