SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED
CITIZEN. Death has claimed an.
other of our best citizens. Mr.
Samuel Gnmer died suddenly on
Thursday last, the ed inst. He
rose early in the morning, which he
spent as usual with his family, and
some friends who were on a visit.
After dinner he walked into the
garden, and returning to the house
complained of feeling badly, and
walking into an adjoining room
fell speechless and died in a few
moments.
He was a native of our county
about seventy-tive years of age at
his death-and for many years a
consistent member of the Upper
Long Cane (Presbyterian) Church.
lie was trul v an honest man, hon
orable and upright in all his deal
ings, a good neighbor and a sincere
friend. He leaves a wife and three
little children to,mourn, his loss.

The PoLARIs EXpEDITIoN.-Our
exchanges are still full IF the de-
tails Of this sad expedition, OBJ
tanned from the nineteen unfortu:
mates who, after. undergoing untold
privations on the ice, were finally
rescued. They believe that they
were willfully abandoned by Bud
dington, who, with the rest of the
crew, remained on the vessel and
have not since been heard of. The
impression too prevails among
them that Capt. Hall was poisoned
by the faint hearted of The crew,
who thus sought to end the explo-
ration.

Along the entire route the grow

have prevented the farmers from
plowing and hoeing their crops
which are now being over-run by
grass and weeds. The low grounds
appear not to have yet been plant.
ed, and the prospect Of. a crop. on
these lands seems rather discourag-

learned that the Woford College
buildings and grounds had been
bought and paid for, and that the
Home was about being organized
with teachers, matrons, &C., and
were now about ready to receive
some twelve or fifteen orphan boys
or girls. Inmates of this Institu-
ton will be taught in all the
branches of housekeeping and out
door work. The hand as we'll as
the head will receive appropriate
education. About ninety thousand
dollars have been subscribed to
endow this institution, but. compar-
atively only a small amount has
yet been paid, perhaps not more
than twenty thousand dollars.
One man has willed to this institu-
ton fifty thousand. dollars, to be
naid at the death of his widow.
