THE LATE REV. J. G. HAMMER.

A correspondent of the Religious Herald,
| published at Richmond, Va, writing from
Liberty, Va, furnishes sketch of the life
aud character of the Rev. John c. Hammer,
who died at his residence in this county in
April last, from which We copy the following
extract:
This excellent man was born in Bucking>
ham county, Sept. 26, 1914. He made pro-
fession of religion in the fall of 1929, and was
baptized By Rev. j ohm 8. Lee. In the spring
! Of 1882, no entered tho Baptist Seminary at
Richmond. He went to the COLUMBIAN Coli
lese in October, 1886, and remained in this
institution till he graduated in 1888. In
August, 1912, 10 was ordained at Red Oak
church by Elders Samuel Davidson and T. W.
Sydnor. Several years before aud Most of his
| timo after his ordination, lie deyotsd to school
teaching. At the same time he was de-
voted pastor of churches around him. He
Was the successful pastor of Liberty church,
Appomattox, for thirteen years. In October,
1867, he moved to Missouri, and settled at
Miami, and took charge of the Seminary at
that place. On his way to Missouri, he met
with the great affection Of suddenly losing
the wife of his youth. She died of cholera
on steamboat, and was buried on the bank
of the river. While in Missouri, lie was use>
full, not only as school teacher, but as min
lister of Christ, and as o Sunday school worker.
In April, 1873, he moved to West Virgins,
and died in Jefferson county, of this State,
April 6, 1875. His death was sudden. For
some time before his departure, though in
good health, he was impressed that his end
was near. He, however, looked upon this
great event with composure and delight. In
reference to it, he had not long before writ
ten thus to his old friend and college mate,
Rev. T. w. Sydnor, D. D.; 81 see from the
Herald (Which still take) that many of our
dear brethren, as Witt, Taylor and others,
have gone to their reward. The departure Of
SO many, whose faces shall no more see in
this world, and upon whom it was once SO
pleasant to look, often reminds me that am
rapidly approaching to that "undiscovered
country from whose bourne NO traveller re-
turns" My dear brother, We are already
among the old ministers; our work is nearly
done. l sometimes come to the conclusion
that have more dear friends in heaven than
have now on earth, and it is with some
anxiety look forward to the time when
shall meet them all again" According to
this earnest wish, he entered the paradise of
God and met these loved ones, not long after
the date of this letter. He was paralyzed,
and soon after, his soul entered its long sought
rest. His funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. I. b. Shepherd, and his remains were
buried in the cemetery at Charlestown, West
Va, attended by large crowd of sympathiz>
ing witnesses.
Bro. Hammer, was twice married. His sec-
ond wife was Mrs. Harriet N. Smith. She
made his children one of the best of STEP
mothers, and him one of the best of wives.
She and four children still survive him. His
only remaining brothers are. Col. ]. A. Ham.
ner, of LYnchburg, and VIM. G. Hammer, of
l. Kentucky.

FLOODS AND CROPS,

The effects of the foods in the West
Eesm to correspond to the conclusion reached
about those in England. While undoubted
damage has been done to the standing crops,
the destruction is not as great as was at first
apprehended- Against the injuries by the
foods may be set off the probable profit
which all descriptions of root crops have
derived from the rain, and the enriching of
pastures, which promises a fine yield of the
products of the dairy. besides holding out
the prospect that beef will be of excellent
quality, a. we'll as cheap and plentiful this
year. The Indian corn crop in most sections
is also evidently to be prolific.
