Kerosene Lamp in his bed room, in the
Ryan Hotel. The Aamesinstantly flashed
over tho room and soon caught the mus
quito bar and bedding, and had it not
been, for his presence of mind, and
prompt sad persistent personal exertions
in mbdning the,tlames, avery extensive

suit. Capt. B., we regret 10 announce,
had his hands burned very severely, and

OBITUARY

Blessed are the dead that die m the Lord'
This essimahle Christian lady, Mrs
ELIZABETH J. JOHNSTON, died at
Elko. S. c.. Railroad, on the 24th OF May,
after long and painful atfliction, which
she bore without a murInur, in the forty
first year Of her age.
Sister Johnston was indeed 1--we
Christian, and, as Mary of old, in early
life. had attained the one thing needful.
She was u native of Edgetield, s. G and
first united with the Dry Creek Baptist
church but on removing, with her hus-
band, to Barnwell, S. c., she became r
member Of the Rosemary church, where
she remained Jealous and useful SER
want of Jesus until God, in the wise dis
pensations OF His providence. saw tit to
remove her from earth to that better
country beyond the skies. Few lives
were SO crowned with goodness, and so
cluatered with fruits OF true CHRISTIAN
piety, as our dear Sister Johnstohs. IL
NAV in truth be said, for her to live was
Christ. and to die was gain. In the
death of this noble woman, the commu-
nity has lost u valuable citizen her
church has lost bright light; and her
dear companion and children have lost
the great centre and beauty of homo;
for as wife, none were more kind ana
affectionate, and rs mother, she was
trie to her trust. But let us not weep or
complain at this stroke, for God Almlgh-
ty doeth all things well, and she has only
left us to live i'll heaven, and to ENJOY
that sweet rest that remains for the peo-
nile of God. Oh! let us, with Christian
resionation, look to Jesus and say, All
things york together for good, &c.
The humble writer Of this obituary
must say that in all his visits to the sick
and diving, he never witnessed more per-
feet and complete triumph OF faith. Even
at the portals of death she calmly said,
T am ready to 30 with Christ. Mrs. john
