In this county, on Cane Creek, Monday,
21st inst, Of cancer, Mrs. EMELINE h.
GEORGE, wife of Needham George, aged
So years.
In this county, on Cane Greek, Monday,
21st inst, Of consumption, Miss MARY
GOWEN, daughter of VIM. Gowen, aged
22 years.
Another lovely flower has fallen prey to
the whitening hand of death, 10 more to
unfold its fragrance on earth. Died in this
county on Tuesday, the 10th inst, after an
illness Of six weeks, MARTHA JANE, daugh-
ter of Vim. G. and Mary l.. Seaton, aged
seven years, minus ID days. We deeply
sympathise with the discmsolate parents in
their sad bereavement, but there is solid
peace in the reflection that this is Martha's
eternal gain.
She hath gone in her youthful gladness,
To mingle with the dead;
She hath left us to mourn in sadness,
The spirit early fed.
Life with her was joyous dream,
But strangelyit has past;
Like the crimson dye of asunset beam,
Twas bright but could not last.
Lingering around her like spell,
Was beauty strange and deep;
But the full-toned voice Of the tolling bell,
Hath taught us how to weep.
Yet while we weep, awhispered tone,
Is borne on the breath of even;
II bids us be glad that the loved hath gone,
To welcome us to Heaven.
Then mourn not for the spirit carly fed,
For hers is happy lot;
had rather be the remembered dead,
Than live by all forgot.

B Mr.. John Markum, pro-
prietor of the Elk River Mills near
this place, was murdered near Me-
ridianviiie, Ala on Thursday Inst,
18th inst. He was at the supper
table at Mr.. Park Townsend's,
when the open window was ap.
preached by an unknown person,
and load of buck-shot discharged
from shotgun into his lett breast,
causing almost instant death. Mrs.
Townsend, who was at the same
table, narrowly escaped, as the
charge passed very near her head.
Mr.. Markum was in the act of
placing food in his mouth, and his
left hand was thus shot through.
The murderers approached the
house through the garden, from
the fence Of which three. palings
had been wrenched, to enable them
to escape. They ought to be ar
rested. We know nothing of the
provocation to the deed--it may
have been great, or none at all
we would to day only urge the
fact that if such excuses are toll
Grated, no mans lille or property
is safe. Our own safety demands
tina. life should be held sacred,
and all who wantonly destroy it,
should be visited with tie penal
ty due to their crime.

Debility and Emaciation

Both result from the lack of ability TO con

alarming symptoms D Immediately resort
to remedy that will strengthen the stom-
ach and digestive organs. For, as soon as
this desirable object has been accomplished
the health improves, and the patient re-
sumes his usual personal appearance. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters have attained a
worldwide popularity in such cases, and
have been proven the best and safest means
of removing constipation, toning the stom-
ach, giving energy to the liver, and reliev-
ing every symptom of nervousness and de-
preston of spirits. Its cheering and bene-
fetal effects are highly spoken of by thou
sands, who owe to it their restoration to
health. No restorative in the annals of
medicine has attained the same popularity
in the short space Of time it has been before
the public, or has won the high endorse

Many other preparations, purportingto be
correctives and restoratives have been in.

Fatal ARRAY.

A very desperate affair occurred
at Arnold's old grocery, on Tuck
ter's Creek, in this county, Oh
Thursday last. The circumstan
ces as communicated to us ART
substantially as follows: A man
named Dotson, it seems, had par.
led from his wife about 8 years
ago, and she had since been re.
ceiying the attention of a young
man. Early last week, Dotson
and the young man met at a re-
vival at Shady Grove, when an
alteration took place between
them, in which one McCrary vol
unteered part against Dotson.
A day or so later McCrary and
Dotson accidently met, when the
former drew a pistol and made
the latter get on his knees and
beg for his life. On Thursday last
McCrary went to the house of
Mr.. Peck, where Dotson was
boarding, entered the door, and
passed through to a rear room.
Dotson, seeing him coming closed
the inner door; M. pushed it open,
drew repeater and fired, wound
ing D. at the inner corner of the
right eye, and again above the
same eye, the shock causing him
to fall to his knees. Wiping the
blood away that was binding him,
the wounded man drew a pistol
and fred, striking M. in the up.
per part of the abdomen, who then
retreated to the yard where D..
shot him again, and still again as
be climbed the fence to escape -
When Dotson fired the last time
his brains were oozing from his
wounds. and he fell and died very
soon. Of McCrary's three wounds,
the one in the abdomen is the Sc.
verest and will, probably, prove
fatal. The parties were not un-
der the influence of liquor-it was
a sober fight. Such are the cir
cumstances detailed 70 US by a re-
liable gentleman from the neigh
borhood.

w. Another good man
has fallen. James b. Hud-
son, Esq. died at his resi-
dcnce in the vicinity of Oak
Hill, of palsy, on Saturday
last, aged II years. He was a
consistent christian, having long
been an elder in the c. p.
Church, a thoughtful, consider
ate neighbor, an indulgent and
kind husband and father, and a
good citizen in all the relations
of life. His death has created
a vacancy that, cannot be filled
We knew him many years, and
think he possessed in a marked
degree the virtues that adorn bu
man nature.

The feature OF the village, and

scene has missed rare treat. The
building as a whole, is as well e.
dapted to school purposes, as any
structure we have ever seen; and
workmen are still employed upon
it. Each department has room
specially appropriated to its uses,
supplied with books and appara-
tus necessary to elucidate the
branch there taught. We noticed
a well supplied laboratory, chemi-
cal, philosophical ard astronomical
apparatus, o piano and cabinet
organ, and other articles necessa-
ry to equip first.class school

is no reason why its capacity for
educational purposes should not be
tested to the uttermost.
