OBITUARY.

Died in Lancaster, Dallas County Texas,
January 22d, 1873, Mrs. Elenor, wife Of
william R. Moffett, in the 67ih year Of her
age.
"sho Is not dead, but sleepeth."
away. We are now CO lied upon to mourn
the loss Of q loving, pious and devoted
Christian, wife and mother.
The deceased was consistent, faithful
member Of the Prosby terian Church. It
was not only her aim to be q Christian
herself, but that all around her should be
christians also. Thosgh she is gone and
her seat left vacant, yet the light Of her
life is not covered by the sacred turf. The
blessed influence Of her holy life will shine
with radiance upon the memory Of surviv-
ing friends and relations. A bereaved
husband and weeping heart-broken chill
dren cherish her blessed memory. Her
health had been bad for several years, yet
she was never heard TO murmur or COM
plain, though her Affections we're long and
severe. She recognized the hand Of her
Creator, and was resigned. to His will.
With her the battle is fought and won--ths
course 10 finished with joy, and the goal
the New Jerusalem is reached. May
her example stimulate her husband and
children and others to live for God, and
less for the world. Oh, ye Of desolate
hearts, cling to that faithful Savior who
comforted loved one in her dying hours
and once more she will be yours in Heaven
awelcome sweet hour Of full discharge,
That sets our longing souls at large;
Unbinds our chain, breaks up our cell,

THE Boz WHO FOUND HONE The Hon.
A. II. Stephens, Of Georgia, in q recent
address OF Alexandria, for the benefit OF
the orphan asylum and free school Of that
city, related the following anecdote: =" A
poor boy, on . cold night, with no house
or roof TO shelter his head, no paternal or
maternal guardian or guide to protect or
direct him on his way, reached ct night
foil the home Of wealthy planter, who
took him in, fed and lodged him, anc eeut
him on his way with his blessing. These
kind attentions oheered his heart, and in
spired him with fresh courage to battle
with the obstacles Of life. Years rolled ;
Providence led him on, and he reached
tho legal profession. His host had died ;
the cormorants that preyed on the sub
stance of man had formed conspiracy to
get from the widow her estates. She sent
for the nearest counsel to commit her
cause to him, and that counsel proved to
be the orphan boy long before welcomed
and entertained by her deceased husband.
The stimulus Of o wrrm and tenacious
gratitude was now added to the ordinary
motive connected with the profession. He
undertook her case with will not easily
to DO resisted; he gained it; the widows
estate was secured to her in perpetuity,
"and" Mr.. Stephens added with an en-
phasis Of emotion that sent an electric
thrill throu ghout the house, that boy
stands before you"

The Street Railway.

The Street Railway. ( /
Col. Dent continues to press the compile
ton of the street railway in spite Of the
tempestuous opposition Of winds and
SHOWS. The turn tables are fixed, the track
all laid, the cars on the rails and ell things
seems to be waiting for the man and the
mule to put the enterprise in practical
mott on. Street cars are almost indispen,
sable to the comfort and convenience. Of
our citi Gems, and ere long We predict thai
they will urge the construction Of other
lines along other streets No better man
could be entrusted to the faithful execution
Of such work than Col. Dent, who has 90
uncomfortable sort Of disposition which
leads himrto complete every thing he I'm.
dertakes, calculated to advance the public
good.

The completion of this enterprise, essen
TALLY incident TO our metropolitan pros

the Dallasonians. Through the courtesy
Of Col. Dent its indefatigable constrnc-
tor, and the Board Of Directors, the public
functionaries Of the count ~ and city and

the round trip" yesterday evening. The
feat was accomplished with many con

Dead Cattle.

Dead Cattle. ..-
Our exchanges from the stock regions
report great loss Of cattle this winter
from the severe cold and scant food to
which they have been subjected. All nu-
triton has been frozen out of the grass
and with nothing to eat and cold to endure
the loss of stock must be expected. In q
country like this, where the finest hay can
be gathered at an uncomfortable expense,
it is surprising that those who are largely
interested in stock enterprises have not
discovered the necessity and economy Of
feeding their animals during the extreme
winter weather, which not unfrequsntly
visits his State.

While in tho city, recently, we
saw d German hard at work at the
Louisiana Paper Manufacturing
Company's mill, who is now poor
man, but a year or 80 ago was esti-
mated to have 100000 worth Of
property. By indorsing he lost all
and instead of committing suicide,
as some would have done, or sit
ting down and complaining of his
bad fortune as we might expect,
he uttered not a word Of complaint,
but works manfully to get another
start in business and he shows
such determination, that We have
no doubt he will once moro become
wealthy man. This mans name
is Mr.. ]. Hauck, and he may any
day be seen boiling or steaming
rags preparatory to manufacturing
