This was a very " Mother in Israel" in her section of country-Mt. Willing. Mrs. Crouch departed this life at hor old home on the 3rd instant, aged 75 years. During ?he last two or three years of hor Hie the Lord retired her from active ser vice, and called upon her to testily to the power of divine grace by patience, obe dience, submission, under affliction. She suffered much, but, like pure gold, she stood the tct as to whether she would couiide.iu her God. Her aim for mauy years was to do God's will ; aud it seems that sho chose both ways-active obedi ence, and then "To lie passive in His hand. And kuow no will but His." Death of Mrs. Eliza Denny. This venerable and honored lad j-, the wife of Capt. Johu Denny, Seu'r., and the sister of the lato Mark Etberedge, Esq., died at Clintonward, ou Saturday last, and was buried at the old Rutland place on Sunday. For a year or more past, with her aged husband, she had lived at Clintonw?rd with her daughters, Mrs. Little and Mrs. Kidson. She was the mother of our esteemed fellow citi zens, Messrs. John, Akck and Pickens Denny. Her age could not have been lesa than seventy-five years. She was almost a lifelong member of the Baptist Church, aud was over active in all efforts to do good. She was universally be loved ; and it is said that the oonoo ni se of mourning friends that followed her body through the country to its last rest ing place was without a parallel iu pri vate life.

AULTMAN ?fe Co., Canton, Ohio, will furnish farmers who need either a Bind er, Combined or Single Self Raking Reaper, Dropper, or Mower, with such machines as' they require. The solid merits of the grain and grass-cutting machines manufactured by C. Aultman <fe Co. have made the Buckeye a house hold word in every civilized land. At every World's fair it has borne away tho highest honors. It has been absent trout no great competitive field-trial during the past twenty-fl ve years, and the Buck eye has not failed in a single instance to carry off the highest prize over all com petitors. These facts conclusively prove the superiority of the mechauism of th9 Buckeye, and there are few corners in the land where there are not Buckey 3 Mowers and Reapers whose owners will vouch for their surpassing durability. No labor-saving machino bas ever gained such a splendid reputation in tho harvest tiela! as the Buck eve Twine Bind er. As to durability, easy draft, good balance, convenience in handling, relia bility in good binding, separation, and freedom from side draft and from all tho vexations and stopages that mark tho conduct of other hinders in the field, there is perfect unanimity of testimony on the part of the purchasers of Buck eyes that the machine is without a peer in the binder field. We take great pleasure iu commend ing the Buckeye Binder, so confident are we of the satisfaction it will render, and wo most respectfully invite all our larm er friends to carefully examine the claims of the Buckeye before ordering a bindei for next ses3on's work.

It ha ,n to all appearance lain in the water fe ;d aeveral days, the body being terribly mu tilated. Near it in the water was a ver 9tnall batteau, turned over on it9 aide. J was well made, and thoroughly pitched inside. The supposition is, that the un fortunate waif was placed in the batteau alive, and Btarted down the river, on its lonely and- dangerous voyage, and that the boat was upset in the ledge just above where it was found, and the child drowned' P.

Particularly lovely was the crowning of the May Queen. We have seldom seen this beautiful and time honored ceremony more tastefully per formed.
