DIED on the 9th instant, after q short
but painful illness, Miss MARIAN i.
MOORE, aged % years.
The subject Of the above is worthy
of more than passing notice at our
hands. Although she had lived among
us comparatively short time, yet by
her uniform kindness and lady like de-
pertinent she won all Of our hearts.
She taught our school for 4 number
of terms to the entire satisfaction OF
all. She iuled her pupils by love and
kindness. She was faithful and true
80 gentle, so kind, SO loving. Thou
hast left us dear friend; no more wilt
thou greet us with thy beautiful
loving smiles. But that which is, oul
lossis her eternal gain.
She gave unInistalsabie evidence o.
her trust in the blessed Rcdeomer, and
expressed her entire Willingness to de.
part aud dwell with Him forever
When she knew that she must 500,
cross the Jordan of death, She callet
her father and mother, brothers an,
sisters around her bed, prayed viii
and for them, and then sang the follow
ing touching and beautiful lines:
"Oh, how sweet il VIII be III
In that beautiful land,
so free from oil sorrow and pain,
With sotes On our lips
Il And with harps IN our hands,
To meet one anotheragain."

EDtroRs CouRrER: In accordance
with . previous announcement, the
Patrons Of Husbardry In this vicinity
held celebration on the Fourth, at
Wiger's Grove, eight miles east nom
Ottumwa. The day was propitious,
and at an early hour, there were assem-
blcd not less than one thousand per-
sons, representing six Oranges and
one sabbath school; besides numbers
unconncctcd with either, but al farm
e,s. There were ample provisions for
the accommodation Of the multitude,
in the way Of seats, and An excellent
collation. furnished by the ladies Of
Bladensburg, in which all were invit-
ed to partake, for the reasonable
amount Of twenty-five cents each. The
speakers stand was handsomely deco
rated with flags and festooned with
flowers, and numerous vases of them
shed their fragrance around, Is il usu-
al on the GLORIOUS Fourth.
Tho exercises were commenced by
the reading of the Declaration, by
Capt. Kitterman, The people were
addressed by ]. W. Hedrick, J. N.
Peck, J. M. Randall and Capt. Kittcr-
man. Being urgently requested, Mrs.
E. J. Ives read . printed address on
the "Origin and objects of the Patrons
of Husbandry." The irreprcssible Rev.
Uriah Long, SO well known to our cit
izcns, being present and an atten-
tive listener, was requested to give his
views, which being done in his peculi-
ar manner, were received with three
cheers. The music for the occasion
was furnished by tho clear well train
ed voices of q choir Of farmers sons
and daughters from the vicinity. The
addresses were by farmers, and alto
gether 1t was farmers gathering, and
as such, was successful one. At
81 o'clock the meeting was formally
dismissed, and after many many hand
shakings, and spoken good byesn the
people departed to their homes, pleas-
ed with what they had heard and seen,
with each other and themselves. There
had been none Of the usual "pomp and
circumstance that has heretofore rem
dered celebrations 80 wearisome, but
all passed off quietly, socially and for
the Improvement of all.
MoRAL.-This celebration, has prov
ed beyond q doubt that the agricultu-
raj public have within themselves the
elements Of as high mental attainmcnts
and warm social qualities, as can be
found elsewhere, if cultivated. The
necessary conditions for this the order
ofthe Patrons of Husbandry promises
to fulfill, and the organization Of
Oranges in this county one year ago,
has achieved vastly more in that di-
rection, than The most sanguiue. had
dared to hope. e.
