Oled--On 18th June, 1858, at her residence near Huntsville, Arkansas, Mrs. MARY MoopY. aged A years. The deceased was the wife of John w Moody, respectable citizen of our county: daughter of our old and much esteemed friend John c. Long.
 Mrs. Moody was in the bloom of voutb surrounded by friends and prospects of future happiness. Mortals, however, no matter what their health, happiness or station in life. are creatures of death.
 Fourteen or fifteen days under the ravages of typhoid fever, complicated with Aux, sealed her fate on earth. Her friends however have the consong qualification to know that she had the constant attention of the physician of her choice, and every possible aid which the con stant presence of her affectionate husba nd tender mother, and devoted brothers and sisters could afford
 Though death has claimed and removed onr trlend. as the victim of his ravages, his triumph IS bat short; by faith in the blood of Redeemer she smiles at the ravases of death, and the language of the poet cries, God my Redeemer lives And ever from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust Till he shall bid it rise.n
 Here then we leave our friend not annihia- ted-not dead, but sleeping only till the grand jubilee, when the ransomed of the Lord shall return to Zion.
 This alone is the proper end of our being after all tho pomp and gaudy display of worldly fame--a Cicero, Hanibal,- Washington or Napoleon submit themselves hel bless and DOW erless at the tomb; while hic jacet is all that earth can say of the vanished shade of power.
 Mrs. Moody was an affectionate wife. kind peaceabe and worthy laiy in society, and will be lamented by many friends. She leaves two tender babes.
