Our community was painfully wrought upon, 00 Saturday last, by the iotelli-1 genoe of the death of Mrs. JUDITH O. NASON, the devoted and beloved consort of Mr. 0. T. MASON. The death of this much-loved lady was painful and au '.dcu, and ha? thrust darts of pieroiog anguish io to tho hearts of a large oirole of relatives and friends. Her funeral services were performed ot the Presby? terian Churoh, ou Sabbath morning, in the presence of an unusually large congregation, the occasion being one of j great solemnity nod impressiveness. The Baptist and Methodist Churches were closed, the congregations united, ?od Rev. DONALD MCQUEEN, was assisted in the services by Revs. S. M. RICHARDSON and H. M. MOOD. ^^^^^ItNOOa??^AX^^^^^ Thoso who have not yet made their returns to the Assessor Maj. W. P. DE KNIOIIT, still have the opportunity, and ahould do so ot oooe.

DeLoruie, Druggist, handed us, a few days ago, a baker's dozen of tiokcts, which-so far from representing the number of witches which were supposed to sit down at the table with the bakers of former timos, in their great meetings -stood good, each one, for a glass of the charming soda that makes merry music as it gushes from his beautiful fountain.

Thc crust ot thc earth was broken, on Monday morning last, in excavation for the foundation of a new Brick Hotel and stores io connexion, on the lot immediately adjoiuiog the Planters' Warehouse and fronting the Court House. This building will rest upon two lote as previously divided and sold-and last purchased, one by Messrs. RICK ER & FERITER, and the other by F. J. MOSES, JR.

It WK the evening of the Fireraen'e Parade "Tb? moon Rising lo clouded majesty, at length, Apparent queeo, on rei led bar peerless light, And o'er lb? derk ber silver mantle threw." It ir aa a eight of beauty-of lovely quiet. Young spring-times' beautiful array nestled in the grander light of the full-orbed moon. The earth beneath our splendid trees a patch-work of shadow and of light. Gentle zephyrs toyed amid the scene, to waft in swoeter melody music's soul-inspiring strains. We, all unconscious, slept, to be awakened by the reality of delight that brought sweet sounds streaming full through our window. It was a moment of real pleasure, and if we failed to arise and greet the generous friends who oame thus to greet us, it wae ' that we would not break tho spell that bound us. We tender our highost appreciation of the beautiful compliment. BEYOND A DOUBT. More diseases are the result of a derangement of the Liver than from any other eause.

OCCUPATIONAL A ? Ii RI I5NTS. Fresh, pure air is a vitalizing elixir.

Not ono of them combine? tho thruo properties of a tonic, an alterativo, and an apo rimt. All those olemonts aro blooded in thc Ritters ; nor are these tho sum of its medicinal I recommedation8. It is also n blood d?purent] and an antispasmodic. Tho baleful effect which air that has boen par? tially exhausted of its oxygen hy frequent breath? ing produces on tue vital organization, is noto? rious, and wlion to this devitalized atmosph?re is supcradded tho incphilio vapor of hot air fur onces, it becomes deleterious and depressing ir tho oxtroino.
