About daylight one Sunday morning,
Mrs. Jackson informed him that his recov-

He advised his wife. in the event of his
death. to return to her fathers hense, and
added:
"Iou have 4 kind and good father, but
there is no one 50 kind and good as Your

cry. bat requested her. if he should die. to
have him buried in Lexington, in the Val
ley of the Virginia. His exhaustion in
creased SO rapidly that at eleven o'clock
Mrs. Jackson knelt by his bed and told him
that before the sun went down he would be
with the Savior.
He replied, 80 no: YOU are frightened,
alarmed: death is not SO near: may get

She fell over the bed, weeping bitterly.
and told him that the physician said there
was no hope. After Il moments pause,

When hs was answered. he turned his
eye toward the ceiling. and gazc.l for 4
moment or two. us if in intense thought,
then replied, "Vcry good, very good; it
is all right
He then tried to comfort his almost
heart-broken wife, and told her he had a
good deal 10 say to her, but he was too
weak. Col. Pendlcton came into the room
about one O'Clock and he asked him, who

When told that the whole army was pray

OF his staff: now with his wife and child !;
now at prayers with his military family

would appear, and during one Of them |

my departure, and do no cool: | want to

About half-past one lie was told that he
had but two hours to live, and he answered

BEET Roof SUGAE.-The manufacture

the purposes of that which is imported. In
TACT no one can tell the difference of the

manufacture was commenced in 4 mo,l,r-
ATE way In w IScOnSln. but We never heard
that 1t was successful enough to induce the
farmers in other localities to embark in

scale, and rs the conditions of soil and
climate have proved to be very favorable
to the production of the sugar beet. if j.

mind of the first Napoleon. and was the
consequence of his desire to render that
people independent of the colonial de
pendencies of Great Britain The result
has been that after lapse of fifty wears
the annual production now amounts to
800, 900 tons per annum. Other European
countries have followed the example of
France, and the business is now success
fully carried on in Germany, Austria, Rus

them by actual proof that they can con-

which there is a constant and ever increa>-

can do. and our only want is pioneers to
