Another Old Citizen Gone.

ssneath strikes the hour of the souls ever
lasting espousals. To common ears 1t may
seem a. death-knell to the ear OF faith it is Il
bridal-peal." Thus has it been with our much
esteemed citizen Benjamin F. Points Esq, who
departed this life on Saturday last, at his resi-
dence in this city, at six O'Clock P. NJ, aged
65 years and 10 months. Mr.. Points was a
native of Staunton, and here resided all his
life. except for short time he lived in Aaba-
ma. He grew up with the town and from
village he witnessed its growth to city. He
was called upon by his neighbors to fill various
places of trust such as Justice of the Peace,
Councilman and Director in the bank, the du-
ties of which he performed with honor to him
self and won the esteem of all Interested. One Of
his peculiar traits was punctuality-he kept his
eneagements-hs engagements to meet, his
engagements to pay, his engagements to do.
In short, he was always in his place, always at
his post, always up to his engagements. In
all his business transactions public and private
he exhibited the principle Of the highest type
of character IAN honest man, He s'remem-
bered his Creator in the days Of his youth"
and ever after acknowledged God," hence
with him there was Eight at evening Time"
Friday, the day preceding his death, he was
cheerful and made his preparations to go to
the Cold Sulphur on Saturday, but an all wise
Providence ordered differently. and instead of
visiting the Springs, his spirit was called to
the land where there is no sickness and the in
habitants never thirst. His bereaved family
and relatives have the sympathy of all.
His funeral was attended by very large
concourse of citizens and Masons, Of which or
der he was a member, and religious exercises
were conducted at the residence by the Rev.
W. E. Baker, and at the grave by Rev. DR..
Martin who read the beautiful burial service of
the Methodist Church South, at the conclusion
of which the burial ceremonies of the Masons
were performed. Thus another of Staunton's
loved and honored citizens sleeps in Thorn
rose cemetery.

Augusta Centennial.

On the second OF May, a great demonstra-
ton was made at Mecklenburg- place
claiming to have taken the first step towards
the great Revolution of 177G. An examlna-
ton of the records shows that Augusta Coun-
ty was the first to set the ball rolling as the fol-
lowing resolutions, dated two months previous
to the Meckenburg resolutions, and oyer q
year before the declaration. Attest at that time
Augusta had right to a voice in National Al
fairs, as her territory embraced domain lar
ger than any State and her people were &C
knowledged to be among the most intelligent
and progressive of the colonies We publish
the entire proceedings of Convention held in
this place on the 22d of February. 1775, over
one hundred years ago, and leave our readers
to determine whether or not they are worthy
to be considered as the precursor Of that great
production of Jefferson's, which, over a year
afterwards was laid dowrr'as the foundation oi
the greatest Republic the sun ever shone upon.

MEDIEVAL CUSTOM REvIvED.-An old
shoe thrown after departing friends is held to
be productive Of good luck. The happy for
tune in store, therefore, for . +hevy Of fair
Texans, who left last week, must, be incalcula-
BILE when we consider the style and generally
dilapilated condition Of. the slipper that was
tossed by the energetic hand Of 4 sincere well
wsher, after the Pullman Palace that was
bearing them to the joys and greeting of far
Southern homes. We admire the sentiment
and its expression on the part Of this ,rcsolute
and seli-possesseq young. Texan, WHO was
left behind. No byssterical weeping or wo-
manish fearfunesss, but a gay and hearty fare
we'll to her copananions and tile brave toss of a
worn slipper broke tllro' the heretofore fixed
sorfoyfuinesss OF school girl separations. May
she always meet the sombre incidents of life
with the cheerfulness and courageousness She
eylnced on that sultry june morniAg.

As man he was high-toned, generous and
possessed OF that innate gentility and courtesy
indicative alike of the born gentleman and true
man. Descended from long line Of honora-
able ancestors he reflected credit on the name
he bore and by his noble traits of character won
many warm personal friends. In conversation
he was brilliant, fascinating and witty, and
never failed to arrest the attention of all who
CHANGED to be within the sound Of his voice.
It is seldom that one. meets with mind so
gifted by nature and. so severely trained and
well balanced, and had his life been spared his
reputation would ere long haze become nation
al. His place in his profession and society
cannot readily be filled and his many friends
in Staunton and elsewhere will hear with I'M
seigned regret of the sudden ctose Of a career
so promising.
