Death Of Sam Hill.

1t Is with extreme regret that We
learn of the death of Sam J. Hill, at
the homo of his father near Mont
gomery, last Saturday. For weeks
he has been very low with typhoid
lever, and last Saturday his suffer-
ing were ended. We knew him,
knew him well, had associated with
him in the capacity of school-fcliow
and friend, and hc was young man
OF many noble traits. Brave, gener-
Gus aud true, no one knew him but to
esteem. But he has been called away
just rs he was entering manhood. 1t
is ever painful duty 10 us TO chron-
icle the death of any one, but when il
is playmate of our boyhood days, il
is with feelings Of more than ordina'
ry regret and sorrow.

Daughters College,

AT Harrodsburg, Ky, whose adver-
tiscment appears in this paper, is one
of the Oldest and most celebrated in
stitutions for the education OF women
in the State. Many of the most &C.
complished and useful women of the.
country claim with pride as their
alma mater, and are now sending
their daugeters to take their places in
it's halls. 1t is situated on the site of
the old Greenville Springs--whose
waters are so famous-and is sur
rounded by one. Ct the most lovely and
healthful regions in the West. No
institution has done more to elevate
the standard Of female education, and
the constant patronage it has received
from all the surrounding States; as
well as from Kentucky. indicates the
high esteem in which its methods and
appointments arc deservedly held.
