MELOY.-Died. at the residence OF his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Gurley, in this place on Sunday last,
PATRICK MELOY, aged 9S years.
Mr. Meloy was born in DoncPaI County, Ire
land, and emigrated TO the United States in
death. He Il shoemaker by trade and
worked steadily NJ the business unil the iuGr-
mites OF ola age compelled him to rCiiHQuish
his labOrs. He was an upright. Christ ian man
ed the respect and good will of the community.
His patriarchaI age indicated the temperate
and unruiiled current of his life iii this world,
and his death. we hope, was but the prelude to
better world. He lived a. peace with the world
aud died at peace with his God, and one
who kffew him viii farhear wish or u prayer
for his souls sake. a new made grave in the
Catholic cemetery in this place contains all that
was mortal OF one OF the Oldest citizens Of our
county. and there may they rest until the final
summons shall call them to Tehabilitate the
undying spirit which we trust has been Vouch-
sRfed q mercjfu Judgment at the hands OF its
Ornnipotent Creator.
morning last, JOHN ANDREW, infant son of II.
A. and Annie W. McPike, aged weeks and
days.
Just under the snow, in the churchyard cold,
a little new grave in the earth's gray mould
Has been fashioned, and within its embrace
Is hidden away our darling sweet face;
No PRAYER was needed 20 hallow the spot,
Forsas his soul was pure, without biemish or
blot,
He hsfs entered the mansions of blissful delight
And there, let us all hope, when death calls us
away,
We may live with our darling forever and aye.

THE PoPuLAR LIFE Or GEN. LEF.--We have
already noted the fact hat Mr. 81 r. Meagher
has taken the agency for this and other works
published 10y Messrs. John Murphy & Co,
Baltimore, and desire nov specially t. say that
this volume, like ali Others issUed from that
great publishing house, is one of the most ele-
CANT AMI handsomely gotten up works We have
ever seen. We are no apologist for the mis-
taken course pursued by Gen Lee in the late
civil war, but believe him to have been honest
in his purpose, and having come OF noble stock
and of undouSted bravery. moral worth and
rare Christian Impulses, we esteem his bi0gra-
phy worthy OF general perusal. and as such
commend il to all who admire the man for his
great personal virtues and are willing to throw
the mantle OF charity over his political errors.
