OBH'EUAR Y.

Died, in McMinn county, on the 14th inst.
Mrs. BETSY LATTIMoRE, consort of Thomas
baltimore, in the 10th year of her age.
Mrs. baltimore had been seriously afflicted
for several months. with complication of dis
eases, but bore her sutferngs with patience
and resignation. Some days before she died
she called her husband and her children to her
bedside, and calmly announced that the hour
OF her departure was near, and her way was
bright and clcar-not passing cloud to dim
hei vision! She gave each one the parting
hand, with an earnest eXhortation to meet her
in Heaven. She was so weak that she could
scarcely speak, yet beam of celestial light
and joy oyerspread her countenance, and she
raised her feeble hands in praising her Savior!
For ten days before her death, her life seemed
to be suspended in a balance, trembling and
wavering on the confines of Eternity-almosi
in sight of the glory-and
Mrs. baltimore was truly kind neighbor
an atlectionate mother, dutifu wife, and fol
more than twenty years an humble and piou.
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. May her husband and children never
forget that parting scene, her dying injunc
tions, and their solemn promise to meet her IN
the better land.
She calls her weeping children near,
And takes the parting hand,
And bids them meet their mother, DEAR
In Canaan's happy land.
She fingers long on Jordan's shore,
Where angry pillows rise;
Bright angels watt her safely DER,
with music from the skies.
Her precious clay was gently laid
Beside her kindred dust, .
But IL Will rise when worlds shall fade,
And shine with all the Just.

The Norfolk Convention.

We have not had the leisure to read up the
proceedings of the Norfolk Convention care
fully, but learn from returned delegate-our
cnterprising and philosophical young friend,
T.J. DEMENT,, Esq.-that it was largely at
tended, and n greater degree of interest
and earnestnoss manifested than had been an.
ticipated even by the more sanguinc of those
concerned in getting up the movement. Lib.
cral appropriations were made for the estab.
lishmcnt Of the projected line of steamers, and
quite favorable results are predicted. The
Convention adjourned to meet at Memphis al
some future day.
We regret that we have not the time to look
into the proceedings more carefully and the
space this week to give the subject the atten.
tionit deserves. We shall no doubt have oc.
casion to refer to 1t again.

of persons to be seen going to and from that di-

was pretty full. See advertisement.
