As she approached near the tomb her mind was
more aud more taken from the world, and tho

DEATH or GIN QuIrnAN.--It will be

Gen. Quitmsn, the high-souled and chival-

died at his residence near Natchez last eve

a more enviable reputation for spotless in

a great man, be was, in the best and high

the present Administration, was s23, 900.
We should have said that this was the
cost Of the mere model, of the door. We
don't know what the making of the door
itself will cost, but, allowing the actual
door to be no more expensive than the
mere model, the whole cost Of model and
door will be in the very near neighborhood

LIFE Observation-Disclosures instance of
the wisdom and bene6cence of life insu-
rance has just come under our notice, and
deserves to be mentioned. The late la
mented Edward T. Mott, as most of our
readers are aware, was a merchant in the
city, doing an extensive business; but not
withstanding his success in trade, he eff
fected an insurance on his life as early as
1S4S, for the sum of FIVE thousand dollars,
payable at his death to his widow, in case
she survived him. During the late COM
mercial revulsion, the firm of which Mr..
Mott was member was obliged, in COM
mon with many other good houses, to sue
cumb to the storm, so that all Of Mr..
Motifs means were required to meet his
bushes engagements. In the prime Of
life he has been suddenly called away, his
death having been occasioned by causes
which originally were of a triAing nature.
He was buried on Sunday last. Yestsr-
day the Penn Mutual Life, Insurance Com
pany, at the corner Of Third and Dock
streets, with a promptitude that reflects
infinite credit on the management with
out availing themselves of the delay to
which they were entitled under their pol
icy, paid Mrs. Mott the amount insured on
the life of her husband. 1t was both love
and wisdom on the part of Mr.. Mott, when
he thus made provision for his family
against the misfortunes of business and the
uncertainty of life, at time when every
thing seemed to promise rapid old age
and ample means. The public should
profit by this example. 1t is signal H.
lustration of the duty which rests on the
head of every family similarly situated, to
provide like support for his widow and
children in the event of their being de-
prived of his exertions.

Aaron Burr,s Tombstone.

In Partons life of Aaron Burr, we find
the following in regard to the mysterious"
stone that marks his burial place. We ex-
tract as follows:
GAS all in the life of Aaron Burr had
strangeness and peculiarly, it is not surpris-
ing, perhaps, that stone could notbe placed
over his grave except in an extraordinary
manner. Some efforts were made, and
some money was subscribed soon after his
death, to procure a suitable monument, but
the project failed through the inattention of
an agent. For nearly two years the spot
where he lay was unmarked, when one
morning it was discovered that a small, very
substantial, and not expensive monument
of granite and marble had been placed, dur
ing the night, over his remains. The Gene
terry at Princeton is situated in somewhat
thickly inhabited lane, and is overlooked,
in part, by people living upon its borders.
The principal gate is locked. No one in
town saw the monument erected, or knew,
or knows anything whatever respecting it.
Nor was there any stone-cutter in the vicin-
ity competent to execute such n piece of
work. No relative of Colonel Burr, nor
any Que of numerous informants, explained
the mystery. The person who did the pious
deed is known, however, and lives. Need
| say that to a woman's liberal hands Burr
owes the stone that commentaries his nameP'

Crops i'm Illinois.

The editor Of the Terre Haute Union,
who has been in Illinois, gives the following
report of the crops:
During our visit to Nation, Illinois, a
few days ago, we were somewhat surprised
to see the bad prospects for corn-not think
ing that so much had been destroyed by the
late floods as really has been. Thousands
Of acres between Paris and Charleston, the
greatest portion Of which had been planted
in corn, will not produce two good ears to
the acre. We noticed few large fields.
where the corn was scarGssy-over SIX inches
high, being literally choked down by the
weeds Along side of some of the fields
we noticed large tracts of corn in silk and
tassel-the contrast was rather striking
Judging from the fields we saw, the pros
pect for even one-third of crop is not very
fiattering, and we doubt very much whether
it even reaches that.
We also noticed thousands of acres of
wheat standing in tie shock, which some
say has been so much injured by the rains
as not to DC worth the threshing or hauling
out of the field. While at Nation, we
learned that many farmers had threshed
their wheat while it was damp, and the
highest price offered for it is from 5 to 10
cents per bushel. Not one half of the wheat
raised in Illinois this year, will bear ship
ping at any price. With these facts before
the wheat spectators, we cannot see why
good wheat does not command a better
price than it is now going at-60 to 65
cents
