OBITUARY.

DEPARTED this life on the 26th of May,
1871, Mrs. FANNIE LEONORA HORTON,
wife of DR.. o. r. Horton, and daughter of
Israel Charles She was born the 31st of May,
1S41, and was married the 31st of May, 1866.
When married, she removed to Abbeville
County, near Cokesbury, where her husband
had been for some time practiclng medicine.
In a month or two after her marriage, she made
q profession of religion, and united herself to
the Walnut Grove Baptist Church. In the
prosperity of the Church she felt the most
abiding interest, and in word and action did all
she could for the cause of Jesus. None who
were associated with her ever for one moment
doubted the truth of her Christianity. "a tree
is known by its fruit" and such was the devo-
ton and obedience Of her life to the commands
of God that all felt assured that her reward was
il Heaven Though naturally of q timid and
withdrawing disposition, yet by her amiability,
her sincerity, and her general loveliness OF
character, she soon gathered around her alarge
circle of friends, who continued to admire and
love her the more they knew of her. During
last winter she removed with her husband to
Bolton and united with the Baptist Church at
that place. For some time previous to her
ton that her departure was near at hand. She
therefore, often spoke Of it, and always express.
ed her perfect resignation, if it was the VIII OF
God to cali her away. To those who survive
her she has given every assurance that her
passing spirit gently fled, sustained by grace
divine,' to tho Christians home in glory. Du-
ring her last severe illness, not murmuring
word escaped her, and on the 18th day of May,
1871, she calmly fell asleep in Jesus-'that
sleep from which none ever wake to weep"
On the following day she was buried in the
graveyard Mt the Baptist Church at Bolton.
The last solemn rites to the memory Of the de-
parted wero performed in the midst of largo
circle of afflicted relatives and friends. She
leaves kind husband and two sweet children,
with large family circle to mourn her depar-
ture. Deep as is the grief this affiction brings,
they are the subjects of that sweet admonition,
"Wcep not as those who have no hope; for If
we believe Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring
with Him. PASTOR

"a MAN SHOT WHILE PLAYING PANTHER. =
A correspondent of the Clarksburg West
Virginia) Conservative, writing on the 18th in
stant, says:
A fatal accident happened on Leading creek,
last week, which is sad warning to those who
are in the habit of playing jokes on children.
A Captain Ford, of Barbour county, happened
near Mr.. Jesse Hornetts home with q panther
skin, and seeing q little boy, about twelve or
fourteen years Of age, son Of Mr.. Hornet in
a skirt of woods near the house; donned the
skin with the intention of frightening the lit
tie fellow, but as soon as the boy saw what he
supposed to be panther, he ran to the house
and took down his fathers rife, and went in
pursuit of the panther. He did not have to 60
far before he espied him. The boy rested the
rifle on a fence and fred. The man-panther
gave dying shrek, and with convulsiye COZ
spasm fell over mortally wounded. The little
fellow did not sec his mistake until he went up
to the wounded man. Ford fingered two days
and then died.

Dedication of the colored Baptist Church


+ On Sunday last, the Baptist Church, recently
erected by the colored people of this town, was
formally dedicated to the worship of Almighty
God. 2 The dedication sermon was delivered BY
Rev,,J. S. Murray, who was assisted in the
services by two colored ministers, Rev. Ga
briel Pool, of Greenville, and Rev. Frank
Morfis, of this place. Mr.. Murray's sermon
was an able and satisfactory explanation OF the
character of the church founded by our sa-
viour and the duty of those protesting Tie
faith as it is in Christ. His language was
plain and forcible, adapted to the audience and
the occasion. In his preliminary remarks, he
alluded to the Babylonish captivity of the
Jews, who, upon their release after seventy
years of bondage, began the re-erection of the
temple at Jerusalem to the Most High God.
After many years Of bondage, the like deliver
ance had been vouchsafed to the members of
this church, who had likewise erected build
ing for the worship of the true and living God,
and the lesson was impressed upon them not
to initiate the Jews in their later conduct by
falling away from the good work, but to per-
severe.in this earnest effort to serve and obey
their Divine Master, that themselves and their
posterity might be blessed in all future gener-
ations. he then entered upon regular dis
course from the text, to be found in the third
chapter of Paul's Epistle to Timothy, latter
clause of the 10Th verss-"whieh is the church
of the living God, the pillar and the ground of
truth" AS we have said, it was an able,
practical sermon, impressively delivered, and
it was listened to with deep attention by the
large congregation assembled, among whom
was quite number of white persons, who were
present by invitation.
At the close of the services, a collection was
taken up to complete the payment for the
building. We understand that the entire cost
is about $500, of which some 5000 remains un-
paid. The erection of this church does credit
to the congregation. 1t is neatly constructed,
we'll arranged in the Interior and quite hand
somcly finished and furnished, having comfor-
table seats, the aisles carpeted, and a pulpit
admirably fittedup We trust that the amount
yet due will be speedily contributed, and that
the ministrations of the Word in this new
temple may rebound to the good of the colored
people and to the glory of she only true and
living God over all.

THE QUESTION OF ELEorINe ALDERMEN
and Assistant Aldermen at the coming cleo
ton 10 yet to be decided, Judge Barnard hav-
ing issued a peremptory mandamus to Cor
nelius Corson, Chief Of the Bureau of Elec-
tions, TO show cause to-day why boxes should
not be provided for the reception Of ballots for
Aldermen at the regular polling places on
Tuesday. The Committee of Seventy have
made their nominations, but Tammany has not
done 80 yet. The trouble lies altogether in
a question Of the consttutionality of the law
extending the term Of the present Aldermen
until 1873. The Mayor has ordered the requi-
site ballot boxes to be opened at the various
polling places, though he does not surrender
his opinion that the law extending The term is
constitutional.

EMANcIPArIoN IN BRAzIL.-The Bra
lillian Emancipation bill is specially re-
ported in the HERALD to-day. Our cor
respondent in Rio Janeiro supplies the
complete text of the new charter Of freedom,
besides describing the scenes which took place
during the moments OF its enactment by the
Legislature and Of the first reception Of the
news by the people. It will be seen from our
letter that the law frees all the slaves chill
dren born on or after September 20, 1871, but
subjects them to unpaid service for their labor
until they attain twenty lone years Of age. It
will effect annual emancipations Of 5000 to
10, 900 Of the existing slaves; It allows them
to acquire property by inheritance or gift, but
the power to effect savings from the result OF
the slaves extra work is made dependent on
the owners consent concession to the
oppositionist cutlery. On the other hand,
the bill frees 1850 national slaves. 1t es-
tablishes the right of self.redemption, de-
spite the owners resistance. and by the prin-
ciple OF free birth confines the existence OF
slavery within the limits OF generation. No
provision Is made for the education Of the free
born children Of slaves.

Mn. HoorsK, THE DELEaArR FROM UrAH'
now on visit to Washington to interoede for
the Mormons, gave his Views very candidly on
the unfortunate imbroglio in Salt Lake City
yesterday to HERALD correspondent he
thinks that polygamy will perish Of Its own
volition, that no young Mormons will practice
it, and thinks the best solution Of the problem
just now Is to Iegitimatize the present Mormon
marriages and admit the Territory to the
Union as State on condition that poygamy
be forever henceforward discarded. This
seems to be Brighsm's most promising solu-
tom but the trouble lies la the idea that It
may not be intended in go cd faith. After the
Territory has become State Congress can
not Interfere with its social institutions, and
the moral sense Of the community, determined
on the extinction OF this last relic of barbar-
ism, has not enough confidence in Brigham
Young and his leaders to trust to their good
faith in the matter.

Briskam Young and the Hermens-A 8
Domipg0 Project.

Briskam Young and the Mermens-A Sc.
Domisgo Project.
We understand that there is q speculative
movement afoot for the removal of Brigham
Young and his polygamous Mormons to the
island Of st. Domingo; that there is party
from Holland now in this city seeking to reach
Brigham through his representative man, and
that they claim to be in possession of all the
authority necessary to complete the transfer
Of the island, or that division Of it known as
the republic of Dominica, if the high contract
ing parties can come to an agreement on the
subject. To take the place of the Mormons in
Utah, it is said, this party from Holland are
prepared to bring in lot Of industrious Euro
peans who believe in the one wife principle.
So many parties, however, SO many con-
ditions and so many difficulties are to be con-
sidered in this scheme that we fear it must be
dismissed as impra cticable.
The Mormon prophet and patriarch, on the
other hand, as 1t appears, has compromise
to offer which is much more to the point and
the purpose. He proposes to abandon po-
lygamy as condition precedent to the adms-
sion of Utah as q State into the Union. The
Territory has population enough-ninety
thousand Mormons aud thousand or
two Gentiles--and why, then, with the
condition precedent suggested. may not
Utah be admitted as a State? The main
objection to this solution is that it would
cover the great object Of Brigham, which is to
be relieved Of the local jurisdiction of Con-
gress. He tried the experiment of admission
of State, with the constitution Of 'sDeseret, !"
after he and his community had been only a
year or two in the Territory. He sawss
knows that under the constitution OF the
United States there is nothing to prevent the
establishment of polygamy by State, and Sc
if he is given State government he will know
what to do with it, He would probably snap
his finger at the condition extorted from him
touching polygamy, and on the question
of State rights Congress would probably be
afraid to interfere with him.
We expect shorter settlement from Gen
eral Grant; and 10 this connection we would
again call the attention of the Lower Cali
fornia Land Company, Of this city, to the
opportunity for settling their domains with the
industrious Mormons. From Great Salt Lake
down to Lower California the journey over
the healthy plains is only some six or seven
hundred miles, aud for two or three hundred
miles of the route the Mormons have their set
Elements from point to point Thus the whole
Mormon polygamous community-men,w women
and children-with their movables, horses,
cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and
turkeys, everything, could be transferred by
easy stages to the peninsula Of Lower Cali
fornia. Has Mr.. George Wilkes, in behalf Of
said land company, nothing to say upon the
auhiact2
