LAST SUNNI er when the question
was in every ones mind whether the
Crescent City was again to be affiict.
ed with yellow fever, the whole coun-
try was startled by the announce
ment that among its half dozen or
more victims were first the lovely
young wife of the brave Confederate
GenerakJ. B. Hood, followed by the
death Of the General himself, leav
ing ten little babes to the cold mer-
cies of the world. The women of
the South and North alike arose to
this appeal to their charity and a
subscription list was opened, but
with no great result comparatively.
The late warrior was on the point of
publishing his Narrative of Personal
Experiences,in the United States aud
Confederate States Armies. The
book has just been published by his
comrade, General G.. T. Beauregard,
the entire proceeds going to the sole
use and benefit of "The Hood Or

OBITUARY.

DIED, at Pipeville, La, on We1nes-
day morning, January 18th, 1880, M ISIS
NANCY BOYCE, aged, 26 years and 6
months. eldest daughter of the late
Charles w. and BERTHA Boyce. +,
EB New Orleans papers please copy.
! This brief announcement will convey
to large circle of kindred and friends
the sad intelligence of the demise of one
whose rare and estimable traits of char
acter had won the love and admiration
of all who came within their influence.
1t is seldom, indeed, that we tind.devel-
oped in such remarkable degree those
sublime christian virtues which lend
such charm to female character, and
which may be said to exert the most
ennobling influences in their exercise.
Through all ages of the world, wo-
man has displayed the highest devotion
and the Hottest conceptions in minis
tering to the happiness of mankind,
and, in her peculiar sphere, she has
done more than all the theories of the
philosophers to ameliorate the ills, and:
to tighten the burdens under which
the children of Adam have languished.
The brief life of our friend was re-
plete with deeds which exemplifiei her
true goodness of heart and the genuine
christian spirit by which her every act,
was stimulated. In the family. circle.
there clustered about her the love and
tenderest affections of mother, brothers
and sisters, and, while their pangs and
grief at separation can find but poor
consolation in woads, the imperishable
fragrance of her gentleness, goodness,
purity and love may, in some measure,
alleviate their sorrow.
