Temperance to the everlasting Temple of

confidence in the piety and moral worth
Of our lamented brother, gives us every
assurances that he is now rejoicing with
the spirits of just men made perfect ;
therefore be it
ReSoiced, That while we regret the loss
of his wisdom and virtuous example, in
all the various relations of life, we rejoice
that one more is added to the angelic
choir; and though dead, he yet speaks to
all who knew him in life by the purity of
his precepts and example.
Resolced, That our knowledge of his
inestimable worth prepares us more deep
ly and sincerely to sympathize with his
afflicted sister and friends; and we hum
bly, pray that He who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb, may sanctify this at
Fiction to their good.
ReSolved, That in token of respect we
will wear the usual badge Of mourning for
thirty days
Resolred, That the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be placed on the minutes
of thi, evenings session, and published in

Audited Accounts in 1851.

The rag pickers of the Slavocratic press
in this State, have picked 80 persstently at
the Auditors Report for 1857, that we
should or might, be considered unthanktul
for their services, did we not show up
some of the beauties of Mei, last year Of
power. One Ct the first acts Of the
Bord of Auditors that year was to allow
Nicholas Grcusel and J. +. Pitman $3.50,
as officers in the Mexican war; and during
the year, S2j7 to others of like character.
Two questions here arisc-Why should
this State pay Mexican officers And
why, if these claims were just, and they
not allowed till four or five years after
they were due? Is it not evident that
they were claims which it took years to
engineers through?

for bill of candles, $l0l So
The Grand Rapids Enquirer informs
its readers that "the State has no use for
candles" Our officers have bought can
dies, and reported the amount, and the
price per ID. In 1851, according to the
Enquirer, his officers stole small quanti-
ty, but how many, we know not. 1t is
surprising, if they did not steal them,
that they did not follow their usual course
by calling them "sundries' For that
reason, we don't believe they stole them.

dence Of her father. in Howard Co., JENNIE. daugh
Ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor Hushes, aged eleven
years.
The admirable qualities exempIifed in Jennie :
character and department, render her demise wor-
thy of more than passing notice.
For child. she was quite amiable; as a daush-
ter she was obedient TO her parents; their wishes
and commands she always regarded with due f.
erence;-as SISTER she was kind and afiectionate
and at-cntve 10 the wants Of her smaller brothers
and sisters, always diiigent IN supplying those
waEts;--as pupil, she was respectful 10 her
teacher and studious 10 her lessons; as a school
mate, she was companionable and aiable, and ex-
ceedinCly good Ratured toward her playmates;-
during an almost daily communion with her for a
period Of eight months, DO not rccollect of hay-
ing ever seen her temper the least ruiTled.
The circumstances attending her death are Pc
cuarly painful 10 her parents and friends; as she
was perfectly insensible 10 all surrounding objects
during her entire illness, and they were thus de-
privet of the happy privilege OF conversing with
her in reference 10 her evident approaching disso-
luton. No doubt everything was done that could
have been done, by skl!ful physicians, 10 restore
her, but all in vain. At times, however, symp-
toms were more favorable, and fond, though faint
hope Of recovery was INDUCED; but after a fort
nights intense anXety on the part of parents and
friends, understanding pain on the part of the
deceased, the angels Of death came TO serve the
royal summons 10 release her from Suffering, TO
claim her as an object s'too fair for earth ;, 10
watt her spirit from world of sin and sorrow. to
regions of endless bliss. She, the lovely flower OF
earth, is, doubt transplanted in the nursery of
Heaven, there TO bloom and shed its fragrance
throughout and infinite Duration.
