We regret to learn, from a letter writ

his brother, Esq. Ephraim Davis, that
Mr.. y. J. Akin is dead. Mr.. Akin sold
out last month and went to Texas with
his son David. We are permitted to
copy few lines from Mr.. DaVis's letter:

about right in regard to John Akin-he

very well, Dave says he ate too much
fruit. The health of this country is
very good. Crops are very much hurt
with the drouth. Corn is tolerably
good. Cotton will make about half a
bale to the acre. We are having plenty

And dash'd it out-There was tint of
On cheek and lip,-he touch'd the veins
with ice,
And the rose faded; forth from those blue
eyes
There spoke wishful tenderness "a doubt
Whether to grieve or sleep, which innocence
Alone can wear. With ruthless haste he
bound
The silken fringes of their curtaining lids
Forever; there had been a murmuring
sound,
With which the babe would claim its
mothers ear,
Charming her even to tears. The spoiler
His seal of silence. But there beam'd a

So fix'd and holy from that marble BROW
Death gazed, and left it there;-he dared

A Large Calf.-Mr. Jos. Wells butchered
a calf, on Wednesday last, the live weight
of which was 365 lbs. and dressed 227 lbs.
The calf was ten weeks old, and was raised
and fed by Mr.. Warrington, who lives near
Mechanics Valley, about six miles from
Elkton. Mr.. Warrington, it seems, makes
specially of raising calves. He allowed
two calves to have the milk of three cows,
and their will of meal at all times, and the
result in this instance-and we presume in
every other instance where similar treat
ment is followed-is one of the latest and
largest calves we ever saw hung up. The
kidneys appeared masses of fat larger than
an ordinary calf's head, and heavy layer
of fat almost covered the back and pro-
truded in the TANKS in thick rolls. Mr.. w.
prefers to use his milk in the feeding of
calves for market, in hot weather, in prefer
ence to making butter, and with less work,
and thinks it pays him better. A great
