OBITUARY..

Died, at Mulberry Grove Plantation, on
Monday, the 18th inst, Mr.. ABRAHAs
BrRD, In the seventy sixth year of his age.
The above brief lines announce the death
of another cid and esteemed citizen, one
who for his many noble and beautiful
traits Of character has made himself liked
and respected by all who knew him. AS a
Father, he was very sffectionste and devo-
ted; as a friend-true and s,aunch IL was
when misfortune or reversed befell his
friend, that he showed his kindness Of
heart, his sympathy was then aroused, his
benefcient hand tendere, and his encour
ageiDg words listened TO with pleasure.
Mr.. Bird is universally known ss liberal
and most excellent citizen. he was always
ready and willing to promote the welfare
Of his country, and when II was question
of advancing the interest Of his State or
Parish, he invariably took an active part
in endesvoring to further that purpose,
and in every instance proved himself to be,
what he really was good and useful man.
AS q planter he was most successful, being
the possessor Of more than half million
of dollars, all of winch he acquired by his
individual industry perseverance and new
er swerving honesty.
Mr.. Bird attained good old age, and
the satisfaction Of seeing his children fol
low the many wholesome examples he
gave them, and during his last moments
surrounded by his children, grand chill
dren and a host Of relatives and friends,
he departed this life with the happiness Of
knowing, that his mortal days were spent
in most edifying manner.

DEArB OF A COMMERCIAL AeENr.-
Advices have been received in Sa.
lem, Mass, ofthe death Of John B.
Williams, Esq, U. s., commercial
agent, at Devuka, Feeiee Islands,
and formerly consul at Bay Of Is-
lands, New Iceland. He died at
his consulate on the 10th of June.
Mr.. Williams was a son of the late
Capt. Israel Williams, of Salem,
and was about 40 years old. He
has been absent some sixteen years,
but was at home on a short visit
about six years ago. When he first
obtained the consulate, application
was made to Mr.. Clay to use his
interest in behalf of Mr.. w. The
great statesman inquired where the
place was for which a consulate
was desired, protesting that his geo.
graphical knowledge was at fault
and needed brushing up; and, upon
being informed, humorously replied,
"0b, there will be no trouble ;
Mr.. Williams can have il I; nobody
else will want to go there that is
where they eat people, isn't it 7"

INgENpIARY FIREs-Large Amount

INcENDIARY FIREs-Large amount
of Property D,siroyed.-As we brief
" stated in our edition Of yesterday
morning, = destructive FIRE broke out
about half past IL o'clock Sunday
night, on Poydras street, opposite the
market, between Dryades and Bar
onne streets. Ii started in the rear
of the grocery store Of Mr.. II. Weber,
and swept over the building and four
others adjoining, as follows Mr..
Weber's grocery store, Sylvester ~
Sons clothing store, l.. Roxenbur.
gber's tailor establishment, B. Ko.
walski's clothing store, and the Git
liens Bakery establishment. The
loss is some iifsy or sixty thousand
dollars, the greater part Of which is
insured. Mr.. Weber is insured for
$1,000, Sylvester q Son for $4,000,
Mr.. Rozenburgher for $4,000, and
MIR. Kowslski for $4,000, but the
damage to their property is over these
amounts. The fire was evidently the
work Of an incepdiary, for previous to
the breaking out Of the flames at the
store we have named, two attempts to
fire the place had been discovered
The firemen worked at disadvantage
on account of the narrowDess Of the
street, but had they not labored so
gallaptly there would have been ter.
rible destruction of property.
While the men were succeeding in
their efforts 10 subdue this Gre, apotb.
er alarm was telegraphed. 1t was
for another disastrous condagration
that broke out in the feed.room Of
the stables attached TO Mr. Z. Cum
miugs' residence on st. Cherries street,
between Polympia and Felicity streets
The flames quickly got under head
way here, az the 6remen could not
work for want of water. The dwell
ings, etc., destroyed in this section
we're as follows: -Four two story frame
buildings owned by Mr.. Cummings
and occupied by Mr.. G., Mr.. Adeola,

dollars, insurance $4,000; Mr.. Burns

the other buildings will be six or

THE UsE AND ABUSE OF IrAJIo LEr-
rERs.-ln good prose( says Frederick
SchlegelO every word should be un-
derliped; that is, every word should
be the right word; and then no word
would be nearer right than another.

What asks Holofernes, did Plato
print his books all in RomansH In
mentioning Plato, | mention him
whose style seems to be the sum
init Of perfection. But II il be OBJ
jeotcd that the purpose of italics is
TO give force TO style, which Plato,
from the character of his subjects,
was not solicitous about. | would
reply, that there are no italics in
Demosthenes. Nor are there in any
of the Greek or Roman writes,
though some of them were adopts
in the art of putting as much mean
ing into words az words are we'll
fitted to bear. Among the odd com. d.
binations which chance is ever and
anon turning up, few more wbimsic-
al than the notion that one is TO gain
strength by substituting Italics for

which can not DO done at much

70 her screw shaft being unsupport

away some inches of the bearings
which must, even in its present state
cause q great deal of vibration when
