TRIBUTE no TIL: REV. CHARLES
ID. ROBERTS. .....l.

The following tribute of respect was
adopted by the Sacramento Prcsby,ery
to the memory Of Rev. G. D. Robcrts,
formerly of this place:
az few days after the last stated
meeting of Prcsbytery i'll the Fall, Rev.
Charles D. Roberts died. Jesus, his
Master, and ours, called him from
abundant labors through grace, to heav-
emily rewards.
Brother Roberts, was, Mt tho time of
his death, and for several yenrs had
been, II fellow Preshyier. He had been
remarkably Inithful in the discharge
Of his Presbytcrial, duties. lie seldom
missed meeting, although, most OF
The time, living several hundred miles
away. He greatly endcared himself to
the nembers Of Prcsbytcry, MS we'll MS
to the picmbers of his own conSrcpa-
ton. The good fruits of his judici0us
public lpbOls and pastoral oversight
are said to,.bc distinctly visible: and nc
believe they will he, seen inter many
days; and that they will appear us stars
Ill the crown which shall DO given him
OH the great and tinal day.
Brother Roberts possessed rarely
beautiful spirit, kind, humble, earnest,
anu Christ-likc. lie sought not his
own; but the things which belonged to
Christ. And his intercourse with his
Brethren made him truly Il Brother be
loved. We sincerely. mourn his curly
departure, cherish his memory, and
emulate his example"
THOSE portcntious clouds. Of inky
blackncss, which lowered upon the
horizon yesterday looked fayorablo for

A terrific tornado passed twelve miles
east Of Hickman. Ky, Sunday evening
the Goth of December. sweeping down
whole forests in its pathway, enabling
persons to walk over the trunks Of trees
where before was dense woods. Twelve
dwelling houses and barns we're swept
down, some of them being blown into
fragments and the inmates barely escap-
Ing with their lives, Worm fences,
bottom rail and all, were lifted and blown
away. At Mayfeld two persons were
crushed TO death under the rains of
houses. A negro man was killed out
right. At another point man named
Chucks and Miss Searcy were killed.
and her sister badly crippled. The Hotel
Reel, at the foot Of the lake, was blown
down, the guests barely escaping. Some
were badly bruised by flying timber.
Death and destruction was sowed along
the entire track Of the tornado. which
made a noise which was heard for miles
and miles.
