Ta- bride is a woman of the truest aud
most lovable character, and there we're few
of the young ladies io This city more beloved
by all. One who would grace and adorn
any circle or occasion, she busted herself
more in deeds Of charity than 10 the light

the exempli6cation OF charity, the greatest
and best of virtues. Mr. Ligon has won a
prize whose price is far above rubies and it is
