OBITUARY.

DIED, in this District OH the 11th March inst,
Mrs. MARY JANE HILL, consort of Mr.. HENRY
HILL, in the 32nd year of her age.
1t is melancholy duty, and we seldom record
the death OF one so amable, so much esteemed
and loved, as the subject Of this notice.
Being possessed naturally of mild and pleas
ant disposition, and having in curly life embraced
religion, and sharing largely i'll the many chris
tian graces, she was thereby enabled to discharge
the duties of her station, and to pass quietly, and
unostenatiously, the short time allotted her here,
with satisfaction and usefulness to all around and
especially her immediate family. During her
schoolgirl days she became subject of CONVEX
ting grace, and united herself with the Baptist
Church Mt Red Bank, where she lived, loved and
respected, 4 consistent and faithful member,
sever adornng the doctrines Of God, her Saviour,
by well ordered life and Cody conversation"
But in the domestic circle, in her own mmedi-
ate family, and around her own irc-sidc, is tho
vacuum greatest, and will the loss fall most heavi-
ly. Disinclincd naturally to mix much with the
world, and delishting especially in her own home,
it was there hor virtues sh0nc brightest, and her
usefulness was perhaps grca;est and il may be
said of her truthfuly, that temporarily, We'll ~
spiritually, e" her house was ever Set in ORDER"
Death for her, therefore, had no terrors. as she
constantly lived in state Of preparation, for
whatever, i'll tho Providence of God awaited her; /;
And although yet young in years, seemed more
fitted for the joys OF Heaven, than the trying and
perplcxing scenes of earth.
A husband, with four little children, nm aged
Mother, Brothers and Sisters, and numerous rela-
tives and friends mourn her loss. And while the
dspcnsation is truly affecting to the mother, and
relatives mud friends generally, it is indeed ire
parable, to tho dsconsolatc husband and bercave ell
little ones. But while VIC are powerluss to rave,
it is proper, and becomes our duty. to bow in
humble submission to tho will Of him that =" doeth
all things WELL as the loss to friends is cyidently
"her eternal gain."
VIZ announce with deep regret, tho death of
Dr. j. W. ADAMS He expired in the forenoon
of tho ED inst, at the carly ase of twenty -srven.
His illness was attended with exquisite suffering,
but it was borne with great fortiuie aad complete
resignation.
To his friends hisloss will he irrcparable, and the
void created in his fathers family by his death,
can never be filed lie hn an unyu, nehsblc thirst
for knowledge, ndcIutigable spirit, unbounded
industry, and determination of purpose that WAS
irresistible.
With most excellent natural abilities, he had
carefully cultivated mind, and would, doubtless,
had time heen given him, to reach the maturity
of bis powers, have gained an cnriablc disliac-
tOn. Such at least were the hopes which his t,l-
cnts and mental cultivation permitted his friends
to entertain. He was firm supporter of the dig
nifty and honor of bis profession; and would have
fought boldly and fearlcssy for tho rights Of his
brother practitioners.
By his many friends, his memory will long be
warmly cherished and while VIC cannot cease to
regret the bright promise blightcd by his untiiney
death, wo
"Trust that those we call the dead
Are brothers Of an ampler day
For ever noblcr ends. ". B. S.
DIED. Tuesday morning. 22nd March, 1859,

&" The Lori gave, AMI the Lort hath taken away
blessed be the name of the Lord"
Thou art gone to the hume Of the Angels,
10 enjoy the sweet blessings Of Heaven;
Thy sweet little tongue, is now priising,
Our God by whom you were given.
We miss thy sweet eye, of IN azure,
And tho music, of thy little tongue,
Thou art gonr where unccasiug pleasure,
And pruises to COD will be sung:
We often do think, that we hear thee,
And think Of thy often heard voice;
But alas VIC will never more see thee,
Until taken with thee to rejoice.
She'd not n tear. for our dear boy,
Whom the cold hand of death, has taken away
lie is carried above and there will enjoy,
The fruits Of Sweet Heaven for an endless day."
A FRIEND.
