From the Rio Grande Republican, of the llth inst, published at Las Cruces, New Mexico, we extract the following notice of . lady well-known and highly esteemed by many in this city:
 ssDied on Monday afternoon, August 6, in the 26th year of her age, Miss Bessie Waiting ton, Of this city.
 "Of all the sad events that can befall humanity the very saddest is the death of young and beautiful girl, whose sweetness of disposition and grace of manner have endeared her to the hearts Of all. It is, then, with something more than the orii- nary feeling of sadness that we ex. tend to her brother the outward and visible forms Of condolence; there is m inward feeling ot the liveliest sympathy for his loss which is shared by tue whole community in winch she llved, and winch she adorned
 Miss Bessie had been ill for many weeks previous to her decease. Her sickness arose from cold, the dan ger from which was under estimated even by herself until 1t took so firm hold-on her delicate frame that no subsequent care or tenderness was able to eradicate it. She was taken to San Augustine, where 1t was thought change of air would bene- fit her; but it was already too late, and she returned in no better health. She died in the arms of her brother, her only surviving relative, and was consigned to the tomb by tender and loving hands, who ensolded her in the arms of onr Universal Mother, in a winding sEcet of wreaths and flowers. She hes beneath the spread ing branches of great tree, and the alfalfa and the wild flower upon her grave.
 "The funeral cortege left the Com mercial Hotel at II o'clock on Tues day morning. A long line of carri- ages followed the hearse to the ccm etery, and the First Battalion of New Mexico Cavalry, of which her brother was an officer, acted as an escort The last rites were perform

ANOTHER great man is gone. Judge Jeremiah Black, the profound law. yer, distinguished statesman and di plomat, and scholarly man, died a, his home in York, Pa., at 2.l0 last Sunday morning. He was copsid- cred one Of the greatest lawyers oi the day, and was also noted in the field of literature. He was appoint ed attorney general by President Buchanan in 1851 and secretary of state in 1860, and was the presi- dents most confidential adviser and counsellor in thosedark days. Judge Black had been afflicted for some days, but his death was sudden, the immediate cause being toxamia, produced by the absorption of re- tained urinary constituents. Short y before he died, he said to his wife: |: 'How can fear to cross the dark river, when my Father waits for me on the other shoreg' and added, "Would I were as comfortable about all l leave behind unfinished in this world" and then breathed the fol- ing earnest prayer:
 70, Thou beloved and most merci- ful Heavenly Father from whom I had my being, and in whom have ever trusted, if it be thy will, grant that my suffering end and that I speedily be called home to Thee, and Oh, my God, bless and comfort thee, my Mary" faA
