l,lay Of June 1872, HORACE =. VIBDERT,
IA native Of New York, aged AZ years.
In the dispensation of a Divine
Wisdom, which is for the afflicted sol
! difficult, at first, to appreciate, it has|
pleased the Omnipotent, without a
moments warning, to take from on'|
Smidst, Mr.. Horace j. Vibbert, Drug
lgist Of st. Francisvi]le. We are I'm
liable to conceive Of any other calamity
(which might happen i'll our midst.
athat could, to the same degree, stari}e
lthc community as has this unfortu-
inate affair done.
| A kind and affectionate husband.
universally loved by every ono who
skncw him, benevolent to the poor--a
apoor man himself-rcticent of speech
Holding no political views, after al
sstraggle Of q life with poverty, and
siust as tho promise Of the future por-
blended plenty, in the twinl<ling Of an
sl,eye, he WIS shot dead in his own store
FIN the very presence Of his wife.
Mr. Vibbert, more than any man
\ we.lSnow, was OF 8 pleasant and ha1
Amonious disposition his character
swas unusually kind and benevolent !;
Sthis trait of his character predominant
led. We did not know or believe that
Che had an enemy i'll tho world. 70
1sucl q degree did the goodness of his
shoalt lead him, that he was often seen
from home attending the sick couch.
/ No hour Of the night was too late fo,
ahim to answer the call Of humanity,
a:,nd though poor himself never Let the
sgreea Of gain stille or preccde the
scall upon his charity. Now he is gone.
lWhon shall we see his like again :?
Many prayer has boon offered for
Ihim by the low]y poor who loved him
!best.
A man has arrived! i'll Ealc1gh, N. G. :.
swho represents himself just from tho
lJoliet Barracks Prison in Illinois. He
! was captured rs Confederate soldier
sncar Greensboro, in 1865. He gives
This name us Henry Bedford, and says|
he was Il member of Company II, 31st|
n. G. regiment, Clingman's brigade,
IHoke's division. He had been inI
prison seven years.
The most touching eulogy, and theE
most comprehensive, probably, w;,s
uttered at the gyaye Of Daniel Web
stcr at the close of tho funeral rites (
"a plain man, probably one of thes
neighbors Of the deceased, came for-E
ward, stood at tie grave, and saidl
with quiveIing lips: "Daniel Web
ster, the world will he lonesome with.
out YOU" Tho quality which won fo,E
Daniel Webster this touching euloess
is not his great and brilliant intellect,s
but his ncighborly kindness /
We clip the following article. rcl-E
.tive to a former citizen Of our par
lsh, from the Ascension Leaaer: /,
"Our friend, Mr.. Vim. A. Braable, +
who BECAME disgustod with singleE
olessedness, and united himself ins
he holy bonds OF matrimony, on theI
evening Of the 25th ult., has oulE
hanks for some wedding cake and an.s
invitation to his wedding. We 1egretH

ind if he is to have troubles, may !.
hey be little ones. {
