OBITUARY.

The Rev. WIN. LEE DALEY departed this life,
on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, February 7th,
1866, after sudden and severe illness. Under
particularly sad and trying circumstances did
death claim its ictim. His wife was at that
time, and had been Tor three months, lingering on
bed of suffering and affliction, during which
time, an ample opportunity was afforded him for
developing those noble qualities which were natu-
rally implanted In his bosom, and rendered still
nobler by religion. For many we, ks, the recov-
cry of his wife was almost hopeless so powerfully
did diseas, prey upon her system. This was
heart-rending to him; but he bore these sorrows
without murmuring, was untiring in his atten-
tions, and evinced at all times his love and sim
cere anxiety for her restoration. So, when this
faithful watcher entertain the strongest hopes,
he fell a victim to disease, fingered tor short
while, on bed of suffering in the room with his
beloved companion, where he breathed his last,
and his spirit was borne by angels to a fairer and
happier cline.
Did not those moments present upon
which angels might have gazed with heartfelt
emotio s? One Of natures fsirest sons has fallen;
we'll may we weep! Few were ike him. The
Church has lost one of its most useful Ministers.
Tho he abored with us for so short time, and
under such unpleasant circumstances, every facul
ty of the mind and every impulse of the soul seem
to have been united and exercised for good. None
doubted his piety. Not only was he loved and
respected in his native county, but by all those
with whom his connection as member of the
Virginia Conference had made him acquainted.
his last Wofds OF warning were 10 tne peopie Vi
his native land. 1t seemed that he sent home
to die. He was too feeble in his last hours to con-
verse much; was, however, conscious OF his con-
dition, and said to his sister, who had watched
with care and solicitude the fearful havoc which
disease making upon his tral nature, that he
did not doubt but that his Father would receive
him to Heaven. Wife, brothers, sisters and to all
who mourn his departure, weep not weep not !
None chaunt the chorus of hallelujahs more sub
timely, none touch the harps of praise more
sweetly, and none will receive more cordial
welcome into the realms of eternal bliss: +

RECOVERY OF STOLEN LIoUoRs.-A por-
ton of the liquors stolen from the establish
ment of f. w. Lemosy in Portsmouth, on
Tuesday night, was found yesterday in a cell
lar on the North East corner of High and
Crawford Streets, Portsmouth. This cellar
has been used as negro bar-room, and Is
the haunt of all the vllainous, thevinS con-
trabands in that city Officers Harrison and
johnson, by indefatigable exertions, traced the
suspected parties to this den. and about 4
o'clock Yesterday evening, made Il descent up
OH the premises. and discovered five negro
men and woman engaged in swilling whis-
key, and playing old sledge." As soon as
they entered, one Of the men ran out, the
others were arrested and were before his
Honor, Mayor Collins this morning. though
we could not remain to hear all of the exami-
nation, it seemed that the principals in this
stealing affair made their escape. The names
of those now in Jail are George Washington,
VIM Coleman. james Campbell, VIM Madi
son, and Adeline Dukes. A number of skele-
ton keys of all sizes was found in the cellar,
and there is no doubt, but that i'll this hole
has bees concocfed much of the rasealitr now
rampant in our community. All of the ne
groes connected with the affair, are old offend
ers, and have been frequently before both
Mayor Collins and the Freedmen's Court, and
it is to be hoped, that the latter institution
into whose hands they will finally pass, will
make forcbIe example of the black sound
rels, even though it runs the risk of being
abused by Col. Pepper. The value oil the re-
covered property amounts to about $500, and
we learn that officers Harrison and johnson,
to wh"tn much praise Is due for ierretting out
the thieves, viii he ,its'le handsome present
of 500, 10y the owner OF the Liquors.
