the day. Mr.. Yancy, it will be remem-
bered, had returned from an unsuccess-
full mission to Europe, and was repre-
|senting Alabama in the confederate
senate.
The question of a navy was under
discussion in secret session. The de-
bate Hnged beyond parliamentary linn
its, and Messrs. Yancey and Hill be-
came animated over the abstract doc
trines of State. rights and the divinity
of slavery. High words passed, and
finally the lie was given by Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Yancey leaped forward, and as he
aimed a blow at his adversary, was
caught in the arms of the latter and
thrown violently back over desk. MIR.
Hill is man of wonderful muscular
development Mr.. Yancey was
never very heavy, though 1.-THE
and active. In the fall his
spine was seriously injured, and
when the bystanders rushed upon the
two and dragged the one from the 9th

upon the floor, with a little trickle OF
blood oozing from his lips. de was

cumstances for six months after. Mean
while the victim did not recover. He
dropped from day to day. He became
listless, hopeless and vacant He was
transferred to his own home, where his
commissions ceased few weeks before
his death, which was tranquil and calm.

4 Strange statement-Hew William L.
Yaaeey met his Death.

As you enter the cemetery at Mont
gomery, and turn to the right, you will
perceive a colonnade of maple trees
leading off to q1iet glen. Beyond is
grassy knoll, and leaving this to the
left yon will approach a pleasant Level
of greensward. Here you will be
tempted to pause before plain slab oil
white marble of the most humble des-
cription. 1t bears single inscription
civilian l., Yancey." His last words
were: '.Put me out of sight" And il
is said that he was constantly mutter-
ing, towards his latter end, these lin es
of Pope:
Let me live unseen, unknown,
And unlamented let me die,
Nor mound, nor monument, nor stone.
Tell where / lie."
His death was quiet and painless, after
a year of acute physical and mental suf-
fering. He was strict churchman; a
man of quiet manners; a handsome de-
claimer, and a fair scholar. He was
never wealthy, and it is understood that
he left his family without an indepen-
denee. fs ia
The time has come when the circum-
stances of his last illness and death,
with the occasion which suddenly con
vulsed a frame from perfect health into
a wreck, and mere shadow, may be
mentioned as historical fact. William
L. Yancey came to his death by VIC
lence. 1t was toward the close of the
second session of the first Confederate
Congress, that he broke from the coun-
sells and influence of Mr.. Davis, and be-
came, with MIR. Henry s. Foote, lead
er of the opposition. Mr.. Ben. Hill, a
senator from Georgia had likewise
changed his front, and was remarkable
for the personal interest and presisten-
cy with which he sustained the meas
ures of an administration to which his
allegiance had been given but late in

Dr. URASN, whose treatment Of chronic
diseases has met with such wonderful sue
cess in Montpelier and such other towns as
he aas visited in this state, left this Thurs
day morning for Portsmouth, N. H. During
his brief stay here very many cases have been
treated and his room has presented recepta-
Gle for orutches and canes which have borne
hither the crippled and deorepit that have
received such relief as to have no further use
for them.
One case in particular is so well known to
community that ii requires more than pass
notice Miss Cornels Thurston of Montpeli
has been a confirmed invalid for years and for
the past year aud half has been constantly
on the decline, suffering continual pain, and
became so unwell that during the six weeks
previous to her deciding to visit Dr. Uraun she
had not been able to be dressed or to sit up,
and was comparatively helpless On the
morning Of Feb. 9,h, by the greatest exertion
she was taken from her bed, dressed aud
brought one aud one-hslf miles to the Pavil-
ion, where she was carried to the room of
the Doctor and after a successful treatment
came forth without assistance, and ascended
aud descended stairs with the ease and ac-
customed agility Of her younger days ! ! -
In fact, so immediate and complete was her
cure, that she went to the house Of friend
in the village, with whom she appeared at the
supper table, in the language of one present
" as well As the best, and we have but 10
add, that ever since that period, has been con-
stantly growing stronger. She considers her
case permanently cured, and beLolds in won
der her present condition as compared with
past suffering. The Doctor has acquired an
enviable reputation here, and should he ever
revisit Montpelier, will be warmly welcomed
by much larger circle Of friends than ever
before. The filie,ed everywhere ,hould not
despair until they have uvaled themselves Of
DR.. Uranns skill.
