THE HARVEST OF DEATH.

A gloom has been cast over the entire
community by the sudden death OF three
of our most prominent and highly re-
speeted citizens. The news OF the DEAN
Of Colonel r. A. Pinson aud Colonel
James Phelan, both Mississippians' but
M, less enSeared to our citizens during
a residence here of several years' came
Saturday almost at the same hour. The
eVelids of the brave, genial Pinson had
scarcely been closed in triumphant
Christian death when word came and
was passed in sad accents from mouth
10 mouth that Judge Phelan, the gifted
LAWYER who had adorned his profession
and held such high place in the alec
t;ons of his friends and the respect Of
the public in more than one or two
States had breathed his last. They
died only few hours apart. and the
taars that had not been stayed Tor the
first rained anew at the second mourn
fnl calamity that had befallsn the COM
mupity as we'll as two families. Every
be.rt seemed touched with a common
svmpatby, and even in the places OF
business where thoughts OF death
would appear so remote men spoke
in subdued tones, aud drew together IN
small groups to hear the few words that
escaped from full hearts; and yesterday
morning, while friends and comrades oil
both the deceased held a meeting
marked for decorum and solemniiy, at
ona Of the hotels to make arrangements
for the funerals, and to pay the proper
tributes of respect to their worth and
nesitions, a messenger was entering the
church of the Rev. Dr. Slater TO inform
him that one of the members, suddenly
taken i'll at his home near by, was dying

mitted. But time was brief and death
insatiste. The good man passed away
with the setting of the sun, Thus, IN
few short hours three families have been
bereaved, and sadness and sympathy MI
the hearts of the people. These three ex'
csllent gentlemen werein the meridian OF
life, full of hopes and plans for the fu'
ture, enjoyin the confidence Of the pub
lie aud the full love oftheir families. Who
would have predicted two weeks ago
when they enjoyed their usual health
and vigor, that they or any one oil them
would SO soon be cut down. How true
that lin the midst of life we are IN
death" The last sad rites will soon be
paid to all, and others fitted for such q
task will record their many virtues and
manly Christian worth in behttlnP
terms. No event for years has SO at
fected all classes of the community.
