gies seen in our streets and on our turn
pixies. Indeed, so great was the passion
for buggies, that DIR. Southern once pro-
posed to get up "Buggy' Company to

prising, therefore, that our livery stables
are patronized very literally For sew
eral years past we have had three, land
at one time four,) livery stables in our
town. A new firm, Cboate & Lipscomb,
are now asking the patronage ofthe pub
lie, and their advertisement Will be

rented the stables formerly occupied by

entire new outfit. These young gentle
men were raised ION horses, and know
a good horse when they see him. Ben.
Lipscomb is son of Major George Lips
comb, one of the best farmers in the
county, and who keeps the very best

DEB.


In Columbia, ON Friday, the 18th inst, DAVID
Thomas, aged "a years and months. IS
Was it q dream-some vision of the night
that whispered, Uncle Davy has flown to hap
pier realms as a saint so bright? Oh! no, It's
a sad reality. Uncle Davy is dead. Dark and
lowering clouds hive hidden the smiling face of
the sun; the Angel of Death hath thrown his
gloomy shadow over us, changing life's bright
est spring of joy into fountains of deepest sor-
row; and though the brighter ones of hope
and faith are lowering near, they cannot hush
the wall of the desolate hearts who mourn their
dead.
II often happens, after death, persons good
qualities are greatly exaggerated, and even if
disliked when living, dead virtues are extolled
which all know they never possessed. Oh?
how different is the case now! can my feeble
pen ever transfer to paper the feelings of love
and sorrow which are struggling for utterance
in my heart No, can never do justice to the
bright virtues OF the one whom we have lost, for
l know not in which one lay the nameIess
charms that bound our hearts to him. Wher-
ever he went there fingered a struggling gleam
OF the bright sunshine he always carried with
him. Although we shall miss the dear form,
the glad smile of welcome, the clinging press
ure OF the dear old hands, cannot grieve for
him, for he has gone to brighter land, where
cold winds cannot chill, nor storms assai.
N'oa hin " 10 lOt ulic, tuCu Cdltsu
him back to his glorious home. But his spirit
hovers over Us, bringing comfort to our aching
hearts, turning our tears of sadness into Joy at
his release from pam. Yes, dear Uncle Davy
has gone-his spirit IL free-it has burst asun-
der Its prison-house of clay, and is now bask-
ing in the sunlight of the smile of Jesus.
Weary. days-yes, years-may pass before we
meet again but if we walk in the path of light
and truth, We will meet once more We shall
till then, dear Uncle Davy SAY Farewell."
