D.,
tue Paulsackel family:
They were Germans, seven in number the
parents and five children-and were respected
and esteemed by all who knew them; and of the
seven only one now remains. Last year the
husband and father died, and soon afterwards
the youngest child. This was blow hard
enough to the survivors that year; but see how
the survivors Jared this year We copy the
deaths of the following from the published re-
cords:
Friday, Sept 24-Miss Katinka Paulsackel,
aged II.
sunday, Sept 2e.-Miss Rosa Paulsaokel,
aged %.
aged AZ.
Wednesday, Oct 2o-John Paulsackel, aged
10.
The only surviyor of the family is a girl, the
youngest of the three sisters The eldest sis.
tiers, Rosa and Katnka, were both of them love
ly and most accomplished young ladies, who
were admired by every body. Their death af-
hlcted their poor old mother in way which
mothers only can know. Her grief pre.dispos-
ed her to death-the destroyer marked her
and she soon followed her daughters to the
silent land. And now, of the two children left
after the mothers death, only the girl remains
the boy John having, in his turn, followed his
mother and sisters. Who will not feel touched
oy the contemplation of such q picture of sad
ness and death as this, and yearn for the child
thus left the sole survivor of family Of seven.
Another family which has been heavily visit
ed calls our attention whilst upon this subject.
MIR. koenrad Fuhri, scholar aud author and
Mt one time an extensive publisher in Holland,
came to this city several years since to repair
reverse of fortune he met with in his own coun-
try. He prOspered so well that last year he
sent for his family, and they arrived in Septem
Der OF that year-his wife and several children
This Summer he succeeded to the bookstore of
Mr. Norman, on Camp-street, and babe fair to
prosper. Mr.. Norman, before he left. spoke to
Mr.. Fuhri of the probabilities of fever, and nd.
vised him to send his family over the lake, OF.
fering his own house over there for theira accom-.
modation
This kind offer was declined, Mr.. F. stating
that he and his family had adopted New Orleans
as their permanent home, and wishing to be.
come acclimated, were willing to take their
chances as soon as the fever came along. So
they stald in the city, the fever came, and here
is the result, copied from the published records.

The widow and four youngest children remain
here, but are not frieudless. As the father was
a'schoar and man of refined tastes, and one
well off in the world, so his daughters that fol.
lowed him were educated, amiable and accom-
plshed. All would have been valuable to socie.

a CORRESPONDENT of the Raleigh Standard,
who has succeeded in the culture of tea in
North Carolina, writes that the Paraguay tea,
which5it is proposed to introduce into the Unit
ed States, is identified with the "Yapou,"
which grows wild on the North Carolina coast
and is very generally drank among the poorer
classes in that section. Many of the captains
of vessels prefer supply of it to coffee, as they
say their men nre with it able to endure more
fatigue and accomplish more labor 1t grows
wild upon the eastern coast, but when cultivated
and trimmed, makes beautiful tree.
