EDGEFIELD, S. C.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1858.
RULES THAT MUST IN FUTURE BE OBSERVED.
All advertisements from this date, not amounting to
more than $10, must be paid for in advance.
Merchants and others advertising by the year, will
be required to settle every six months.
No paper will be sent out of the District unless paid
for in advance.
All letters on business connected with the Office, to
receIve prompt atteition, must be addressed to the
I Edgefleld Adrertiser."
To these rules we will rigidly adhere. Therefore,
tako notice and act accordingly.
OUR OUTSIDE.
We ask attention to the articles of " PINCKNEY,"
and of " S," on the first page of this number.
pZSeveral editorial items, comlluications and
advertisements have been crowded out this week.
They will receive attention next week.
OUR LATE LOCUM-TENENS.
Our best thanks ire tendered to our friend, M. W.
GAa-r, Esq., for the handsome and efficient manner
in which be has filled the chair editorial for us during
tho past two weeks. We hope at no distant day to
soo him adding the influence of his graceful and for.
cible pen, permanently, to the 'press-gang' of South
Carulina. It would be, for him, but an agreeable ad
ditlion to the duties of his prufession, and, for his many
friends, a matter of sincere congratulation.
RELIGIOUS NOTICE.
The Corner Stone of the Catholic Church will be
laid to.diy (Wedue-day) at II o'clock, A. M., by Tery
Rev. Dr. Lvscu, of Charleston. An appropriate dis
course will be delivered on the occnsiou.
We understand the ceremony is one of much solem
nity and interect. The l.everend Divine, who ottici
ates onl the occasion, has the reputation of being one
of the strongest men in his Church, ut least in the
South,-and thos who attend will dontltless hear
sotiething instructive and edifying.
SI.LE OF THE BURTON NEGItOES.
See the atdverticsment of thiu sale. Thu lot of
slaves i., it choice one; uild, as the leg:.!ees are all
minors, fair lirgaies m:iy be expected ; and, what is
more. good lug indulgence may he reckoned upon
w' suppose. The ruling prices or negro property are
uw-iihan-get hv the timies. In truth, the demand for
l!av- labor is so largely on the increatse that no di
ninution in prices cal be lookedl for, except in acci
dental enses. Oi the contrary, it is probable thati
prices will advance, much higher than at present,
within the next two years.
While on the subject, we mnay mention that at a sale
in this iiiinedliate vicinity, not aweek ago, a lot of 17
slaves sold at tin average price of $8G6,76. Of these,
two were nearly 50 years old, and six or seven under
eight years. Two yountg women without children
sold for $2,565, onie bringing $1,350, the other $1,215.
Boys and men sold at from $1,200 to $1,400. Three
of thtesochrought an aggregate price of $3,810.
THE SEASON.
The wet term has prevailed for the past month or
two, and our farmers were never more backwardl in
their operations. Almuannes to the contrary notwith
standing, we have had little tsr no winter duri'ng the
witer mionths. So it is very pirobable the old tyrant,
with his icicle crown, will assort his right to reign
through at least a pairt of the vernal quarter. AndI
ih shall have wimriseatief a Fakward Spring.
.As yet, the oat crop is not half sown, lBut little
stubble land is hroken up. Gardlens are scarcely be
gun. And. taking nll things together, the season is
tardy in the extrenme. Bumt a had beginnin'g often
makes a goodi eniinig. Let not the husabanmn lie
discouraged. Let him still resolve to prepare well
for whatever erop ho de~signs producing. There is
leek in leisure. " The first shall lie last," is often
verified in agricultuiral itatters. lie not in a hurry'
theti, nor "speed the pilough" with undue restl.:s
ness when the weather breaks. "i What you do, do :
well," is a mittto which ino seemingly uinpropitious
season shosuldl make the tillers of the earth forget.
Be patietitly dlilligent anid dilligently patient, as Sir
Rtobert Hlel.wood wutldt .ay. and a bottntiful in.
'-rease will cro)wn your labors in tiinety-nitie cases out

TWO VALUA ISLE WORKJS.
Mr. JosuicA Novies, travelling Agent, has for sile
a few very valuable looks, and. prominient iamong
them is "Fleetwoiod's Life of Christ" and "'The lie
ligious Deniminationts in the United States." Th~ese
two excellent volumies we have just given a hurried
examination, bttt cheerfully say thatL we are well
pleased with them. The " Life of Christ"' is ia mans
sivo work, embracing a large amuount of the most
useful and iinteresting reading. It is hiandacumely
gotten up, and is well spoken of by every one who
has given it a puerusal. 'rho other volume, "The1
it.ligious Denoimitions in the United States."' is a
large octavo, containing lmore thiin a thousand pages,
and quite a number of flue engravings. It is just
the hook that the peole want, and will commend
itself wherever known. I
These volumes are for sale by Mr. Novas and his
aissistant, Mr. .itnE.FrI ELD. lie ready to buty, ye who
itre not supplied, when you are called upon.
TIIE TIMtES.
Whoever says the times are tough, says the truth.
liut lie whio goes further, iind pronomunces thema insur
tmountabile, is mnistaken. Whatever may be the coti
'lition oif the miercantile piurt of thec community,-(and
it is doubtless trying in the extreme)-the great bulk
of our Southerin population, the tfariing anid planting
intereat, is ini a healthy andl safe condition. Butt a
-um:il proportion of our last cotton crop has yet b'een
sold. Throtughoutt the cotton States this iissertion
hbolds true. In South Carolina, fromn all accounts, it
is uniquiestiounbly so. To conie nearer yet to our p'ar
tieulasr h'ome, it is certainly true of .igeticld District.
A gentleman of considerable infortuntiont and indis
putable shrewdness remarkedl to us but yesterday,
that he suppo.sed there was yet un-soldl cottonu anmongst
us to the value of at least $200t,000t. Without ex
amininzg closely his opinion, we nre inclined to thiink
his estimate ini the piromiss ot very wide of the mark,
Now, suppse this eotton converted itti ensh during
the next three munths, as it probabliy will be. Supposs
.it appropiriated, as soon as realized in mooney, to the
payment of debts. Imagine the dotible, triple, qiuad
ruple application of this money to the relef of credi
tors in the various ramtifications of trade. A pays B;
-B with the samne money pays C;--C py D;--and
so on to the end of the chapter. What must he the
result? The $::00,000 would sit once liiquiidate one
million of dollars of indebtedness. The diffictulties
of the hotur would be swepit away "like clouds beforec
a Iiiscaty gale." Good, iund easy, and hapspy, and
joyful times, would comeo with the pleasant breezes of
the approachinig Spring. The 'blues' would vanish
from the firesides of our merchants and men of busi
ness. The landl wotuld rmile with the summer Crops
again ; andi by the returnt of the next harvest, all would
be found latughing at the panic'of '57 uind '58.
Farmers and Planters ! it is yours to bring about
this happy result ! Sell your cotton ! Circulate your '
means! IHelp the weak dependents upon your wealth ! I
Eschew avarice! Be Christian philanthropists in a
practise ! Meet the crisis with the generosity and I!
promptness common to your noble pursuit, and des- E
pite the hopes of gangrened misers and money-lenders, I
all will be well.

CHARLESTON.
A hurried business visit to the metropolis of South
'arolina enables us to indite the following brief notes
f observation.
1. That Charleston is one of the most rolid, sombre,
nd respectable, of American cities, has been the
emark of more than one sagacious traveller from
ountries beyond the seas. It is as true of her now
s at any former day. She is "solid" in her real
state valuation - "solid" in her commercial opera
ions; "solid" Wher aims and expectations; and
'solid" in her ways and means. She is "respecta
le" in her tone of sentiment, social and political;
'respectable" in her inen and measures; and "r
pectable" in the reminiscences of her ancient worth.
Ve have interlarded our commendation with the
rord "sombre," which surely needs no explanatory
ddeadumn to any one who has ever seen her antiqua
ed wooden tenements and dingy blocks of brick and
ortar.
2. And at Charleston, in the Institue Hall, on the
tight of the 22nd ult., from a central seat, amid a
ttinerous and brilliant company of delighted listen
rs, we hal the pleasure of hIaring Thalberg;
DHALBER, the foster-son of the Muses, the superior
if Liszts, the father of mighty Fantasies, the des
ot of Demisemiquavers; an angel of peace in his
xalted melodies, a demon of excitement in his tor
andos of musical rage. Such, and 'such-like,' are
he phrases of laudation showered upon the head of
his celebrated master of music, who is now moving
ud making money amongst us. Of course the style
of this praise is obnoxious to the charge of bighfalu
enism. But the meaning of it all is nothing more,
hUnth at Sigistund Thalberg's comuand of the piano,
tnd his control and direction of its mechanical pe
'uliarities, haIve reached a degree of excellenco which
uian fangers and human tanste have never before
ueen known to aehieve. As to the real pleasure af.
rorded by his instrunentalization, we doubt if ten
n a hundred iand their expectations equalled. His
mxecution is marvellous, but not inspiring. His music
,s beautiful, but not entrancing. And this may be
readily accounted for without disparaging either his
renius or his skill. The truth is, the piano is not the
nstrument with which to reach and overwhelm the
soul. After all is done with it that can be done, It
itands before us (. an istr'uinant. We see art, art,
rt, in itE intonations, front beginning to end. Its
omin atinas of sound may become pleasing or sur
prising, suothing or startling, according to the mood
ur taste of the paerformer. Yet it can never express
the impulplee of true genius to the full. Indeed its
availability to this end appears sadly contracted,
whea coinpared with the power and beauty, the haIr
mony and richness, of various instruments uniteal.
It the rendering of any nulle caomiposition whatever
up1141 tle pi6ano, Vlile we hamve al the parts of the
piece given accurately and with due expressi:ion, it is
still but the utterance of an instrumeont whose whole
aueehaiisu says to its master, " Thus fair shall thou
go and Iao farther." It ia impiossilble to bring the
soil to hear uao its ef'eet as iII the bugle or horn.
The fingers .are tei agents iII -rolucing the tones of

ter. sit with the violin ; while the piano is depen
ient foar its epillha:as upon the greater or les.s degree
Af force with which the hands .strike upon its keys,
Lte violin is phced next tao tiae throbbing breast of its
ouster, and his w.hole wusetlar energies can be ex.
irted in aitdiniag humor, or passion, or pathbos, to its
modulations. Taike then into account. tho admitted
,periority in tone, of both the violin and the horn ;
and the piano must lae regarded a second or third
rate instrument even in the hands of a Thalberg.
And when we say that Thalberg fidls below the ex
aectations of nine-tenths of hais hearers, we lay the
lificiecy to the instruaent,-not the miusicinn.
3. But Vieux Temps ha. thec inst,'antart of triuanaphaj
indh he manages it witha a skill, a tastefulness, a vigor,
ad at soul-felt enthausiasma, which carry every auadi
nce by storam. It amay he that his co-laborer on the
piano haa moore of scientific cultivation, and more of
geaniuas. Yet, outside the ranks of toiling professors,
Viuxtemps will comtmand ten plaudits to Thalberg's
,ne. So itt leiast we feel; and as we feel we write.
4. 'Thu English Opecra was also in full blast while
we wiere in town; and barriaag sundry defects, which
it is useless to menationa here, their performances were
selaedly credi~able niid entertaining. Rosalie Do.
rand, their Prima Donna, sung many things both

5. But we hauve nut yet done with the mu~ical
amuseents it was our good fortune to stuamble upon

6. A word car the press. We bad the satisfaction

hat its onward career will be equal to tho highest
mxpectations of its distinguishcd editor and proprio

tnd prosperity to thee- and thine, "my old friend,

We had also the pleasure of seeing nueh of Mr.
RU.vv, of the Ifrus, who is staying at the Mills'
[louse where we stop d while down.
But our limits adm ish us that we must hasten on
to glance at other matters.
7. Business in Charleston is evidently in a state of
stagnation. The wheels are turning very slowly.
And yet there is but little alarm, and scarcely any
sueing. This latter fact we have from a member of
the bar. The disposition on every side is, to ease off
the pressure as gently as may be possible. While all
are more or less cramped in their moneyed resources,
but few have chosen the unfeeling alternative of tax
ing the unlucky debtor with the costs of a suit at law'
The generil course of creditors is that of forbearance
and encouragement. Pnce the cheerful appearance
of almost every one you. meet, in the business tho
roughfares as well as upon the fashionable prome
nades. The debtor is happy in the opportunity of
redeeming his credit by economy and a close atten
tion to the business of his calling; and the creditor
is happy (and is it not a happiness to every right
mind ?) in affording that opportunity to honest indus
try. In this respect, the city of Charloston is setting
a noble example to the State at large. Let it be fol
lowed in every District and town, and the hard times
will pass over, and secIreely a family be found with
cause to lament their hard fortune.
8. The Sabbath is more generally and becomingly
observed in Charleston, than in any place, large or
small, we have ever visited. Early in the inorning of
that blessed day, the bells of the various churches
sound the call to worship ; and soon the side-walks
are filled with church-goers of every age, sex and con
dition. The remarkably correct demeanor of the on
tire population, in this iiniversal recognition of relig
tous duty, Is well calcufated to impress every stranger
with an adequate idea of the high morality which pre
vails in Charleston life. We remember hearing a
venerable gentleman say of New Orleans some years
ago, that "It was surely a God-forsaken place." How
different with Carolina's Queen City? And how hon
orable the contrast in her favor ?

LATER FROM -EUROPE.
The last intelligence from Europe is by the Canada.
The Leviathan would soon te launched. The lire of
Napoloon was again attempted, without success. The
Queen of Spain had accepted the mediation of France
and England in the difficulty with Mexico. Cotton
had slightly deelinead, except as to the lower qualities.
P. S. Itis rumored that cotton had again advanced,
upon what authority we are unable to say.
POLITICS.
Owing to various hindorances, we have been pre
vented from communing politically with our readers
for a month or two. Suffice it to say for the presents
that J.turs Brci.ms is still our polar star, whether
in the matter of Kansas or of Nicaragua. We follow
him not blindly, but with our eyes fully open to his
staunch, constitutional, Sutahera position before the
country. When he changes that position, we change
the measure of our confidence in him,-but not till
then.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
pgt The Editor of the Carolinian, at the conclu
sion of a well written article on Cotton, says:
" We believe that cotton will not get above its pres
cat p~ricc, and we think it thy interest of the planter
to sell when ten cents can be had."
$3" A letter from Florida, dated the 8th inst.,
sas: "It hams been very warm all winter; peach
trees are in full bloom, and all kinds of trees are out
like May. People are very busy gardening."
fa The Cheraw (S. C.). IBuase -leernur
large planter in the vicinity of Cheraw, that his cot
ton stalks have not yet been killed. This is a very
good indication that the winter has been an unusually
mild one.
fe The last legislature cf Georgia passed an act
peritting every white cisizen of that State, male or
female, being the head of a fiamily, to hold and pea.
ses, free from levy iand sale, one farm horse or mule.
without regard to the value of the same.
37 He who marries for beauty only, is like a
buyer of cheap' furniture-the varnish that caught
the eye will not endure the fireside blaze.
pD- There is a shop kept by an old maid in New
York, in the windows of which appear those words,
" No reasuonab~le offer refused."
pr A militia oflicer in Texas boasts, through the
paers, thant his smen " wvouldl rally at thme tap of the
drom." Perhsaps they would rally still more prompht
ly at the tapping of a keg.
gg? The b.anks of the city of New Orleans now
hold in round figures ten millions of cuin against
three millions sixty days ago. The dlelured state
ment t wo years since showedi a larger amount, but
the Peagiue does not think the actual qjuantity of
specie was so great as now.
gg The Spartanburg E.rprcss says: "As it is now
the proper seaison for planting out shade trees, wre
hope our town authorities will not neglect the oppror
tuity of supplying places within their jurisdiction
which are in great need of them."
We, oaf Edgefield, also call the attentio~n of our "City
Fathers" to this important duty, and would respect
fully urge them to give the matter mature considlera
tion forthwith.
pa- We are struck with the following simile and
think it worthy of observation : " The mind of a bigo
is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you throw
upon it, the mor'e it contracts."
ph-It is denied that Mile Rachel. the well-known
trugdieinne, ever became a Roman Cisthiolic. She
continued to the last steadfast to the faith of her
Fathers. She wiis a Jewess.
pa Dr. Brandreth, the pill man, who recently
rhiased a ruby for $250, has been offered $1,700
for the samse, as it proves to be an Oriential ruby of
the first water.
pa- The last and m'ost approved inethod of get
tinug rid of rats, is the following: A rat, having been
aught alive, is dipipedi into strong spiirits; anid, a
lighted ninteh haring been applied, it is turnedi loose
aongst its comrades where its cries and appearance
so terriry them, thiit they soon leave the plaen uand
never return.
*5g- Scarlet flinnel petticoats are now all the rage
acos the water." Queen Victoria introduced them
into London about two years ago, and this year they
ane been adopted by the Empress Eugenic.
pg Speaking of the Rio Grande, a writer says:
l maginse one of the crookedest things in the world ;
:hen imagine four more'twicens crooked; and picture
:o yourself a large river, three times as crooked as all
:hose put together ; and you have a faint idea of the
>rooked disposition of this crooked river."
pa Jenny Lind, it is said, has given away up
yards of one hundredl and fifty thousand pounds
terling during her professional wanderings in Europe
and America.
pf The Charlestown Advertiser says, a whale was
Iriven ashore at Nahant a few days since andl upon
>neing cut open a pair of boots marked "J," were
'ound in his entrails. It is supposed that the hoots
elonged to Jonah, and wcre taken off and left be
sind by accident, when he made his exit from the
sig fish.
KIDPINc.-Some time last week (says the
'lercury, of Thursday,) informations was commu
ited to our police force that a free man of
olor had decoyed three servants from their maa
er, Dr. Hall, of Rocky Creek, Fairfield district.

CHMARLESTON COREESPONDENCE.
CHARLESTON, January :;0, 1858.
Our musical community are in perfect cestacies over
the delicious treat they have been enjoying with the
inimitable Thalberg and his gifted colleagues. These
world renowned Artists fully realized the high expec
tations raised In advance of their coming. The three
Concerts at the Iustitute Hall brought out the most
brilliant audieuces ever witnessed iu Charleston. The
great Pianist is a complete master of his instrument,
as the deafening applause of his auditors from night
to night, amply evinced. Vieuxtemps Is equally un
surpassable, whenever he " takes down the fiddlo and
the bow." The Vocalists, Big. Lehman, Madame
Johansen and Miss Kemp, are valuable adjuncts in
their exquisite Ballads, Duetts and Cavatinas. They
are expected to return to the City after visiting Co.
lumbia and Savannah, and will give two more Con
certs on Monday and Tuesday evening, at the Hiber
nian Hall. The "hard times" did not prevent our
devotees of sweet sounds from paying $1,50 for "re
served seats," nor did those who were disposed to re
serve the extra half dollar for some future occasion,
complain of the inconveniences ayd discomforts of
the "dollar seats," so they were enabled to get with
in hearing distance. In consequence of these and
numerous other attractions offering during the week,
our annual visitors have come to the City at an unu
sually early period. The season of Concerts, Balls
and Parties, Lectures and Exhibitions has already
commenced, and the Races next week will bring down
the balance of our country friends. There are one or
more parties or soirees, public or private, in prepara
tion almost nightly, and in every house where there
are "young pe-ple" who take part In the "pomps
and vanities of this wicked world," you will find
Cards with the inscription: "Mrs. - -, No.
- Street, at home - evening - inst., at -
o'clock." A superficial observer would perhaps infer
from appearances that our worthy matrons must be
"great gad-abouts," when the circumstance of being
"at home," on a single evening of the week is suffi
ciently worthy of note to be blazoned abroad on
printed circulars to a whole circle of friends and ad
mirers as " an event !" But this id not a just infer
ence. We have many excellent mamas who are real
ly " discreet, keepers at home, not given to wine, and
love their husbands" as St. Paul commands; but the
little "Young Americas " of the household, who have
actually entered upon their teens and finished school,
must, of necessity, "come out this winter," and poor
dear mama must emerge from her Rip Ynn Winkle
hermitage of twenty years, to " matronic " the sweet
children, and see that they don't get into mischief
a most unthankful undertaking by the way, which
naught but a mother's blind partiality could recog
nize as practicable in these "fust " days of juvenile'
precocity and prematurity.
The first St. Cecilia Ball comes off on Tuesday eve
ning next at St. Andrew's Hall. The Jockey Club
Ball on Friday evening 5th. On the 9th the Aebnur
Terpsichorean Association hold their second Soiree of
the season. These public Balls, with innumerable pri
vate Soirees and "tea-fights," will wake up business
in the retail Dry Goods line ; for a ditferent dress and
accompanying " fixings," must be provided for each,
and kind papas can go any lengths in "hard-times,"
it being considered discourteous to send in a bill, and
ridiculous to ask for the money, " while the Banks are
doing nothing !"
The marriage of the Princess Royal with Prince
Frederick William of Prussia, was celebrated here by
a beautiful display of flags from the shipping in our
harbor, and a grand reception in the evening at the
residence of 11. B. M. Consul, Robert Bunch, Esq.,
whicb, I understand, was a very handsome entertain
ment, and was attended by a large company, in which
various national costumes and uniforms were brilliant
ly represented.
The English Opera Troupe at the Theatre had
strong obstacles to work against during Thalberg's
visit. They nevertheless performed to crowded hou
ses, and created a decided sensation. It is not often
that we are favored with the advent of a genuine
English Opera Company. Connoisseurs in music
speak of the Prinma Donna, Miss Durand in lofty ex
pressions of praise, both as regards grace and beauty
of person, and the exquisite melody of her voice.
.ia uaerening-altm~courseiurobntiton or
their respective Series by R1ev. Dr. Burnap, R1ev. Mr.
Deunison and Rev. J. L. Glirardean, (the latter before

congregations.
This is the season of Anniversaries of various So
cieties and Companies. To-ilay the South Carolina
Jockey Club hold their annual meeting. On Monday
the Charleston & Caroilina Gans Companies. Tuesday
the Charleston Mechanic Society. Wednesday the
South Carolina Medical Association.
An accident occurred on the Race Course a few 'lays
since, in a trial of speed between two racers-one of
the horses tripped and fell, sustaining a serious inju
ry, atnd the rider Icing thrown, was though'lt at first
to be dlangerously hurt, but is now recovering. It
will be very fortunate if this should not prove to be
the forernuner of a chapter of accidents, as is usually
the e'ase during rnee week.
Burglars and incendliaries are following :as usual
clouse in the advance of thu race week. It is a com
miin occurrence for houses to lbe enteredl and robbed
while the family arc umt supper or entertaining visitors.
Fires are becoming frequent. Two supposed incendli
ary attempts were madie on Wednesday upon Livery
Stables. situatedl in populous p'arts of the City. One
was entirely consumied and two nob'le horses burned
to death, besides several vehicles totally destroyedl.
In a few dnays the place will lbe for a week or two the
head-quarters 'if fashion ud rase:dity-two, cunipan-|
ions who carry on a rather too close intimaey for the
welfare of society. It is to be hoped that our young
friendls who come dlown to the City to spend their
lose cash will not b~e too glib in showing it about, as
whlat with pimps anti pick-pockets, andl spongers, they
will findl Ihe Washington Race Course rather "a hard
road to travel."

29th of January last, ELIZA HASSELTINE, infant
daughter and only child of JEssE and Hs.nRIRTTA F.
GoUILLION, aged nine months and twenty days.
DEPARTED this life, Dec. 31st 1857, at the residence
of her husband in Edgetleld District, South Carolina,
in the seventieth year of her age, Mrs. EVE GARD
NER, consort of Mr. Jox GARDNR, and daughter
of Mr. Martin Taylor, a Revolutionary soldier.
She was born in Newberry District, S. C., April 2nd
1787; moved #o Edgefleld with her brother David
about 47 years ago; and was married April, lst 1829.
She was Baptized into the fellowship of Little Ste
vens' Creek Baptist Church, by the Rev. B. Manly,
nearly 45 years past. She moved her membership
to Gilgal; from thence to Mountain Creek, whore she
remained a consistent member till her death.
She was afflicted with a chronic sore for more
than four years previous to her death; and finally,
was seized with the Dropsy of the Chest which tor
minated her existence. She was truly a devoted
Christian, an affectionate wie, an indulgent mistress,
and a kind benefactress of the poor. She was indeed
a subject of much and severe afflictions; but endured
them with the most Christian fortitude repeatedly
saying "Not my will, but the Lord's be done-all
the days of my ppointed time will I wait till my
ebange come.
She has left a disconsolate husband and many
friends and relations to mourn her loss; but their
loss is her eternal gain. "Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, sayeth the
Spirit, they rest from their labors, and their works
do follow them." A Fum-an.
Dan, in this Village, on Thursday evening the

CRAWFORD, in the 42nd year of his age.
He possessed an aniable disposition, a warm and
generous heart, and bore with Christi'an fortitude the
severe afflictions he had to pass through. Never was
a murmur or complaint heard to escape his lips, but
he often expressed his willingness to die, humbly
trusting in the meritA of a Crucified Redeemer. He
was perfectly sensible to the last-slpoke calmly of
his upproaching dissolution; and a few hours befo&e
he died requested his sister to send for his friends
that he might bid then farewell. Whilst sinking in
the cold embrace of Death and no longer able to
speak, lie would hold out his j.eble hand to his sym
pathising friends who stood around his bed-side, and
gently piress their hands in token of his undying af
fection and gratitude for their kindness to him.
Thus he passed away with the old year, and e're the
glad New Year dawned on earth his happy spirit hail
winged its way to the God that gave it. Peace to thy
nahes, and eternal happiness to thy immortality !
