DEATHS DoINGs.-Last Tuesday afternoon we
witnessed one of the most sad and uncommon
scenes we ever remember. The remains of three
persons-Mrs. J. Wbitmore, Mr.. Thomas Young
and Mr. James Gow--all in the prime Of life
were followed TO their graves by large number
of citizens. Three hearses journeyed in company
to the burying place on the hill side, and the
mingled mourners followed in procession to per-
form the last rites to the departed where the coG
fins were simultaneously lowered the triple So
lcmnity Of the occasion seemed TO impress the
multitude. The sad Office of mourner is common
enough, but an occasion like that of last Tuesday
cannot but impress the truth upon all, that " in
the midst of life we are in deathn

Miners MEETING AND TRIBUTE or REsPECr.-
At a meeting of the miners of Ferry Bar and
vicinity, held June 1st., VIM. Kirkham was called
to the Chair, and B. F. Flynn chosen Secretary.
The preamble and resolutions following were
adopted, and ordered to be printed in the TRINITY

Whereas, by an interpOstion of Providence,
we are called to lament the loss of our friend and
brother miner, so suddenly taken away while in
the full enjoyment of life and health therefore,
we, the friends of the late Thomas Young, at a
meeting called to express our sympathy, do
Resolre, That in our long and intimate acquain-
tance with onr deceased friend, we have ever
recognized in him those eminent qualities of mind
and heart which ever endeared him to MS all, and
caused him to be respected by those with whom
he had so long resided.
Res0lred, That to the bereaved friends and rel
atives of the deceased, we tender our heartfelt
sympathes in the death of one whose loss we
deeply depore and especially to his aged mother,
thus called upon to mourn the untimely decease
of a beloved son. We trust that the expression
of our sorrow may be mark of the esteem in
which he was held by those who knew him, and
help to console her in deep affection.
Resolued, That copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to Jno. j. Young, brother of deceased,
at San Francisco. b. f. FLYNN, Secy.

Died ::

At Sturdevant's ranch, in this county, on the
30th ut., MARY wife of Mr.. jeremiah Whitmore,
aged about l9 years Her remains were inferred
in the Weaverville buryngplace on Tuesday.
In Weaverville, on Saturday evening, May
28tb, 1859, Mr.. JAMES A. Cow, in the 33d year
of his age Mr. Cow was a native of England,
from whence he migrated with his father in 1915,
to louisiana The love of his new home and her
institutions fired his soul with patriotism, and he
Joined the 7th Regiment, Louisiana volunteers,
under Col. Deruro, and served in that Regiment
until the close of the memorable war with Mexi-
CO, after which he, like thousands of others, be-
came excited by the golden dreams of California,
to which place he repaired, still in the glow of
youth, to seek fortune, and return TO his home
in Louisiana. His disease was of that slow and
gradual kind Consumption well calculated to
destroy the patience, but he bore it with more
than christian fortitude. II will be a source of
consolation to his friends to be assured that du-
ring his whole illness, he had the best medical
skill in constant attendance that could be pro
cured.
Mr.. A. Love, Il fellow townsman of deceased,
watched over his sick bed, and mnstered TO his
wants with the affection Of a brother, and per-
II
waTm-hearted and devoted friend His sick cham
Der was constantly visited by Mr.. Loomis and
lady, Mr.. Brown and lady, Mrs. e. Edwards, Mr..
Messec and lady, Mr.. Brady and lady, and many
others, who like ministering angels, made the
approach of death less terrible. Though his last
days were among strangers, and far from kindred
or friends, our ladies, like good Samaritans were
ever ready to minister to his wants. On Tuesday
afternoon he was conveyed to the Methodist Eps
copal church, where a large congregation was
assembled to witness the funeral ceremonies. The
Rev. Mr. Myers delivered short but touching
discourse, at the close of which the corpse was
conveyed to the burial ground, followed by
large concourse of people, to pay the last tribute
of respect.
We have made him a soft and grassy grave,
Afar from the busy throng,
Where naught is heard but the murmurng wave,
And the gush Of the wild birds song
Where The orient beams of morning
May rest first upon his bed,
And where the tall pines deep shadow
Bends above his sleeping head.
Where the twilight shadows fall soonest,
And the bright stars first appear,
AS cleaning through the forest
They shine so pure and clear:
Where the winds may sing requiem,
In the lonely autumn hours:
When bending with the rain drops,
DrOop low the mountain flowers
And even there in winter
The snow shall softly fall.
And cover DER his resting place,
With pure, white funeral pail =
Then he must sleep in the wild wood,
Alone, but not forgot
For | know kind feet will often stray
To that green and lovely spot.

Dreadful Tragedy in Alabama

of Mr. Allen Page, of Conccuh county, Ala,
by band of highwaymcn, us we supposed ut

not only ncghbors of Mr.. Page, but men who
had received! from him the most generous
treatment. The old man WAS known to have
considerable sum of money about him, and
the only motive for the deed was thirst for
gold. The Conccuh Spartan thus details tho
facts:
AS NV. AlIen Page and John Wright were
rcturnlngin thcr buggy fromCiaiborne, where
they had been to dispose of their cotton, they
came upon an obstruction in the road some
three miles from Brcckimbridre. and when

Mr. Pagc was fired upon from distance of
only httccn feet and almost instantly killed.
Seven buckshot were lodged i'm his breast.

Mr. Wright, at the report attempted to spring
INTO the buggy, and at the same instant was
fired upon also, receiving three slight wounds
--onc IN the jaw, one in the body, and one
upon the arm. subsequently examination
showed that tho log behind which tile assas-
SIN lay, received the greater part of the sec

The Bunk Report,

The annual Report of Mr.. FrRMAN the Prcs-
dent of the Bank OF the State of South Carolina is
before us. The profits Of the bank for the year
past has amounted 10 the sum of SS27i SO 90 this
sum has been applied to the payment of interest on
and the reduction Of the public debt. The first in
salmcnt on the six per cent bonds issued under the
fire loan act becomes payable in 1860 and the bank
is prepared to meet it. After speaking of this and
other matters, the President says:
"ln reference tothe future operations of the bank
We would state that, after the payment of the in
stalmcnt of the public debit which has been already
referred to in this report, the bank will not be re-
CURED to meet any other portion of the State debt
before July 1868. There will, therefore, be an in
tcrval Of eight years, during which the funds will
accumulate from which the remaining State debts
arc to be paid 1t has been Mt different times sue-
gcstcd. that in consequence Of the increase of pop
ulation and business in tho upper districts of the
State, and their improved facilities by means of
railroad, it would be desirable to establish branch
of this bank in one of those districts. Should the
Legislature be of opinion that such measure is
advisable, the present would be suitable occasion
for making the necessary arrangements, and con-
fcrring the authority the board of directors to
carry the purpose into effect The accumulation of
funds in the bank will supply the means for the cs-
tablishmcnt of branch, without Withdrawing any
OF the capital employed at the present Offices of The
instituton.'
The Legislature, acting on his suggestion, passed
bill locating the proposed branch of the bank of
the State of South Carolina at Anderson C. II.
