On the 10th instant Abiah p. Palmer, son of
David p. Palmer, esq, of this city, died in his
twentieth year. About two weeks prior to his
death he submitted to u difficult surgical oper-
alton for the removal Of a bony excrescence on
one of his legs. The tumor was the result of
what was regarded slight accident several
years ago; but as it increased in size its re-
moval was deemed advisable His sensitive
organization was unequal, however, to the
trial, and high aud uncomfortable fever super
vencd, which was the immediate cause Of his
death.
He was at the time OF his decease, and for
some time previous, valued clerk in the Gen
cral Land. Office, where his quiet, unostenta-
tious devotion to duty, his peryading DISPOSE
ton of kindness to all, his unassuming ways
and sterling qualities won the respect and love
of all with whom he came in contact He was
a most devoted son, and tho great confidence
placed in him by his parents was, perhaps, the
best test of his worth, for they knew him best
His follow laborers in tho General Land. Office
partake of the sadness and mourning that rest
so heavily ON bis stricken family. He leaves
behind him no enemy, and his life was pure
and blameless -unmuIIed by a single vice or
bad habit.
There is little more, and little better that
can be said of any than the naming of these
simple virtues. They represent the richer ee
ments of character on which our best civiliza-
ton is based. This much at least, should be
spoken of rare worth and exccllence by
ONE OF HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Pickwlekian Pastimes.

A large audience was gathered at the Fiji.
teenth Street Presbyterian Church last even
ing to witness the presentation of tho Trial

ton as in its delivery.
Among the witnesses Mr.. Archer as WiRHe,
and Mr.. Brodie as Sam Weller Spelled with

Mrs. BdydeH found a matchless impersonatol
in the person of Miss Bessie Brown.
An elegant supper, enlvened by vocal and
instrumental music was dispensed, after the
performance, down in the lecture-room of the
church. The above dramatic effort will be re-
peated shortly. Professor Greener and his &C.
