Death Aims at a Shining Mark.

Charles F. Groesbeck, son of Mrs. P,
Ii Groesbeck, was seized with convul.
sions at O'Clock yesterday morning,
which defeated the skill and efforts OF
the best physicians, and at 0 o'clock,
surrounded by his young and loving
wife, fond and devoted mother and
rotber, he was released from his suffer
ings, aud his soul passed 10 the spirit
land.
Many Of the old residents OF San An
tonic remembered with pride the pure
and silent boy, endowered with all the
noble qualities OF his fellow man, free
from all vices, loved aud respected by
all who knew him, highly educated, con>
versant with several languages, dea

mother, who consrGated the greater
portion Of her life to the culture Of his
mind and heart, and well mov she be
proud Of her success. He recently lead
to the bridal altar the beautiful aud ac>
cOmplished Miss Mollie W. Sykes, of
Aberdeen, Mississippi, and brought her
to his San Antonio bone, both deaf
mutes OF superior order Of talent, highly
educated. She modest and refined;
he noble and generous, congenihl, de-
voted and happy in the society of each
other. Seemingly to flute minds. it is
cruel indeed that they should be so sud,
denly and ruthlessly separated by death.
Sympathy deep from the hert of this
community SO out TO her and the be
reaved mother who feel that all most
dear to her is gone, and can alone b,
consoed by the thought that in tho
"sweet bye aud bye" she will meet her

1t might be expected that words Of Sc
much truth and commendation shoulu
come from those who had known thit
estlmable young man from his youth
up. Yet We who lad the privilege OF
his acquaintance but for brief period,
cannot permit the opportunity to pass
without placing upon his untimel,
grave, tribute OF our high regard al

Mr.. Groesback, WAS limited to his shor
stay in Aberdeen, still ia that brief time,
the intercourse ripened into warm affrc

OF our dear young friend. There is
language OF the soul, that requires
articulate sound to express our feelings
There are virtues and characteristic
which attract us, as the magnet does
the steel; all who met Mr.. GroesbecB
will agree with me when / say, that hc
possessed those qualities to large de-
gree, and all who came into contact
with him, We're drawn to him by hi
manly anG courtly bearing, his geutl
and winning disposition, il fact by al
the virtues and abilities of life that
entirely overshadowed the burden of 4
keen affection. His uutimely death is
blow well nigh overwhelming TO rea
tives and friends. We must console ouI
dropping hearts with the glorious trutL

the tongue OF our dear friend, and b.
stands to day with the !ubllant throne
around the Great White Throne, hearing
and joining in celestial music of angelic
choir. We can find no words TO express
our profound sympathy for his bereaved
mother and wife. our heart goes out to
both. In particular to the young widow,
voiceless in her deep and crushing grief;
like timid bird, reared in down.
