Death of Mr. Samuel B. M issey.
Our community nun greallv shocked
on 'fhnraday morning lust at the announcement
of tlie death of Mr. Samuel
11. MasseY, on the night previous, (the
lltli inst .) after an illness of n few hours
* j
lie was seen upon the street and at his ]
place of business on the morning c?r '.lie I
14th. flnnnrpntlv i?? Kia nunul iiuoltK I
comparatively few in tlie community knew
of his illness until aftei the s nrtlmg an
nouncemetit of his death. The disease
Cf winch he died, the physicians nay. resembled
much a case of genuine Asiatic
Cholera.
Mr. Masses was a prominent and most
useful citizen, always identified with
movements calculated to Advance the in
terest of his native District. In early life
he wis a member of tlio legal profession
and practiced a number of years at lite
Lancaster liar. Retiring from the Liw,
he devoted his attention fo Irs planting
inteos:*, which wits quite extensive, and
fhr the last six or eight years tho business
of merchandizing has shared a part of
his lab* T*. In lite course of h;s life, he
represenle 1 the District in the Stale Legislature
am! in various other important (
ami honorable relations, and always with |
efficiency and fidelity. Few men possess
a spirit of inoro genuine benevolence
than he did. His position, wealth and
influence were always freely extended
when asked in tho intere-t of truth or
for the rel ef of tho needy. The poor of
0k t
the District, especially during the trying
ordea! of tho late war, received ample
testimonials of his liberality and goodness
of heart. Selfishness formed no part of
his nature, and there are perhaps few who
shared his acquaintance, who have not.
ih one way or another, had persona] ex'
pcrietico oi ins liberal, benevolent and
hospitable disposition, lis de>th is a
public calamity, and the evidence of bis
many virtues will long survive in tlte
hearts of the people of Canons'er.
Oi?r Town AuthoritiesIt
is very evident, that nolens the Town
Council exercise the authority delegated
under their Charier, they are nothing 1
le*s than a nuisance, as a l>odv, to So- '
ciety, and should so he reported bv the '
Grand Jury. The importance of Iihv 1
iifg men of responsibility and energy at '
the head of a(Fairs, even in the small mat '
lor of local authority, is highly necessary '
to the interest ol all concerned. At oar "
local atfairs have heon governed for the 1
last eight or ten years, the question mav (
very reasonably occur, could we not fare '
Lfelter under the old rule of Commission '
ers of roads. Beyond the collection ><( (
taxe'a, ( ? ttialter generally enfor e-l) there '
se. tits (o he no ol! erduly tliat impresses
itsolf upon this Lo iy? with the exception 1
of turning over a clcd of dirt on front ' '
street occasionally. Tltey hare sullered \
their ordinances to lo violated hy every
drunken loafer aqd vagabond negro who
wishes to parade the streets in any style '
which may suit Ihoir fancy. . In fact, we '
know of hut one instance within our rec !
ollection, where the transgressor was
brought to . justice But, enough I If,
it were not for the fact, that rohherv, i
rowdyism and drunkenness,have grown to ;
he evils in our midst, too intolerable to
be borne, and dangerous to our welfare,
wo would let the present authorities, like
their predecessors, pass out of existence
without remark. But, such is the state 1
or anaira hi hum lime, Ami a likelihood
of a worse during the Chriatmaa'holidnTa '
that urgent necessity demands that some '
thing should be done to eradicAte the '
evils ; And if our town Authorities are '
dead to the interests of their charge and '
themselves, ?a ndvise the people to lake 1
the mailer in hat.d. Our laws are snffT* '
cient ; the powers delegated under the I
Charter aro ample; all that is needed, is
energy, ar.d a disregard foT the faror of .
the violators of law.
Failure* i
The late act:on of the Legislature in 1
roferer.co to pr< curing supplies of com
for the dest'tuto has resulted, as might
have 1-een anticipated, in a complete fail
tire. It conhl not have been exmcted to

"When Sherman's army pa?sed
