LAMENTED ?KATH. Tho mortal reina i na of Mr. NICHOLAS S. PUNCH -nu intelligent, pious and useful citizoD of Sumter Coauty-were committed to their last resting place, at Bethel Church, on Monday last, attend? ed hy an unusually large assemblage of I the people of that section, and ? number of persons from Sumter Town. Bothel Church, of which he was % leading member, has truly sustained a heavy loss. Tho scone attending his obsequies was one of touohing interest. The funeral cortege, beside a Masonic procession, and many relatives and friends, embraced the Bible elass of j which thc deceased had been the dearly beloved teacher-some twelve or fifteen young ladies, robed in white, with badges of mourning, and eaoh bearing a flower wreath, with whioh to deck his bier. The sobs and frequent outbursts of grief in this fair throng attested the depth of their affection for their depart? ed teaobor, whilst the tears whioh ran down many cheeks gave ovidenee of the extent to whioh he was beloved by his friends and neighbors. Rev. J. W. MURRAX spoke with much feeling and earnestness, and at times with a sacred fire and eloquence that moved the hearts of his hearers. Tho burial eorvice was read by Rev. S. J. HILL, when the body was interred with Masonic honors, W.\ M.\ E. C. GREEN, of Claremont Lodge, officiating. Our deepest sympathises are with the afflicted relatives._ TO OUR PATRONS, Wo earnestly request those indobted to' the Watchman to mako payment.
