Also, at the same place, of pneumonia, on the 16th Miss Julia Eliza Devane, eldest daughter of Mr John C Devane, after a brief illness of seven days, at the age of 19 years.
Cut off in the very spring time of life, she has left a large circle of relations and friends who mourn their untimely bereavement. But she has lived as she wised to die, a sincere Christian; and she bore with the meekness and fortitue of one who felt that she had her treasure laid up in heaven. Never was a murmer permitted to escape her lips, from the time she was stricken down, till the moment when death set his cold icy seal upon her mortal existence forever.
From the moment she became aware that she must die, she never ceased her admonitions to her brothers and sisters to prepare, to rejoin her in heaven, to whose blessed mansions, she said, she was going. She said repeatedly that she was willing to die; that she had the soul cheering consolationt hat she was about to meet her heavenly father in peace. She had attached herself to the baptist church, and evinced by her walk and conversation through life, that her religion, was of that character which affects the heart as well as the head. Through life she was an affectionate and obedient daughter, and a kind and loving sister.
It was truly remarked that she could say in language of Scripture "O death, where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory!"

Can we lay the dust on the sunny brow, and laughing lip, and yet send not forth one sound or echo, from the aching void within. No though vain all requiems and fruitless, the loud wail, yet over the grave of the loved, we must pour them forth and their virtues, memory must speak.
Lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in death not divided, life bore them together to their last earthly resting place, and as we placed them in earth's bosom, felt that there we laid beauty of spirit, of heart, and of life never surpassed. The desolate home, the silent fireside, and the sad hearts of their fond friends, bear record deep and dark, of treasures life can never bring again.

Murder
A most brutal murder as perpetrated in Duplin county on the 27th ult. under the following circumstances: Mr Henry Smith, residing near Strickland's Depot, had endeavored, on the evening previous to the commission of the murder, to whip some of his negroes for bad conduct, but they resisted, and he failed in correcting them. Next morning he started for a neighbor's house, a short distance from his own, for the purpose of obtaining assistance. Two of his negroes then working in a field close by, suspecting their master's object, followed him into a swamp through which he had to pass on this way to this neighbour's, and there literally beat him to death with a bludgeon. We understand one of the miscreants stook sentinel at the edge of the swamp, whils the other committed the horrid deed. Both of the negroes have been committed to Duplin jail. Mr Smith, we understand, was a respectable farmer and worthy citizen.

To a person who would like to engage in keeping a Public House, here is an opportunity to secure a favorable location to secure the patronage of passengers of the Rail Road. The house can be secured by lease for a term of years, and is so arranged that the proprietor could, and with proper inducements would, add to it so as to make it a valuable location. I will also sell to any person renting the house, all the furniture of the house, which is new and in good order.
Possession will be given immediately.

Drowned
On the 5th inst. Saturday last, a man was discovered floating on the surface of the river, near Barry & Bryant's wharf, in this town. When taken out of the water, it was discovered that he had been dead some time. The name of the unfortunate man was Benjamin Gauge, believed to be a native of Wake county. (We think he was from Raleigh.) Where he was drowned or under what circumstances has not yet been ascertained. A coroner's jury was summoned, but without eliciting any thing, we believe. The verdict of the jury was, "that the deceased came to his death by drowning." This, if we are not mistaken, is the fourt man who has been drowned in our river during the last few months.

To the Public
Information Wanted - Francis Jones, recently died in the Parish of Iberville, Louisiana, leaving no heirs of his body in that state. He left considerable property and the object of this publication is to ascertain who are entitled to the succession fund: who are his heirs. It is supposed that Mr Jones was a native of Wilmington NC, and that he removed from this place in boyhood, leaving behind him parents, and brothers and sisters. He died at an advanced age, and of course must have been a long while absent from this place. This is a matter of importance to the heirs of the deceased Mr Jones as he left considerable property.

Married
In this town on the 8th inst by the Rev Dr Drane, Ex Governor Edward B Dudley to Mrs Jane Cowan.
At Wrightsville Sound on the 4th Mr William Connoway to Miss Lavinia Flannegan. The parties forthwith adjourned to the Banks to pass the money moon and enjoye the fishing season.

Died
In this town on the 9th inst after a protracted illness of more than a year, Miss Martha J Owen, eldest daughter of Genl James Owen, aged 33 years.
It is due to the memory of the deceased to say that few have discharged the relative duties of life with such entire satisfaction or have so universally secured the warm regard and affectionate confidence of a large number of endeared friends. To the domestic cirle, of which she was the presiding angel, and upon whose counsel its members leaned with all the simplicity and affection of children, her loss is irreparable. By the Presbyterian Church, of which she has from early life been a consistent and active member, her death will be deeply felt. And over her grave many a tear will be shed by others, besides those of her own church, long after the green sod shall have grown upon it.
The hope that sustained her in life, formed the rock of her strength in the last trying hour. During her protracted and painful illness, not a murmur is known to have escaped her lips. She trusted in the merits of Jesus alone, for acceptance; and confidingly leaning upon the bosom of the beloved, she "breathed her life out sweetly there."
So fades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along the shore.

Death, in whatever from he makes his appearance - whether he strikes the young or the old - the rich or the poor - is an appaling visitor to the human family. But there are times and circumstances when his stroke is more severly felt than at others, and when, were it not for the sweet precepts of our holy faith teaches us, that "whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth," poor, weak, human nature would be inclined to quetion of this, has just occured in our midst. Louis Highsmith Esq a man loved and respected by all who knew him, was but a few days ago, the doting father of a young and promising family - today, the children of his love lie entombed in the silent grave. In one short week, his three boys, John Edmund, aged 8 years - David, aged 5 and Richard Morgan, aged 3 years - all that heaven had blessed him with - were cut off by the ruthless hand of death. Like the early flowers of spring, whose delicate foliage is nipped by an untimely frost, those sweet flowers of human hope, and human afflictions, have been all, all swept away by the hand of death.
The sympathy which this melancholy stroke of Providence has excited in our community is deep indeed. May heaven comfort the distressed father and mother, and enable them to bear this dispensation of Providence, with christian fortitude and meekness. - Upper Black River, New Hanover county, Sept 3

At his residence in this county, on the 30th ult Robert Henry Esq.
Mr Henry while in life won the esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and will be lamented most by those who knew him best. As a husband, friend and father, he was kind, social and humane, as a christian consistent and exemplary, as a neighbor obliging and charitable. He has left a wife and seven children, with a numerous circle of relatives and friends to mourn the irreparable loss.

In this county on the 7th inst, Aaron D Alexander, son of Chas H and Sarah Alexander, aged 4 years, 7 months and 25 days.

Died
In this county on the 23d ult of congestive fever, after a short illness of three days, Edward Eugene, the only son of Susan M and James B Pigford, aged 5 years and 5 months.
I saw a flower springing forth;
I saw it preparing to bloom;
But the early frosts of spring time,
Have carried it to the tomb.
Eugene you were a darling child -
The joy and the price of my life;
From you a look, or a laugh, or a smile,
Would quell the darkest strife.
Your body to the dust I resign -
Your spirt to God I will
Your stay, in this dreary world
Was quick, and short, and still.
Your blooming cheeks and rosy lips,
O never shall I forget;
Your sparkling eyes and flaxen hair
Are in my memory yet.
And shall remain as fresh and green,
As when lat I smoothed your brow
Upon the fevered pillow of death;
But your spirit is with Jesus now.

In Bladen county on the 12th ult Miss Emily Ann Russ, aged about 20 years.

The best tailor that has ever been connected with the trade in this place has quit the establishment of Chas.

No Hoax
Charles Barr
Cannot boast of being the best Tailor that has ever been connected with the trade in Wilmington, or of having made the grand tour, either of Europe or even of our own universal Yankee-doodledom, but he can say, without flattering himself, that he is a Master Workman, and although he has not graduated from  such splendid shops as Beau Bremmel or Count D'Orsay loved to patronize, yet he pledges himself that all who may honour him with their custom shall secure a regular built Southern fit; either Tights, Anti-Tights, or Medium-ites.
He will also warrant all work that goes from his store as being faithfully executed, and made up in a workmanlike style; and as he is in receipt of the earliest fashions he will be enabled to tickle the taste of the most fanciful fastidious.

The subscriber would take this mode of tendering to his friends - and friends in need they were - his deep and grateful thanks for the promptness with which they come to his assistance on the night of the fire. Living, as he does, at a distance from his Bar Room, had it not been for the disinterested kindness of his friends, he must have suffered deeply. Before, however, he reached the scene of action, his friends had removed every thing to a place of safety, and thot, too, so carefully that he believes he has not lost ten dollars in the world. For this he feels truly grateful.

In this county, on the 20th ult, Elizabeth Jane, third daughter of Mary Jane and Benjamin C Moore, aged 12 years and 8 months.
Thrice within a short time, has death entered this family and numbered among its victims a bright and lovely youth. It seldom falls to the lot of parents to feel so sensibly the afflicting hand of Providence bearing upon them, and have torn from their bosoms the objects of their tender care and solcitude.
The deceased was amiable, kind hearted and affectionate, endowed with all, the bloom of youthful promise, it is truly afflicting that she not have been spared, that her parents and society could have realized the fond, expectations that her excellent qualities were so calculated to inspire.
The bloom of youth was on her brown, and virtue in her eye, but both alas! are faded now, by death's destroying hand.
We deeply sympathize with the parents in this sad bereavement but we know there is a balm for wounded souls - the deceased, with her brother, who friended her, more fully away of their accountability, expressed a willingness to die, and it was the joy of the mother to witness the triumph of her own instructions, in performing the last wish of her dying children, to help them upon their knees that they might pray to him who said, 'suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.'"
