Obituary.,

DIED, at the residence of her father, Col
GEORGE D. CUMMINGS, in Desota county,
Mississippi, ON the 3Oth ult., in the Both year
of her age, MARGARET c., wife Of w. A. Nc.
CLAIM.
The deceased having for many years been
a constant sufferer, death came not altogeth-
er at an unexpected hour, and therefore,
found her fully prepared to join the Angel
throng on high. She bore her short but
distressing illness with christian fortitude,
and was perfectly resigned to her fate. AS
she viewed her approaching end, she gave
her two infant children to the keeping of
her sisters and expressed an ardent desire
that they might receive a mothers care
Up to within short time of her latest
breath, she, in faltering accents seemed to
commune with herself Finally her spirit
left its earthly tenement and borne in tr.
umph on the wings of angels, entered its
eternal abode. Since then her youngest
child has gone to join its mother in that
bright and happy world above. Weep not,
beloved ones, your loss is their gain. Let
their advent to a Heavenly home be to you
a consoling thought. 4.

At her residence in this county, suddenly,
on the 18th inst, Mrs. SALLY ORoAIS, wife of
Griffin Orgain, in the 18th yearof her age.
The subject of this notice was born and
raised in this county. She was constant
reader of the Bible, and had been faithful
member of the Methodist Church for the last
twenty-five or thirty. years-always dis
charging her christian duties faithfully and
cheerfully. Although she was called sud-
denly from time to eternity, it was not unex-
pectcd, for she had been seriously afflicted
for many years; yet when the summons
did come, it fell heavily upon the bereaved
family. She was dutifnl wife, kind and
affectionate mother, and was generally be-
liked by all who knew her. To her be-
reaved husband, children and relatives, we
would tender our sncerest sympathy in this
their hour of bereavement, and may they
eyer remember that although she cannot
come to them, yet they have the blessed
privilege Of going to her. S.

No RosE WITHOUT ITS THoRN.--Since tour
stern alarums are changed to merry meet
ings," and our whilom gallant foes extend
their hands in friendly greeting, nothing so
bars the way to perfect reconciliation as
the universal sympathy Of our women with
the "lost cause" Our adversaries who ere
while amounted bsrbed steeds,' would now
"caper nimbly in ladys chamber" and
win Southern bride. But they cannot
brook the leaven of old disloyalty, and are
thus driven 10 the arms of our ebon damsels,
or those whose compilations are whittier than
their regulations. Not many moons ago, a
distinguished ex-Federal officer Of high rank
wooed and won lassie of the latter class.
widely known in this community. Doubtless
feeling that he lad thus given a most con-
vincing proof of renewed anity with the
people against whom he had so lately fought,
and establisheda new claim upon their socia ]
regard, he proudly displayed, in all the glory
of her gorgeous wedding raiment, this beau
teoss pledge of peace and lovely claim to
social Advancement in every place which
sweet virtue most adorns. Alas for all the
bright visions painted by his rapturcd fancy
upon the futures golden skiesl A few brief
months of delirious hope and joy, aud they
were rudely dashed. He was awakened
from his roseate dreams by the dreadful an :
partition Of an officer OF the law, come to ar.
rest his "bright, his beautiful, his blest, upon
the horrid charge of theft More horrid
still all that brave array in which she stood,
bushing bride, at the altar, was claimed as
the property of a negro woman, from whom
II had been purloinedl As the charge is to
undergo judicial investigation, we refrain
from all comment except to express the hope
that she may be proven innocent of the &c.
cusation, and bless the heart and home Of
her gallant soldier hero, with an immaculate
reputation. Understanding that Governor
Brownlow has been appealed TO by the fair
accused, we beg leave To offer him our COM
miseration, in the conflict his tender sensi
bilites must undergo, to decide between par.
ties who so equally claim his sympathies.-
We tremble however for our fair ones fate
and fear her petition will kick the beam in
the scale with Ethiop's daughter, whilst the
negro suffrage bill is so near his heart.

DIED..

In this city, at the residence Of her father,
very suddenly, Mrs. ELLEN D. WILLS wife
of DR.. Ben. Wills, Of Garrettsburg, KY, in
the 22d year of her age.
There are associations connected with the
above announcement that make it peculiarly
sad and mourpful to our feelings. She was
the youngest daughter of our Senior editor,
and had been married only some twelve
brief months. Thus entwined about faith
er's heart and idolized by husband that
has lost her at the moment, when she hal
become doubly dear--this tender bud "nip-
ped by an untimely FROST" provokes an un-
wonted tear. We pray that the little life,
whose advent has taken her own, may long
live, sweet and soothing memory, to cheer
the heart Of those who have lost so darling
daughter, and him who has been deprived
Of that most precious of all Gods gifts, a
true, devoted and noble wife.

The New X. R. DEpor.--A few days since,
a sauntering stroll through our suburbs car
eied US by this lately erected edi6ce. It's
handsome exterior excited a curiosity to see
within, which the courtesy of one of the v.
r. officers enabled us to crafty. We were
ushered Into alarge and commodious dining
room, the many and neat tables Of which,
with their snowy linen and bright table
ware, gave promise of the best and most
abundant cheer to the hungry passenger. On
one side Of this large eating hall are the
rooms used by the landlord and his family,
on the other are the rooms of the Receiver,
Superintendent, Telegraph Operator, and all
the various officers devoted to the business
Of the road. These are all admirably adapt
ed to their uses. In this end are also the
sitting rooms for passengers, one for gentle
men aud another for the sladies. These are
very comfortable and have attached the I'M
usual conveniences Of water closets, as neat
as we ever saw in the best hotels. Alto
gether the building combines, appropriate
ness of site, usefulness of plan, neatness,
comfort and beauty, with economy in re-
markable degree. The old depot, in its I'M
couthness, discomfort and utter insuficiency
for the wants of the travelling community,
has long been reproach to the road. There
fore both the company and the travelling
public owe hearty thanks to Mr.. Lewis for
consulting so we'll thebest interests of both,
as he has done. in the erection of the new

vALHSTISE DAy---camc of yesterday. We

these amorous missives. Our first emotions
of Indignation have been assuaged, by the
after reflection that these horrible caricatures
of OUT elegant personsNe, came only from
disappointed girls.
awe do confess with many sigh,
Our lips have told you many a lie."
And ia an coatriteness we receive these re-
taliatory missiSes. Could we have had the
same marital privileges eajoyed by Governor
Young, of Utah, We might not have given
these fair and furious ones any occasion for
such awful reproaches as some of these mis-
,ives convey. When the female heart
nwakes to the fslsehoed Of gay deceiver,
its reaction is terrific, and even Caliban
would hardly personate him, who once had
been to their enamored fancy "the glass OF
fashion and the mould of form" Yet with

many monstrosities, that lie on orr desk MS

GYMSAsIuM.--We attended the Exhibit
ton at the Gymnasium last Friday night the
proceeds Of which are to be appropriated to
the destitute people Of the South. Al an
early hour nearly every available seat in the
building was filled with an attentive and
appreciative audience, the greater portion
consisting Of ladies. After some excellent
music by the Brass Band, from New Provi-
dence, which was kindly volunteered for the
occasion, the young gymnasts made their
appearance and went through their varied
exercises in a manner which would have
been creditable to more experienced perform
ers. All appeared 10 strain every, nerve to
its utmost tension to give satisfaction, and
the frequent applause from the auditory evil
denced that their efforts were not in vain.--
There appears 10 be oommendable spirit of
rivalry existing between several Of the juvi-
nile members, who are making great prof.
cheney in the athleticcxercises. This organ
i,arion is composed Of the best young men
md juveniles in the city, and we are glad to
see their efforts sanctioned by the communi-
ty. The Exhibition closed about 10 O'clock,
when the audience dispersed, well pleased
with the performance, with conscious
feeling too, that they had contributed some.
thing towards relieving our less favored
countryrSen of the South.
Much credit is due Mr.. Nsttlh the Presi-
dent for the manner in which he conducted
the exercises Of the evening.
BY reference to the correspondence be-
tween the Association and the Southern
Relief Society, it will be seen that the pro-
ceeds of the Exhibition amounted to $40 IS.
