JU. B. Cn}. "We were . shocked and saddened}' ou Saturday nrornifrg last, by. the news -which came to our home, io the ally morning, of the death of Slr..L. B GAT. The very day before he had been in thc discharge his. usual;ditties, was aeon on "the'street airer the close of the tf y, and went to his room at bed time. But re even, the midnight hour had come, he !ay a lifeless corpse. He was found Dost moruing, stiff and cold, with his clothing on, ou die floor of his room, indicating a fearful stroke of apoplexy, which fell upou him inmediately as he entered his toora, and hurried his life swiftly away. !l)ow fearfully sudden, iike , dues death present itself, and how solemn the warning it sounds in th are of thc living. A Jury of Inquest was. summoned, . M. HURST, ? Esq., Coroner, the verdict ol which was "That deceased came to his death ny apoplexy." Mr. GAY was of Northern birth and education, had made Sautter his home fora period aute dating thc war several years, and had been a resident of thc State, wc believe, for some time prior to his coming into our midst. Ile was aman of scholary attainments ai-d of very considerable and various reading. At one time he filled with Usefulness a Professorship of thc Oratiireburg .Female College, where he was much esteemed. Soon after he came to Sumter, he prepared himself for the bar and formed a Law partnership with Messrs. J. S. C. RICHARDSON and A. C. SPAIN (able abd leading Attorneys of the towu) under the name of SPAIN, RICHARDSON k GAY, which continued until alter thc beginning of the war, and until he voluntarily ' took up arms a? 3 private .-oldier in defeucc of his adapted Slate and South. Inuring his lon? period of service, and until the last gun was fired, under Johnson and Sherman ia North Caro lina, ho was a true and faithful soldier ot the Southern cause, returning to Sumter in company with us, io regular order of parole, alter the complete arrangement of capitulation at Greens boro Kuttiing the army as a private soldai, lie did UOt>liirk the hard Julies incidrtit to the position, (though for a lime detailed in the department ol'the fjuattrmastcr) much of thc time taking the regular routine cf the camp and service o the gaos .n the fit-id, and coding hi* service after all the lon^r. wasting and tedious retreat matching and counter marching-from the Carolina coast to and through North Carolina, performed .by ii i m ou foot. Ul tli.;> we know and speak as his officer in command much of thc time to which wo allude. At the time of his death, and anterior thereto for a considerable period, he was the writer of the editorial matter of the co utum* of the S ti tnt rr X ics, and the teacher of a school of boys. lu hi* political feeling and principles, Mr G.\y was strongly iVroocratio and Souillera, cliugiug with remarkable tenacity to the constitution of the country, when scarcely a shred of it re mains, and declaring, constantly, opto the boor of his death, that that once poient :egis of thc people's liberties must Lc restored. In heart be was kind, inhabit companionable, peaceable and courteous, and he sit;:cs rhus with fear lui suddenness to the grave, lamented Ly many frieods. His fanerai services, solemn and im pressive, were performed by Itev. Pit. MCQUEEN, in the presence of a consid erable number of our most respectable and intelligent.citizens, and on Sunday morr.itig last his remains were interred ia our Town Cemetery. Death of Dlr. Jolin B. Brogdon. Another good citizen passed away in the death of Mr. JOHN B. BROODON, which occurred at his residence, nine miles South of Sumter, on the 20th inst. ADout two'years ago, in the vigor an I strength of hie manhood, a heavy stroke'pf paralysis fell upon him, the effects of which kept him constantly Confined to his bouse. Another stroke came upon him on the night of thc 19th, frjtn which he was speechless in a few moments, and which brought death early the following morning. He had tfWain d b'is Gth'y ar, and leavesa di - coneoiate widow and thirteen children to mourn his loss, to whom we extend our warmpst sympathies. *&~ The Fair, by the ladies of the baptist Church, some time sioce noticed by ns, it will be seen from advertisement printed io this issue, will commence oo -Munday Dfcxt, with o dinner. We wish the good ladies much saecess, and doubt not their praiseworthy efforts in behalt f 'heir Church,iritl'meet a liberal re> ponsc. XovCti Stock.' Maj. J. W. DAROAN, ai appears from tlie uotice priDtod on another .column, has been appointed agent for tie sale of the "Town i'tock" now put on the mar ket. We regard the investment as sound and judicious, and haye been pleased tn observe that our Municipal Authorities have at length, determined to resort to this legalized and practica ble method of raising money, where with greatly needed improvements may be realized, the debt of the town put in reliable form, and the pressure for increased taxation relieved ; (for these three desirable ends we believe attaina ble, by a judicious management 0/ the j scheme now on foot.) We trust that those who have money to invest will promptly take up the j stock offered. Common School* of Samter We learn that thc local (town) Conn mou School, for white children, has been reorganized, under thc management and instruction of the Misses HATCH, who arc competent to teach any grade. The building used is thc former residence of Mrs. Francis, on Blanding St. At present twenty eight pupils are in attendance, sud the number may be increased to sixty or seventy. For admission, ap plication may be made at the school, or j to either of the Trustees. We also learn that it is the purpose of the Trustees to rebuild the burqt Academy, at an early day, with the view of establishing a Grammer School for boys and young men. We further ltarn that there are DOW upwards of forty Common Schools, (part of them white and part colored) in operation within thc limits of the county. Some of these of which we know, are io the hands of excellent teachers, and doing much good in the cause of education. And this argues attention and efficiency on the part of thc School Commis.-.ioncrs and Trustees throughout the County. A Complete Change In Forty Year*. Our attention has been ca ed to thc fact that thc present remodeling of the law office on Main Street, so long occu pied by Messrs. F, J. cc M. MOSES, changes the original form of the last building on ihe sired, as they stood forty years ago Nothing now rcmaius to ..identify the buildings ol'thc street as they stood at that time-the change is complete. And in that time ivhat other changes have come ! How fer o those then here on the stage of active hie now remain What of those good old homespun days, when, of all the dwellings' of Sumter, but a singlo one sported a carpeted floor? Of the ''Muster days" and '-Court time.-.':'" There Lave come changes iu deed !
