Funeral Services of Rev. T. S.
BOineSt.

OOlllSSts
Rev. 7. S. Boinest gently fell
asleep in Jesus, on tho night Of
the Sd inst, after a painful and
protracted illness; aged forty
three years and eight months.
At an early hour on tho 9TH, the
citizens Of the vicinity Of Pomaria,
began to assemble to attend the
funeral services of their lamented
friend and pastor; and at the hour
appointed for burial, there had
collected from sixty miles apart
tho largest congregation ever as
sembled at Bethlehem church.
Seven ministers Of the s. G. Synod
were present, and all took part
in the solemn exercises Of burial.
An open column was formed in
front Of the church by the vast
crowd CT mourners, aud the corpse
was carried into the church by
Revs. J. d. Shirey, J. II. W.Wertz.
J. Hawkins, y. Derrick, J. A.
SIigh and II. S. Wingard, headed
by Rev. E. \, BoIles. X solemn
dirse was played upon the organ
as the procession moved up the
aisle. The services in the altar
were opened by Rev. ?. Derrick,
reading the 39th Psalm. Rev. II.
S. Wingard repeated tho Lords
Prayer after which Rev. J. y.
SIigh read Cor: Ky. Rev. J. D.
Shircy then read the solemn
prayer prescribed in the Liturgy.
This done, Rev. }. Il. ". Wertz
announced and repeated the 454th
hymn, which the choir sang. Rev.
}. Hawkins then rose and dcliv-
cred an address: in which he
skctchcd the useful iabors, the
prominent traits OF character, and
the type OF piety and style Of
preaching which distinguished his
dear departed brother, and re-
minded the sobbing audience Of
the moro than ordinary loss the
whole church and community had
sustained, in the death Of SO gifted
q minister and so prominent a Cit
izcn.
Rev. +. \. BolIcs followed with
some pathetic remarks, which
met y hearty echo in the hearts
Of all. The corpse was then car
ricd into the church yard and
opened to the view Of the weep
ing concourse. 4 column was
opened by the pail bearers, and
the immense assmb!age began to
file in: to take a las lingering
look at their.dc friend and pas,
tor, and pass on to give place to
others. First the family of the
deceased then the Sunday school;
then the congregation. And thus
for near half an hour, the living
stream passed by the cold, lifelcss
form Of our departed BROTHER
When all had passed the lid was
closed end that familiar form be-
meath WAS forever hidden from
our sight and soon it lay beneath
the clods of tac cemetery, near
the side Of the lamcntcd Schwartz
and Moser, Rev. L. \. Bolles read
ing the service in 8 beautiful and
solemn manner. Long, long vii!
the day be remembered by that
vast crowd OF mourning friends,
and long will be the day, wo fear,
until that community shall pro-
cure the services Of q minister
who can fill, in every particular,
the place Of Rev. T. S. Boinest.

1t is q pleasing fact that women
are awakening to a just sense ct
the cruelty with which their fall
en- sisters have been prccIuded
from recovery, by the rigor Of
thsir prescription, and the depths
of social infamy to which they
have been consigned. 1t is in
deed necessary that virtue and IN
nocence should not be exposed to
contagion, but the worst depravlty
of women Of the town comes from
their irreclaimable state, from
their consciousness that the cdict
cf the world has been pronounced
against them, without appeal or
pardon, and irrespective of all
differences as to circumstances or
condition. When this incxorablc
sentence shall have been relaxed.
half the work of reform is accom-
plished: for We do not believe wo-
men so fallen as t0 be wholly des-
titutc Of better instincts, and leave
to throw off their burdens is ssomc-
thing in moral progress.

CHILE BuRNING.-One Of the
most brutal outrages that it has
ever been cur lot to chronicle, was
committed on the plantation OF
Mr.. Knox Pickett, in this County.
on the 30th uit. 1t seems that
kosum Pickett, q negro, quit his
wife, some time ago, and during
his absence she gave birth to a
child. lie remained away, we
suppose, about two years. On his
return, he and his wife had a quar-
rel about the child he becoming
enragcd, gave the child an unmer-
ciful whipping, after which he held
it over the fire until its back and
legs were burned to crisp. The
child lived about six days. The
murderer was arrested by some
colorcd men, but escaped, and is
now at large. This is the most
inhuman outrage that has ever oc-
Cured in this County.
