The Convention.

4-e
J. The Commercial Convention, after a
session of Ave days, and tho transac-
ton of an amount of business consid-
erably exceeding that of any of its pre-
decess0rs. adjourned yesterday morn
ing at fifteen, inmates past eleven
o'clock. In no Commercial Conven-
ton preceding this have the States Of
the Union been SO fully represented.
The deliberations of 80 great body
of the prominent citizens of the coun-
try should carry with them much
weight, aud the Congress of the United
States will not be likely to pass light
ly by the petitions of SO large and in
fluential an assembly, made up of the
representatives BOf every important
commercial and business interest.
There was general good feeling when
the convention adjourned yesterday,
and happy disposition to thank every
one who in any way had to do with the
convention. The closing remarks of
President Fillmore, from whose decis-
ions the convention has never once toll
Grated an appeal during the entire ses-
|'sion,2 were heard with tho deepest in
terest, and roundly applauded as'the
FcOIcluding sentence passed the lips OF
the aged statesman. Mr.. Fillmore said
in the course of his remarks: ~ retire
| from public labor with the close of our
business to-dny.". iF,s. Ii

OBITUARY.

Z
;D1Ep at Plaisance, on the SOth Of
September, 1869, Miss EMMA VII
LAIN, daughter of N. VILLAIN, in the
3Oth year Of her age.
No words of ours could express the
grief we feel in making the sad an
nouncement we pen to-day, and would
that the tears we shed in writing it
might revive from the clay the form of
her who has descended into it, amid
the sorrow of 80 many friends "wl,o
had known her but to love her, and
named her but to praise" Many will
read it with tears -many who knew
her from her childhood until she
breathed her last, and among those
who will, there are few whose hearts
will not be raised to Heaven, not in
duplication for the soul Of the loved
one departed, but to implore the pray
ers of one whom we feel confident is
already Saint enjoying, in the bosom
of COP, glorious Immortality Ian in
effable bliss, that viii never know
change or; diminution. iT}i4-fxl
Seldom, perhaps, has Con, in His
all-seeing wisdom, seen fit to With
draw from the earth a purer, a nobler
OF more guileless sOul--one unalloyed
with any faint of meanness or selfish
ness. Would that many such lives
had been led on earth; would that in
health there were so much goodness,
and in sickness SO much unrepinipg
resignation, SO much christian hope,
SO much of the Savior-like spirit OF
suffering, that made her bed Of Attic
ton couch of roses, and tie room in
which the meek sufferer died, a temple
in which Angels may congregate, I'M
seen, and into which spiritsfrom Heav-
en- may descend to minister. It was a
bedside to which the unbeliever might
have been called, in order to see how
a christian could die. There, as the
last sands Of her numbered hours were
fast approaching, her dying eyes be-
held the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of
fered up before her; there, too, he,
fervent applications for her afflicted
father were granted, for beside hel
dear cherished form he knelt, and with
an humble and resigned spirit, he par.
took Of the I" Bread Of Angels" Hel
own pure soul strengthened and con.
soled by the reception of the Holy vi
aticum, feeling that all was consum.
mated, she calmly called her father
and told him she was dying, and in I
moment her meek spirit sped on thu
wings Of Love to the arms of her Di
vine Savior. Oh! who could witness
such death scene, or who can reat
these lines without exclaiming, will

to that with an intrepidity and a
recklessness that was astonishing.
And it would fill any one with add
miration to see how he preserved
his self-possession in the presence
of barley sack.
This daredevil bravery will be
the death of this horse some day.
He is not particularly fast, but I
think he will get me through the
holy Land. He has only one fault;
his tail has been chopped off, or he
has sat down on it too hard some
time or other, and has to fight the
Sizes with his heels. This is all
very well; but when he tries to
kick a fly from off the top Of his
head with his hind foot, it is too
much variety. He is going to get
himself into trouble that way some
day. He reaches around and bites
my legs too. I do not care partic-
ularly about that, only I do not
like to see a horse too sociable.
1 think the owner of this prize
had a wrong opinion about him.
He had an idea he was one of those

~ All! this beautiful world! I
know not what to think of it.. Some
times it is all sunshine and gladness,
and heaven itself lies not far off, and
then it is suddenly changed, and is
dark and sorrowful and the clouds
shut out the day. In the lives of the
saddest of us there are bright days like
this when we feel as if we could take
the great world in arms. Then come
gloomy hours, when the fire will not
burn ON our hearths, and all within
and without is dismal, cold and dark.
Believe me, every heart has its secret
sorrow, which the world knows not,
and ofttimes calls a man cold when he
is only sad Longfenow.

CHECK YOUR COTTON!!
USE THE "ODELL COTTON CHECK. ,,

And you will not lose in weight only from
natural causes. You will always get your
own cotton for it cannot be exchanged, and
you run NO risk of getting light bale for
your heavy one; nor Low Ordinary for Good
Mldding Cotton. By the use Of this check
you give your merchant a KEY TO ALI.
ERR ORS-they are discovered at once and
rectfied be fore loss is sustained. 1t gives
your merchant a voucher to correctness very
satisfactory to him, and you will know who is
to blame in case of losses. 1t will relieve
him from blame for another mans mistake
Use the "ODELL COTTON CHECK,p
and your merchant will RETURN 1T OR KEE,
1T FOR YOU to corroborate his account sales
and the steamboat clerk can point yonr cotton
out, even if all marks from the heads OF bales
are gone. 1t caves steambo atmen much time,
much money and trouble. In using the
"ODELL CorToN Check mark a simple letter
or any usual mark on the head of the balefor
convenience, and if hundreds of bales are
marked exactly like your cotton and the
same boat, no one can have ANY NUMBER
LIKE YOURS, there are no two checks
alike.
This check is made of brass-is about the
size of a Mexican dollar. aud is complete
fastening or lock around the tie-it costs only
Is cents, and will last the planter, merchant or
cottou dealer many years. 1t is approved by
all planters and cotton dealers who have seen
it.
Checks can be ordered through all country
merchants, any Commission House or my
