OBITUARY.

Corporal N. L. DUNLAP, OF Capt. Foste, 3
Co. 4th 5. O. Cavalry, was wounded Nav 2stL
near Richmond, and died ia that city, June Sth
1854, aged about % years.
The subject Of this notice was native of
Lancaster District, aud with tnany others of her
noble sons, he volunteered eafly in the war for
the defence OF our country. He served ON the
coast with great fidelity for about two years,
and when hts command was ordered to yir.
ginia in the spring he went. Soon after they
arrived in Va, they went into battle and while
nobly coptending with the enemy, fell, n,ortally
wounded. The best of all is, he wasa good
soldier Of Jesus Christ" Having the adyan.
tage OF pious parents, he was e.a4y indoctrina.
Ted In the principles OF christianity by which he
prphted. And no one perhaps can point to al
act Of his life that could be considered other.
wise than the fruit Of the noble christian, prin-
ciples In which he was instructed. He lived a
consistent member OF the NJ. 4. Church, South:
he died lar from home and we believe that he
rests iit heaven.
His bereaved parcnts had the melancholy
satisfaction of Obtaining his body and of bury.
ing it near the Church where he worshiped. =
The large concourse that attended his funeral
obsequies, attested the esteem in which he was
heid. A J.-C.

Distressing Accident.

On Saturday afternoon last our community
was startled by the intelligence that Peter Wy
lie, son Of DIR. A. p. WyIie. of Chester, had
been killed In the outskirts Of our Village by
the accidental discharge Of gun IN his own
hands. There was no one with him when the
accident occurred except q small negro boy I,
but there seems to be no doubt Of the fact,
from the nature Of the wound, and other cir.
cumstances, that the gun was accidentally dis
charged In his own hands. The load entered
his brenst and shoulder, killing him almost in.
stantly. jury OF Inquest rendered their yer.
dict In accordance with these facts.
The deceased was thirteen years old, and a
very intelligen, and promising youth. He had
been here but a few days, on visit to his rels-
,ives. His sad fate has enlisted the syn,pa-
thies of our community with his sor owing
relatives.
