OBITUARY.

DIED-In Circleyile, on the 9Th ult.,
Mrs. ELIZA P. oLDs, wife Of Joseph Olds,
and daughter Of Mrs. H. NJ. Creighton. of
Portsmouth. Ohio, in the sed year Of her
age.
Only few short months ago We pub
lished notice of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Olds. Now we are called upon to re-
cord her death under circumstances of a
peculiarly painful character. A beautiful
home had just been completed. and long
and happy life seemed in store for her and
her bereaved husband, but in few short
days the hand Of death was laid upon her,
and the pleasant and happy home became
the scene Of bitter sorrow, OF sorrow for
which the bereaved husband, while he feels
aud knows he has the sympathy of many
friends, will find no consolation. In this,
for bin, trying hour, all is desolation and
wo. All his brightest anticipations Of the
future are destroyed. and deep gloom is
spread over his pathway. Though time
will assuage the bitter sorrow that pow ellis
his soul, yet it will not wholly obliterats
it, but it will attend him in the busy scenes
OF active life, and he will realize that
''Thc blight Of hope and happiness
Is felt when fond ones part,
And the bitter tear that follows, is
The life-blood Oft hoart.n
Bat he is not the only one who will
deeply mourn her untimely death. A
large circle will mourn the loss ola dadgh-
ter. sister and friend. who had endeared
herself TO them b,cause her warm, affec.
tionate disposition, her brilliant intellect
and many yiftues.-[ Gircleville Herald.
DIED, July 99th 1859, at the residence
OF her brother in Berue township. ELJzA-
BETH JACKSON. in the fftisth year OF her
age.
Death for her had no terrors, for hav.
ing we'll and faithfully performed all the
duties allotted to her in this lie, having
faith in the merits Of Christ, and unsha-
king onfdencs in the promises OF the Cos
pei. she departed and is at rest. Reader,

EII,ntt9S Knob.

Mr.. II. D. Whitcomb, Chief Engineer of the
Virginia Central Railroad, has lately "triangu'
lated" Elliott's Knob, in this county, and ascer'
tainod that its height is AS feet above mean
tide, and 2,375 feet above the highest point on
the Railroad. We fear these figures will dis
courage our friends who live under the shad'
ow" of 'Ellett." One of them gravely Informed
stranger last summer that the Knob was some
81 900 feet high, or more than 5000 feet beyond
Mount st. Elias, the highest point in North A
merica. But they may console themselves with
the reflection that the altitude Of classic Snow
den is only 3,571, and that Ben Nevis, "the gi'
ant of the Grampians," attains TIC only 4,36s.-
And, furthermore, if we havn't the highest
mountain in America, we have the highest in
Virginia. height of the boosted Peaks Of
Otter being 1890. For long time the Yam
KEGS claimed that theirssMt. Washington, in New
Hampshire, which is 1894 feet high, was the
tallest in the United States; butit is now ascer-
tanned that Clingman's peak, in North Carolina
ascends to 6,744 feet. We are glad that the Old
North State has something to brag Of

The Richmnnd Conrentinn

The Convention of those opposed to the cleo
ton of the Democratic State ticket, will assem-
BILE in Richmond on Thursday next. Ii we may
Judge from the prompt action by the counties
generally throughout the State, it will be one o
the largest political assemblies that has ever con
vened in the State, and we can but hope tina
the deliberations of the able men thus drawn to-
gether for common object, will result in mucf
good.
We trust that as many of the delegates ap
pointed from this county as Can possibly leave
home will be present on the occasion to repre-
sent the indomitable spirit and unyielding de-
votion to principle, which has ever characterised
the Wings and Americans of old Augusta.
