according to appointment. Two
hours and thirty live minutes were
consumed in Its delivery. The
theme was worthy Of The orator
and Maj. Daniel SUSTAINED well
the reputation he had already
earned OF beiIg the most eloquent
and graceful orator in the country
indeed grand as have been his
forts in the past, this seems to
have been conceded by all who
heard him, the greatest Grafton of
his life. An extract of same ap-
pears below. We regret our ina
billy to give it to our readers in
full. He said:
Noble are the words of Cicero
when he tells us that sit is the first
and fundamental law of history
that 1t shonld neither dare to say
anything that is false or fear to say
anything that is true, nor give any
just suspicious Of favor OF tl,saf
iecflon." No less high standard
must be invoked in considering
he life, character and services of
Jefferson Davis-a great man of a
great epoch, whose name is blend
ed with the renown of American
arms, and with the civil glories of
the cabinet and Congress hall; a
son of the South who became the
head Of a contederacy more popu:
lGuS ard more extensive than that
for which Jefferson wrote The Dec
laratioii of lndependence,au com

Than those Of which Washington
was the general. He swayed Sen.
ates and led soldiers OF the Union,
and he stood accused OF treason in
a court Of justice; he saw victory

became q captive; he ruled millions
and was put in chains; he created

Sterner ordeals of character or

was in the public gaze for nearly
half a century and in the fate

Obituary..

Thou shalt come 10 thy grave In a full age
like as shock of corn cometh in its season."
Among the constant readers OF this paper,
one has recently illustrated the above senti-
ment Of the holy writer. Mrs. Truphant But
Ter. nee Rebecca Goats, OF Hancock. Maine,
entered into rest at about s O'Clock, Sunday
evening. the 18th inst, in Wayne, the resi-
dence Of her son-in-law, Rev. g. S. Smith,
where for some time she bad been visiting.
On the previous Thursday she was using her
needle as usual and was only prevented from
attending Ladies' Mission Circle from weari-
ness. During the evening she was attacked
severely by neuralgic affection of the heart,
which stubbornly resisted all interference on
the part OF her physicians who were in con-
slant attendance during the night and succeed
ing day.
Mrs. Butler was born April 23d lS0I.as was
remarked by Il friend, while Jefferson was
president. The country was new, its govern
ment but an experiment, and contemporaries
of the events of the American Revolution
stood around her cradle. Then there was no
steamboat, nor missionary society. The great
enterprises and discoveries Of this age have
taken place during her life, and in them she
was interested to the last. She was converted

church in the town of Hancock, or Sullivan.
as then called and up to the week of her death
was an interested observer of all eOntem-
porary events, and reader Of the local and
denomnational papers. The Waterman and
Advocate were familiar to her as the Bible
which she had ever within reach, and the
F0reiga Missionary Magazine was welcomed
as a monthly visitor with interesting messages
to report OF the greater enterprises of the day.
She retained sight and hearing in a remarkable
degree, conversed as the severe pain would
allow, to within few hours Of her death, and
