Helen A. Cleveland, aged months and days.

Died, in Lynchburg, Va, November 10Th,
JAMES CABELL infant son of Alfred II. and Re-
becca F. Miller aged months and Is days.
The only child of Christian parents gathered
to the bosom of God, yet leaving in every
child relic remembrancer of heaven, an incen-
tive to devotion and holiness, and causing heav.
en- itself to seem nearer and more real. 1.-The
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away,
blessed be the name of the Lord" Though he
STAY me, yet will l trust Him.
Died, at Prince Edward c. a., Va, on the
2sth of September, 1868, Miss SUSAN c. WoR-
SHAM, daughter of Branch j. Worsham, Esq.
This modest, retiring Christian lady, for many
years member of College church, was cou-
sistent, faithful follower Of the Redeemer, and
in all the relations OF life, adorned the profess
sion she had made. Her health began to fail
some years ago, and for the last nine months
she declined rapidly. She looked death so long
in the face, that it lost It's terrors and she pre-
pared for her departure in the minutes; particu-
lars, as carefully as she would for an ordinary
Journey May those whom she loved, and who
now mourn her loss endeayor To follow her as
she followed Christ, and then they may be sus-
in heaven. Her end was peace. "Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord" w.
Died, on the 9Th instant in SUMTER S. c.,
at the residence of her father, the Rev. d. Nc
Queen, Mrs LIZZIE P, wife of the Rev. I. l..
DeVeaux, in the SD year OF her age.
The deceased was in feeble health for several
years. In the spring of 1867, she moved with
her husband to Madison, Fla, with the hope OF
deriving benefit from residence in that mild
climate; but failing to realise her expectations,
she returned last summer to her old home, where
she breathed away her life. She was an afec-
tionate wife, a most devoted mother, firm
friend and a sincere Christian. In converse
ton with her husband and another shortly be
fore her death, she said, referring to three pre-
cious children whom she had seen laid away,
~ have little family in heaven whom | shall
soon rejoin." 81 know that my righteousness
is but filthy rags; but Jesus is all sufficient. He
is all my trust"
She was a great sufferer for months; but on
the morning of the 9Th, without any indications
of pain, conscious almost to the last, she passed
away; her calm, sweet countenance expressing
in death that peace which faithful Redeemer
imparts to his people.

property in virginia.

Immediately upon the Adjournment OF
the negro Convention, we called attention
to the swindling provision in the Constitu-
ton upon this subject. In the last number
Of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist we
find the following articles
CHURCH PROPERTY.
We earnestly call attention to the remarks
Of the Richmond Dispatch upon an insidi-
GUS article Of the proposed Constitution,
absolutely giving away our property in the
Virginia part of the Baltimore Conference
to their worst enemy, the Methodist Eplsco-
pal Church. Unless all concerned arouse
themselves to defeat this villainy, there will
be o great cry heard in Ramah when it
shall be too late.
For the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist.
CHURCH PROPERTY IN VIRGINIA.
Mr.. Editor,-I would be much gratified if
the minds of your Virginia readers were
called to consider the fact that if the Con-
stitution framed by the recent Convention
held in Richmond become the organic law
Of this State, the title to erery ch'rch ed,-
flee and parsonage now used by the minis
tiers and members of our church, decided
prior to 1874 land in the bounds Of the Bal
timore Conference, those decided prior to
1861. will become vitiated. The article
on siChurch Property" provides that :" IL
ties to ecclesiastic property shall not be at
fected by the late war nor by any antecedent
or subsequent event, but shall in oil cases
revert to those organizations to which the
original deeds were executed, any act or
acts of the Legislature to the contrary not
withstanding." The antecedent event IN this
case, which gives us the use of the said pro
perty, is the division Of the Church in 1874.
The subsequent event bearing upon the case
is an act of. the Virginia Legislature Il think
in 1869 providing for permanent settle
ment of disputes as to the right of occupy
ing houses Of worship. This act did but
sheer. Justice to the southern Church but
by the aforesaid Constitution (if adopted)
it will be null and void. AS certain bishops
| now SO Jealous in organizing mission con-
| ferences may have use for church buildings
and parsonages, it behooves Virginia Me.
thodists to note this provision, and ask If
there were not some persons in the Conven-
ton acquainted with Methodistic operations.
| It is at least remarkable that an article 80
| exactly suited to the situation" should
have crept into the document without de-
| sign. Is it, then, out of place for minister
even to urge every white man who can vote
to 60 to the polls and record his dlsapproval
of such iniquity
| Very truly, yours, MARION.

Mr.. DAvIs.-The following, says the
Alexandria Gazette, is an extract from a
letter written in Montreal on the 29th ulti-
mo by gentleman now residing there, but
who lived in Alexandria previous to the
war:
"Mr. Davis is still in Canada, awaiting
in anxious suspense his trial, but we all
have strong hopes, since the acquittal of
President johnson, that he will not be
brought to trial. / have. again had the
pleasure of his society at my house. He
remained with us one night, and l had an
opportunity of a long talk, which, ! assure
you, I esteem a great privilege. Indeed,
his manner is SO social and agreeable, and
he imparts information so pleasantly, that
one may truly feel proud in the conscious
ness of being made better under the influ-
