OBITUARY.

Died, in Washington city, on the goth inst,
KATE NJ, wife of ROBERT A. GOLDEN and only
daughter of Rev. W. |. CIILEs, of this county,
aged 25 years.
Born at Wade Bay, Charles county, ofpious
parents-an only daughter-she was reared in
all the instructions of religious life, and edu-
Gated to all the accomplishments of this. Her
youth was passed in home pleasures; she was
the idol of her parents and brothers, and all the
fond affections bestowed upon her were fondly
reciprocated. Her youthful associates were
bound to her by the strongest ties of love and
friendship, not one OF which were broken save
by death. And when grown to maturity, and
she took upon herself the duties of wife; when
the time came for her to separate from her early
associates, and leave the paternal roof, where
were so many endearing ties, she cheerfully and
lovingly took upon herself the new responsible
tiles And the best evidence that her married
life was as happy and joyful as that of her ear
ly youth is found in the fact that she could
"look back withoaAt sigh upon the moment aohen
she quilted forerer the guardians, the companions
and the scenes Of her childhood"' There may be
those whose loss cause wider sorrow, because
more widely known !; but there is not one who
knew her well but will heave deep sigh and
shed tear over the remains of one who "sought
to do good, and not evil, all the days OF her
life."
To the bereaved husband father, mother,

consolation in knowing there is peace
'sWhere Christians, who in union dwelt on
! earth,
Heirs of its mansion by celestial birth,
In blest society shall meet and blend
In love and fellowship that never end.
ooh twill be passing sweet to meet the friend
We loved on earth, and then together bend
Before the throne eternal, and rehearse

Died, on Saturday, July 10th, 1870, WILL
LIAM J. SCOTT, in the 2lst year of his age.
Although the cause and manner of his death
have been already announced, yet brief trib-
ute to his memory may surely be added without
appearance of ostentation. We know, indeed
that naught can restore the dead to life, but il
is fitting that we sometimes turn from scenes
of busy life and bestow a brief moment upon
those of death. How sad to realize that, in
the very dawn of manhood, with pulses bound
ing with health and joy, and hopes of promise
and when developing those manly, noble anC
!, generous impulses Of heart that rendered him
dear in life, and will be cherished with fond re-
membrance beyond the grave, the Destroyer
came without premonition or warning, anC
claimed his destined prize claimed him whose
short career was illustrative of much that il
good in human character and Of nothing tina
} marred it's goodness. His fidelity to any trus
, confded to him, his sterling integrity, hi
prompt performance of assigned duty, his al
most scrupulous sense of order and methot
were prominent traits of character. How touch
ingly and sadly true were the remarks of {
