DEATH OF JOHN r. DUFROCQ.

The sudden death Of this old and esteemed
citizen Of Baton Rouge on Tuesday morning
last, has cast a gloom over the hearts Of hii
many and devoted friends in that city. But
q dav or two since he informed us that his
health was much improved, and in common
with his other fellow. citizens, hoped soon to
see him fully restored to health and visor.
Death often turks under 4 rose, and as often
dece;ves with the appearance of robust health
While his arrow is ranking in the heart OF
the victim. Poor DuFRoco! A nobler soul,
= more elevated mind, never acknowledged
the thrsldom Of the clay. Peace to his ashes.
May the Great Giver OF all Good chasten the
, affection of the widow and the orphan. 4

The vAL'E OF P,LIrFNE~s.-Mr. Butler.
Of Providence, Rhode Island, a Millionaire.
VINO died some six years ago. was so oblis-
lag that he ~reopened his store one night. solely
to supply a little girl with a spool of thread
which she wanted. The incident became
known, (Mr. Butler was a young man,) and
the trading public wisely thought that his
accommodating spirit, as shown in this trif-
lug affair, and in the general conduct of his
business, deserved a good run Of custom,
which they gave, and placed him on the track
Of high prosperity. He subscribed the sum
OF forty thousand dollars towards founding a
hospital for the insane in Rhode Island
through the benevolent opportunities Of Miss.
Dix.
