IN MEMORIAM.

At the residence OF Capt. THOMAS HERBERT,
departed this life, Mrs. MARY NJ. HERBERT,
September 10th, i'll the 24th year OF her age.
How sad and melancholy the duty to lament
the loss of those, cndeared to US by many tics OF
kindred. love and affection, taken from us SO
suddenly by the unrelenting hand of Death
But how touchingly sad it is TO perform this
duty to one who so recently came among us Il
stranger. But how consoling to know she
leaves behind many weeping friends who VIII
long. very long, grieve for the untlmcy end OF
her they loved so undertaken from them in
the very enioy ment of her life, so young, so
hopeful. Her kind aimiabe, gentle and af-
fectionate disposition, 50 entwined her around
our hearts that we can only bow our heads IN
silent grief for the lost loved one, and humble
our stricken hearts to the Divine will of Him,
who ''docs all things we'll" She leaves be-
hind sorrowing husband; whose silent grief
demands our deepest SYM athy. The
calm and holy resignation in which she met her
death, betokened loving faith in her crucifed
Saviour, and christian resi- gnation to his
mercifu will We know that the innocent
wall of her weeping and orphaned child will
not ascend in vain, in earnest petitions to its
God for mercy end forgivnesS. Sorrowing
friends and husband, do not grieve. Let Gods
will be done in all things, and bow with an
humble heart and christian resignation to it
We know it is hard 10 part with those we love,
but God is merciful and torgiying, BE resigned
to this Divine will with the prayer that she now
sleeps sweeuy in the blossom OF her Father and
her Cod t s 4.

The Republican County Convention.

This body met in the Court House on
Monday last, and was organized by calling
DR.. Geo. d. Mudd (white) to the chair.
We did not hear the opening of the Doc
tors speech, but when we entered he was
reading from an article in the Times, which
stated that he had made speech in the
Senate on the Civil Rights resolutions of
so moring character that the ladies left
the room. Some of his friends had in con-
sequence of this article charged him with
being favorable to that measure in all its
features, and this he wished to deny. We
confess we did not understand exactly the
point he was aiming at. But he said in
conclusion that he did not intend to thank
anybody for preserving him, from degra-
dation," as had been recently done by the
Democratic Convention. This would seem
to SAVIOR Of ingratitude, but then, you know
we may not have understood the gentleman
correctly, though, to use a slang expression
his remarks were "as clear as Mudd."--
Messrs. VIM. B. Carpenter, Walter Swami
and VIM. J. Boarman were appointed Vice
Presidents, and Messrs. Yates Barber and
John A. Brawner, Secretaries. The dele
cations, mostly colored, were found to be
full, except that of one district. The color
ed delegates were all neatly dressed and
presented by far the most respectable ap-
pearance. Mr.. Yates Barber (white), then
moved that the following persons be sent
as delegates to the Nominating Convention
to meet at Annapolis Junction on 23d in
slant: BENZ. G. Stonestreet (white), indie
pendent Democrat; DR.. Geo. D. Mudd
(white), Republican, and Washington viii

ThC Fail River Disaster.

On Saturday morning last large cotton
factory at Fall River, Massachusetts,, took
fire from the friction of the machinery in
one of the upper rooms, and owing to the
cumbustihle nature of the oiled floor the
flames were communicated 10 the main
staigway in an instant, rendering it impos-
sible for the operatives on the upper floors
to pass down. Some ofthem rushed to the
elevator, but it would not work. Those
that had sufficient presence of mind then
ran to the firc-escapc ladders, and deccnd-
ed in safety but many of the girls and
children threw themselves from the upper
windows and were dashed to pieces by the
fall. Some were let down 10y ropes, Others
jumped on mattresses hastily collected from
the dwellings near the mill, and We're saved.
When the firemen arrived and put up their
ladders, a great many clambcred down and
thus escaped Il terrible death, 1t has not
been definitely ascertaincd how many per
ished, some accounts placing the number
as high rs seventy-tiye. While the factory
was only partially destroyed, the loss is
estimated at 100000
While the flames were making terrific
Roadway the operatives became fairly wild.
Children ran about without any knowledge
of what they were doing, crying and beg
ging piteously to be saved, yet wrenching
themselves away when taken forcibly and
carried to the tower, while yet there was
some chance, or to the iron ladder to the
two scuttle windows of the south end. 1t
was impossible to get the great majority
to take even this method to save their lives.
Some wanted clothing, and some this or
that thing, they knew not what.
AS the fire frightened them away from
their deliberation at the foot of the roof
ladders, they rushed to the windows at the
south gable end, but they were nearly
sixty feet from the ground and dared not
jump down. Cotton ropes were put out
for them to slide down by, and some took
this means, but in the effort several met
with their death or injury; for no sooner
would the rope be lowered before there
was arush for it from the story below; too
