An old colored preacher and school
teacher in Columbus, Ga, was asked, the
other day, what party he belonged to now.
Like "man and BROTHER" he replied :
"Don'r blong to no party, sab loves all
good people jes alike; prays for all jes
alike" "Then," said the inquirer, "you
are philanthropist ?" "No, sab, isn't

GEORGE III.-The correspondence N Of
WINCH WING has Recently been published by GGE
e the en sns eT ersss sS%f sdd
War of independence. The King, as we
~, know, was very obstinate upon the
american question but he was not so ig,
norant as has generally been supposed
He even wrote once: " Perhaps the time
may come when it will DO wise to abandon
ali North America but Canada, Nova
Scotia, and the Floridas; but, then, the
generality of the nation must see it first il
that light" These letters conclusively
prove that he strenuously opposed every
attempt to persevere in conciliatory
policy, and bounded on the war as if he
had been engaged to preach crusade
Writing of the colonists, he remarked
elf we take the resolute part, they will
undoubtedly prove very meek."-Nen

DIED.

At the residence of James B. Graham,
Esq, on Saturday evening, Sept. 2lst, 1867,
WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Esq, aged about
SO years The deceased was one of the
oldest and most respected citizens of Clear
field borough His death is deeply mourn
ed by his numerous relatives, and many
warm personal friends His remains were
inferred in the cemetery, on the bill, on
Monday last, whittier they were followed
by large concourse Of people Peace to
his remains
DIED-in Curwensville, on Sunday morn
ing, September 18th, after short but Sc
we're illness, Mrs Isabella Ten EYCK,
wife of L. W. Ten Eyck, in the 3lst year
of her age. The funeral took place
from the residence Of her husband, ct 10
O. clock on Tuesday morning: and was at
tended by very large concourse of friends
and relations. The ladies' forming the so
cial CIRCLE of which she was an honored
member, and the Good Templars turned out
in body to pay the last tribute of respect
to the remains of one respected and loved
when living The deceased leaves a hus
band and five children to mourn her loss
| Those who were present and witnessed the
heartfelt anguish of the bereaved ones,
when her body was deposited i'll the last
resting place for the dead, can well appre-
ciate their worth to them when living Her
funeral was one long to be remembered, and
it is to be hoped that many heart read a
lesson from the solemn and imposing cere-
mony The deceased was more than an or
dinary woman. In all the relations of life
| she bore her part with "a firnness and energy
of character worthy Of the cause. As a
wife, she was truly ''help mate !" kind
and affectionate, she was the idol of her
husband s heart, and the admiration OF all
who knew her. As a mother, she was gentle
and forbearing, and never tired In the dis
charge of her duty toward her little ones.
| Benevolent and charitable, her hand was
always engaged in doing good Hers was a
heart that responded to every appeal, ard
often times even beyond her means. With
an adherence of vice, in every form, her
voice was always heard counciiing for good.
| No one knew her but to respect her no one
will remember her but in kindness. 10 her
| family her loss will be irreparable. 1t is a
consolation. however, to know that their loss
| is her gain The writer of this feeble trib
ute to her memory had the privilege Of
knowing something of the state OF her mind
| for some time previous to her death, and
has the consolation of knowing that her love
for her Redeemer was the uppermost
| thought She died mot as one without
hope" She was not unprepared for the
summons. That she died happy. and has
gone to meet her reward in heaven, is the
| hope of the mourning relatives and friends
| she has left behind.
| Rev. A H. Sembower preached a very
affecting and impressive sermon on the oc-
casion. Rev A. w Guyer, and Rev. j.
4. Kerns were also present and took part i'll
| the exercises.
