OBITUARY.

Died in this town on the morning OF
the LIST inst, THORNTON TAYLOR SAN
FORD, second son of VIM. l.. Sanford,
Of this Parish, in the 22d year Of his
age.
The death of our young friend, SO
unexpected, and at SO early an age,
has thrown n pail of sorrow over an
afflicted family and large circle OF
devoted friends. Seldom have We
known a young man endowed with SO
many ,estimable and attractive traits
of character. With disposition rs
gentle as that of child he never failed
to win the affection of all, of whatever
condition, who happened to be num-
bered among his aequaintanees. Mo-
dest and unassuming, almost to a fault,
he was never guilty of those nnbecom-
ing breaches of decorum which SO often
mar the department. of youth in their
intercourse with those WHO are enti-
tied. by age or experience, to marks of
respect and esteem from the rising
generation. scrupulously truthful his
name was the synonym Of honor among
those of his own age with whom he was
thrown into daily association. With a
mind naturally gifted he had enjoyed
for several sessions the opportunities
of intellectual culture at the State Sem
mary and had but just quilted it's halls
to enter upon the active duties Of life.
But he has not been spared to realize
those hopes of success which his many
friends had INDUCED in his behalf.
When an old man dies, at the end Of
of long years of honor and OF virtue,
We feel that he has but passed away in
the ordinary course of nature; that the
ripe fruit, as Cicero says, has but fall
len at it's appointed season. But it is
sad to see the young torn from us, just
as they are budding forth into life,
when everything around them looks
bright and eheerfnl, and before the
heart has been chilled by the many
trials and disappointments which, SO
often embitter the declining years of
men. We are indeed reminded by al
most daily observation that death
has all seasons for its own" gE &
We are not permitted to enquire into
the ways Of Providence, which are
beyond human capacity to understand.
We can, however, at least find consola-
ton in the promise that our Affections,
even though the shaft should fall as
often and as heavily as it has recently
fallen upon this mourning family circle,
shall "wOrk for us far more exceed
ing and an eternal weight of glory"

corning the destructive fires in the woods
on the north side of the Columbia river.
The IRE is more dest, uctive, and extends

the family Of our correspondent were sit

Leaving their breakfast untouched, they
ran for place Of safety, and were barely
in time to escape being cut off from retreat
by the FIRE. They reached the residence OF
Mr.. Martin, on the bluff. The woods for
miles around the residence of Mr.. Martin
were mass Of flames, Men, women and
children, all went to work with will to
save the buildings. The mill and other
buildings belonging TO Mr.. Martin took fire
great many times one OF the buildings
had large hole burned in the roof, and II
was only by the most strenuous efforts that
anything was saved The fire ran through
the orchard, and burned nearly all the fenc.
ing on the place. Mr.. Justice, whose
place is nearly half mile from that Of Mr..
Martin, lost everything-his house, fence,
crops, and everything completely swept
away. ftS
The telegraph limo is burned down for
miles, and in some places the wires have
been melted for several feet by the heat
The wind created by the FIRE tore up fruit

I.
Father, as the years roll DER us,
Singing with earth's toll and care,
AS life's battle RACES fiercely, -.
And we sink meath dark despair;
How we miss thy loving accents,
words of cheer and comfort given,
Pointing ever through carth's darkness
To the glorious light of Heaven.
Truest earthly friend e'er given,
Never did we feel thy worth,
Till thy love and care forever
Passed away from us on earth.
Resin peace, o sainted Father!
Thou hast joined the loving band,
who were waiting to embrace thee
In that better, happier Land. EFT.
