DEArH.-Mrs Barre, the wife of DR..
Barre, died on the night of Tuesday, the
Goth inst, after long and painful illness,
which was borne with exemplary forti;ade
and christian patience. Though compara-
lively stranger here, Mrs. Barre had mad
many friends. Her meekuess, her patience,
and true Christian department, endeared her
10 all who knew her. She leaves, besides
her husband, two children, both girls. One
Of these, the younger, is still entirely help
less from the effects Of an attack Of menin. .
gifts, with which she was seized several
months ago.
May the Good Shepherd Of the sheep take
these little children under his special care
and protection, shield them from all cold
and bitter winds and keep them safe as his
own tender lambs.

OK SMOKING ToBAcco.-WhateYer may
be said Of the pleasure derived from the
habit of smoking tobacco, we feel we'll as
surcd that it yields no profit. II is not !
comely habit; it Injuries the health; it costs
considerable money, and it is exceedingly
dangerous. When all men smoke, and
great many women and boys, too, the wonder
is, not that there are so many, but that there
are not great many more fires, whose
origin is entirely mysterious and inscrutable.
Gentlemen, you ought to quit smoking, and
if you must use the weed at all, chaw it,
Chewing tobacco is not nice, but it is less
injurious to the health than smoking, and it
does not mIsn you liable to become at any
time an involuntary incendiary.

no time to lose in town. The colored element

we're chiefly venders of melons, apples, &c.
Everything passed off unusually quiet,
with only few sales of no consequence We
suppose the great scarcity of money was the
occasion Of so small sales.

arrested at st. Louis on requisition of the
Governor of Tennessee, charged with fraudu-

to Memphis, where the warrant was found;

at that place the Sheriff who arrested them
concluded to allow them to remain in st.
Louis on bail to deliver themselves up to him
when the epidemic has abated, and meanwhile
to report to him daily. The action Of the
Sheriff has excited some criticism and is said to
be unprecedented. At all events it is sensible.

QUESTION OF LAw.-It appears now that
the Taintor defalcation case has been reduced
70 the question whether, under the act Of
Congress establishing the national banks, any
officer Of national bank, who uses its funds
for purposes Of speculation, cannot be held
to answer for an illegitimate conversion of said
funds, even though acting in this business
with the full knowledge and consent Of the
directors. common sense application Of the
law, we think, would hold the offending Off
Ger and his aiders and abettors responsible for
the misappropration Of the funds of the bank
in illegtimate speculation; but there is no
telling what may be the issue among lawyers
and judges upon point of law.
