OBITUARY.

Died at his residence in Baltimore
Hundred, on Monday morning, the
7th inst, George r. Truitt, NJ. D.,
aged 81 years.
1t is melancholy, under any cir
cumstances to chronicle the ravages
of the fell destroyer of our race; but
when death strikes down the young,
the gifted and the loved, the task
becomes still more solemn and sad
dening. When the aged, in the
evening of a well spent life, lie down
to the slumber Of death we wipe
away the kindly tear of regret and
bow in submission to the laws of our
being. But when those we love are
stricken down, ere the noontide Of
life has arrived, in the midst Of q
career Of usefulness to their fellows,
we are almost led to murmur at the
dispensation Of Omnipotence. and
ask ourselves why it is that the des-
troying angelo ould not be permitted
to withhold the impending blow, and
the intended victim be spared a
while to his family and the commu-
nifty. ~ p ~ - @ 'o
Thus it was that we felt when the
announcement came that the sub
ject Of this brief notice was no
more. He whose prospects were so
Aattering. He SO happy in the love
of friends, sisters and above all in
the confidence and maternal affec-
ton of young wife, to whom he
had been united but few short
months, and he to die! He so warm
hearted and generous to die just as
he bid fair to be an ornament to his
profession, an honor to his friends,
the pride of his family, and citizen
Of unblemished character. How in.
scrutiable and mysterious are the
ways Of Providence!
1t is a source of consolation to the
bereaved family, and friends, that
the deceased had been, for some
time previous to his last illness, Sc
riously inquiring after the pearl Of
great price, and during his short
illness, he expressed an entire will
ingness to trust in the merits of his
Redeemer.

STATE TEMPERANCE socIE.

This body will convene in Smyr-

Of temperance men, who assemble

sey and Delaware, the Hon. @. S.

ject of the meeting. The appoint
ment of q committee to frame a

the management of said Depository
the adoption of measures for supply
| ing the same with Bibles, all q
which we're on motion referred tc

ted under the constitution. Thu

further that measures be taken tt
distribute the Bible throughout tn,
County. The Rev. Mr.. Mustard
stated that under the auspices of tn,
State Society he had explored tn,
coast portion Of the county recently
and had seen that each family wa
supplied with copy of the Bible
either by their purchase or donation
but that the western line of his la
Dor was not well defined; whcreupo
the Society by motion requested. hir
to serve them in visiting the county
up to the eastern side of tho roa
leading from Milford to Georgetown
and thence down past Phillips Hill
to the Maryland line. For the Q,
ploration of the western half Of tn
county and thorough distribution 0
