 Died, on the 14^th., an infant son of S.I. and A. A. RUDD, aged 3 months and 17 days.

 

Lift up my suffering, O Lord,

Let grief my soul no longer bow,

Thou grievest us with an all wise intent,

Though missed and mourned my child must be,

This deep affliction thou hast sent,

Shall closer bind my heart to thee.

 

Sweet words of comfort I have read,

‘Till hope, sublimest faith, become

What Jesus in Judea said,

 

When children for his blessing come,

Yet last and loved through coming years,

How many sighs must uttered be,

How many silent thoughts and tears.

 

In the cold grave, without a stain,

When the long night shall pass away.

Most Holy, Merciful and Just,

Be my complaining heart forgiven;

To thee I have yielded my darling trust,

DIED, on the 19^th inst., of consumption, MARY JANE, aged 20 years, daughter of Mrs. Jane MOFFETT, and niece of the editor of this newspaper.

 But a few months since this young person was in our midst, enjoying the blessings of health and hope, but the disease, which had, perhaps, for years been gnawing at her lungs, developed itself with fearful rapidity, and terminated in death.  In her last hours she manifested a living faith in her Savior, and declared her entire confidence in her prospect of happiness beyond the grave. Her friend although they severely feel their loss, re consoled with the refection that it is her eternal gain.

 

DIED, on the 25 th., instant, WILLIAM C. SMITH, ESQ., aged 44 years, of cholera.

 Mr. SMITH, was one among the numbers of our high minded honorable citizens, just in all his dealings, charitable to the poor, faithful to his friends, and an affectionate husband and parent, and we believe a sincere Christian. His death was sudden, but of its approach he was sensible, and, without fear or dismay, made deliberately preparation for the event, making his will, and giving directions for his funeral, retaining his sense almost to the last breath.

  His Masonic brethren were prevented from burying him with the ceremony of the order, as they intended and wished to do, but in their hearts he is held in affectionate remembrance.

OBITUARY

Died, yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Mr. BENJAMIN SMITH, in the 68^th year of his age.

  Mr. Smith immigrated to this county from the State of Ohio, about thirteen years ago, and had been a resident of this town during that term, he has always distinguished himself in a straight forward, upright and independent course of conduct. He was an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and a constant attendant on its ministrations. He always remembered “the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” and it distressed him to see the day desecrated by secular and worldly employments or sports. In dealings he was scrupulously just and punctual. When called to render us his account it may be truly said he did it “with joy and not with grief.”

  Mr. Smith was a man of large stature, possessing uncommon health and strength for a person of his age, until within a few months past, for the last four weeks he sank rapidly with an affection of the lungs, but had some weeks notice of his approaching dissolution, but qualified not the thought of death, he rather murmured at its delay, and at last he met his end in the triumph of a Christian’s faith, with full assurance of a blessed immorality.

ENGLAND – The libel suit of D. Archille, against D. Newman, who charges Archide, an apostate Roman priest, with numerous seductions, debauchries etc. has terminated with a verdict of guilty of one charge only.

Obituary

DIED, on the 13^th inst., in the 56 year of his age, of Consumption, at his residence in Spencer County, Ia., Bro. Garnet Haynes. He bore with Christian fortitude his protracted illness. The deceased was an acceptable member of the Methodist Church and a devoted Christian. His faith was unshaken in all sickness, his hope was “as an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast,” his love to God and man was ardent and his joy uninterrupted and complete to the last. The faithful pilgrim has run his race, the bold and intrepid soldier has won his crown and now enjoys “that real that remaineth to the people of God.”

On my return, one week thereafter, I found her much prostrated from disease, but still entertained hopes of her recovery, and was informed by Dr. Elliott, my assistant, that you had been notified through Mrs. Smith, of Mrs. B.’s illness.

  On Saturday morning (13^th inst) I notified you per telegraph, and on Tuesday following, repeated my fears that she could not live, and on Thursday notified you of her death, as before stated. Her strength enfeebled by age, had become much impaired by the severity of the attack of mental disease, and could make but a feeble resistance to the complaint that terminated her life.

  I feel that all was done for her in her last illness that skill and kind attentions could do. In my absence, Dr. Elliot called the best counsel in hr case that the city affords, but as the event has shown, to no purpose. Death had marked her for his own.

For the last few days, we have been looking for you here almost hourly, ………

 

DIED, in this place, on the 22^nd inst, of pneumonia, Mr. William Peerce. Aged 21.

  The deceased was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and beloved by all who knew him. He was taken sick while returning to this place, and on landing was only able to walk to the residence if Robert Stewart, Esq., where he died the following day. Every assistance possible was rendered by the family of Mr. Stewart, and the friends in town.

Obituary

Died, On Saturday afternoon, the 15^th inst., after a protracted illness, Hon. REZIN WAER, in the 40^th year of his age.

  In the death of Judge Waer, we have lost a valuable citizen, but one ever ready to espouse and combat for the side deemed in the right, either on morals, religion or politics. Charitable to the poor, he was ever ready with a helping hand, to assist the needy or deserving, he was exemplary as a Christian, maintaining a far standing in the Methodist church, as a Son of Temperance, he was indefatigable in his labors, and publicly lectured against the baleful traffic in intoxicating liquors, and strenuously endeavored by precept and example to extend far and wide, morality and religion, Judge Waer, was buried on Sunday, the 14^th inst., with all the ceremony and pageantry of the Order.

From the Fort Wayne Times,

Died, in this city, on Thursday last, at the residence of her brother in law, John Hough, Esq., Miss JANE MARKLE, late of Oxford, Ohio, aged 22 years.

  Her funeral was numerously attended at the 1^st Presbyterian Church, on Friday, P.M., on which occasion Rev. Mr. RAY, of the 2^nd Church, preached from the text, “The Memory of the just is blessed.” In conclusion, he remarked in substance as follows:

  “I have been requested not to speak much in praise of the deceased. It is not necessary for me to do so. Others have already praised her, and that, too, without waiting for death to consecrate her virtues, and to prompt their eulogy.  Others shall continue to praise her, for she shall illustrate the truth of the text, as also another sacred proverb, ‘A woman that fearth the Lord, she shall be praised.’

  “The deceased had not merely negative qualities, and it, would be too little to imitate the eulogy of an ancient Greek, by asking, “Who can say anything against her?”

Obituary

Died, in Rockport, Ia., on the 21^st inst., at the residence of James T. Morgan, Esq., Mr. Thomas Lamb, of Perry County. Ia. The attack was violent and dangerous from the first, and despite the efforts of an experienced and skillful physician, in a few days, the disease proved fatal. For the consolation of his relatives and friends, we can vouch that every attention was paid to the deceased during his illness. Not only by his physician and neighbors, but especially by his kind and affectionate sister, and his brother in law, Esq. Morgan.

  During his short sojourn with us here, and from his moral, upright, and gentlemanly conduct while among us, the most favorable impressions have been made upon our minds. We sincerely tender our most ardent sympathies to his relatives and acquaintances in their deep affliction.

 

  “What sounds of grief in sadness tell,

  A brother’s earthly doom,

  No more in life’s fair scenes to dwell,

  A tenant of the tomb!

 No more friendly hand now pressed,

 No gently whispered word,

  He finds a long unbroken rest,

  Where rules his heavenly Lord.

 

  All earthly joys and sorrows o’er

  Each changing hope or fear.

 He sees the light of that fair shore,

  Without a sigh or tear.

  Then brings to him whose holy care,

 They better Temple forms,

  Our wish that all may gather there,

  Beyond life’s coming storms.

                       His Brethren

Departed this life in Rockport on the evening of July 17, 1849, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Charles V. and Mary Ann Peirce, aged nine years, four months, and twenty-four days.

“Dearest sister thou hast left ud,

Here they loss we deeply feel;

But ‘tis God that hath bereft us,

He can all our sorrows hel/

 

Yet again we hope to meet three

When the storms of life are past,

Then in heaven, with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tears are shed.”

The Late Murder – We have just received the Dayton, (O) Bulletin, in which we find an editorial notice of the Coroner’s descrip-tion of the young woman found in the box some time ago.; from the determination, it is supposed the deceased is from that vicinity. The paper contained a piece of mous de laine, which has been compared with the dress of the deceased, and are not alike. It may be proper to mention that the Coroner provided shroud, etc., and had all he clothing of he deceased and washed and ironed and deposited with he treasurer of the Count, where they can be examined, by any person taking an interest in so doing. The murder is not supposed to have been committed in this county; as a gentleman and lady at Troy, 20 miles above saw a box in the river that morning, which it is supposed is the same; this box was brought ashore some thing over half way from toy to Rockport. No tidings of her murderer, nor any sign of discovery has yet transpired. We will give to the Bulletin and family of Emily, from time to time all the information we can possibly obtain.

OBITUARY

High C. Burkhart, son of Christopher Burkhart, of Spencer County, died at the residence of his father, December 30^th, 1850, in the 20^th year of his age. His disease was Consumption. Its slow but sure progress gave him timely warning of his approaching dissolution, and he was not indifferent to the admonition thus given to be ready for death.

He had been brought up under religious instruction and knew that, however moral his former life had been, “he must be born again,” in order to inherit,. Like too many, he had neglected to seek the pearl of great price while in health. But in the early part of his sickness he sought and found the peace that passeth understanding. His joy thenceforth was indescribable. Instead of looking at death as the king of terrors he became almost impatient “to depart and be with Christ.” Hundreds who visited him, during the time which elapsed between his conversation and death, will long remember his faithful exhortations and the victory he had gained over the fell destroyer. An almost irresistible influence drew the aged and the young, the religious and the irreligious to his chamber. Few persons in this country, of any age or reputation, were ever visited on a death bed by more friends than he, during the same length of time. It was good for the religious to learn from his lips the sweetness of religion in a dying hour, and the unconverted, especially his youthful associates, loved to be admonished by one they loved so well, to prepare, for a similar death. Many were the vows there made, in his presence, hat they would seek the Lord. Let them who had not before been permitted to see a Christian die, it was singular to see him mark every stage of the disease, which indicated the approach of death, with the same feelings that the traveler marks each successive mile stone which tells him that the distance between him and home is rapidly and certainly decreasing. His end was not only peaceful but triumphant. Such may be the end of all, by obtaining the pardon of sin which gives death its sting.

Upon this a battle commenced between the two of the Turnbills and two of the Payne’s, with knives and clubs, first party being assisted by one or two women who came out of Turnbill’s house at the commencement.  The youngest Payne, son of the other, was killed on the spot, his body being dreadfully cut up. The father was reported dead from his injuries the next day. The elder Turnbull, also father and son, was reported mortally wounded by injuries on the head.

From the Grand River Eagle

(The Planter April 25, 1850, Vol. 3, No. 5, Pg 2)

GOLD ON THE YELLOW STONE

The Grand River Eagle has a letter which says, I have been credibly informed, and by good authority, that a man, some thirteen years ago, was taken by the Black Feet Indians, and has been kept in a measure confined in that region in hat region until a short time, when he effected his escape, bringing the glorious intelligence that that region abounds in the precious metal, bringing some 60 pounds of gold dust, taken from the surface, so pure that it is worth $14 to the ounce, whilst the pure is worth $16, making the amount of his burden, at the time he made his escape, at $14 the ounce, $13,440.

 I understand that the same individual is now in Chicago, raising companies, to be equipped with rifles, for the purpose of returning to the golden sands, to make a further exploration of the country; and for the benefit of said companies, has deposited in bank $3,000 to pay expenses of fitting out, &c.

Military stations are to be established and 160 acres of land will be given to every male over eighteen years of age, who shall settle on the line of said road or branches within twelve months after the Indian titles are extinguished, and pre-emption rights to the same extent to those who shall afterwards settle.

 The bill also provides for surveys and examinations as to he best route, and for the completion of the common road in one year and the central road in seven years, after located.

 The use of the railway when furnished is granted to individuals or companies for a limited time, who shall contract to transport persons, mails, munitions of war, and freights of all kinds, public and private, in vehicles furnished by themselves at such reasonable rates as may be agreed upon.
