city, died at her home last Sabbath and
was buried from the Baptist Church, on
the succeeding Tuesday afternoon, on
which occasion Rev. C. d. Bcldcn preach
ed an admirable discourse replete with
sound doctrine, wise counsel and comfort
ing assurances. Mrs. Banks was in the
10th year of her age, and during several
months preceding her death was very in
firm She had been blind during the las,
IS years,-an affection which seemed to
deepen the picty Tor which she had long
been conspicuous, and render her esreci-
| ally devoted in her religious exercises
! She was remarkable for her sweetness OF
f! disposition and her charitable affection fcI
all with whom she became acquainted
She was living monument to the genu:
iacness of the christian religion, and al
though she has not been able to mingle
with society but little, she had firm hold
! upon the hearts of all who knew her. The
funeral was attended by many of the best
citizens, and those too who were most in
innate with deceased and who most ap-
| preciatcd her worth. The family have
the sympathy of all in the hour of this
| their deep atfiiction.

The Races.

The Driving Park Association will open
their splendid new track on the I'd Of july
to horses from all parts of the. country and
they expect to witness the largest assem-:
blage and the most satisfactory contest
that have ever attracted public attention
in this State. Excellent judges say the
track is fully equal to any that they have
ever seen,-it having all the advantages of
scientific construction, proper soil and To-
cation. Some noted horses from abroad
are already here, and we learn that many
others are coming, which, with the fine
racers owned by our citizens will make a
rare company of contestants. The ampi
theatre and Judges stand will be compile
ted in time for use, and they will be large
and commodious. The Association have
provided for races Of all kinds so that
none will be excluded from the. contest.
The entrance fees are moderate and the
premiums very liberal. The character OF
the men having immediate control is such
as to assure all of fair treatment. Every
thing will be conducted upon business
princlples-the object being to cultivate
speed and to let the fastest horse win.
