Rev. las. G.. Mason.

On last Thursday the 18th inst, a meet.
ing OF the congregation of the Presbyte.
ran Church was called by the Session
and Pastor to consider the resignation OF
the latter. Rev. Jas. G. Mason. Some
time IN last November, we are informed,
Mr. Mason had signified his intention OF
resigning the pastorate of his Church.
AT the meeting on the 18th inst, he gave
some reasons for rendering his resigna-
tion. The chief of which was the state
OF things that resulted from a fruitless at
tempt to unite the two branches of the
Presbyterian Church in this place. Up
to the time of November, several at
tempts had been made to unite the
Churches. Mr.. Mason and his Church
being connected with the Reunited Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America.
it was proposed hat the two Churches
unite and let the majority of the men,
bers determine whether the Church
hould continue in its present connection,
or join the Southern Assembly. Mr..
Mason urged this and the Church accept
ed it, believing that maj orities should IuIe
In such matters. The proposition was re-
jected by the Southern Church.
Some of MIR. Masou's members express
ed a Willingness to go further in order to
affect a MO 1t was proposed. there
fore, to sever the Church from its con
nection with the National Assembly, and
form an Independent Church. MIR. Ma
son, while he favored union, earnestly op-
posed this proposition, alleging that such
a course was not justifiable. On the sup
position that those who favored the last
proposition, in attempting to carry it out,
ignored his passionate, Mr.. Mason, without
judging of their intentions in this res
pect, felt called upon to resign. His res
ignation, subject to the decision of Pres
bytery, was accordingly rendered to the
congregation on the 18th INST. a vote
was taken by ballot which resulted i'm sus-
tanning Mr.. Mason by a refusal to accept
his resignation.
We are not informed as to what Mr..
Mason intends to do in the premises, but
we shall be slow in giving him up. He
has been 4 faithful pastor, an earnest
worker and an exemplary Christian gen.
tleman. He has done 4 good work for the
town. His Church has enjoyed great
prosperity under his Passionate. During
the five years of his stay here, he has, we
are told, received 1G2 additions to the
Church which has enjoyed two extern
sive r~eviva!s in the meantime.
Mr. Mason took a prominent part in
the organization of our free schools three
years ago. O~urpeople will long remem-
Der his services in that %eventful struggle.
He has been one of our ablest advocates
of Common Schools In public and pri-
vate his voice has been raised in their de-
fence. For this. and because lie is a scholar,
a gentleman and a Christian we feel like
saying so much on the present occasion.

associations connected with its venerable

County are becoming enthusiastic, and
Will no doubt have many nice and valua-
BILE articles to exhibit. The gentlemen
are already selecting their best stock, and
making arrangements to have them in
good condition. They have also been
very careful in planting their potatoes
and other vegetables in the very best man
ner, that they may have the largest and
best at the Fair. 1t is encouraging to
see our people at work with such energy.
Should We be favored witha good season,
We venture the assertion now, that our
county Will no: be in the same condition
next spring as this. Instead of haying
to go to other counties tor grain, hay,
potatoes and other articles, as many of
our citizens had to do this spring, we will
have plenty for home consumption and
also plenty to sell.

A Valuable Citizen Gone.

1t is with peculiar sensations of sorrow
that we chronicle the death of Ebenczer
Barkly, Esq (which occurred last Saturday
at his residence i'll Leesburg. Mr.. Barley
was a shock ripe for the harvest of eter-
nifty. a ge had frosted his temples and
enfeebled his body. At the time of his
death. he was e~ighty-one years of age and
had been a resident of LIE. sburg for
seventy years of this time. He attained
this advanced period through a life of
sobriety, energy and a strictly moral de-
pertinent. and died enjoying the conf
dence, esteem and reverence of the.entire
community which was a:tested by the
large c%oncourse that followed his ~life-less
body to its final resting place. Pure
hearted, generous-souled, of inflexible
honesty o fpurpose and action, of the kind
licst disposition and an example of strict
morality worthy of imitation, his death
is a loss to the world that the fewest
number can aspire to supply. In fact.
his traits of character were a model OF
moral excellencies which every mar
should closely study and enIeavor to
attain the full and glorious measure of
their goodness and purity. To the fam
ily. who have lost an affectionate father
and a devoted husband, we tender the
deepest sympathies that death can in
spire.
Rev. Matney visited him often, prayed,
and talked with him, concerning his
of Heaven. He told him If 1t
was the Lords will to remove him from
his bed of atfiiction hat he was willing
to 90. for this world had no charms for
him and feItthat he would be far better off
vvben his DAYS we're numbered on earth.
