He will be long recollected by a large number of the old residents of the Western Reserve, who, on their way from old to new Ct., landing at Cleveland, generally rested at Abbey's Coffee House, the Weddell of the city 25 years ago, before taking their departure for their newly-chosen homes in the far West.

ence.

ADAMS, Mrs. Orra, Westhaven, Vt., June 16, æ. 72, wife of Horace Adams, Esq. Although she had lived beyond the measure of days attained by the great majority of mankind, her whole life has been one of practical piety and benevolence. Charity was not a profession with her-it was her practice; and many who are now called to mourn her loss, have been made to rejoice as the recipients of her sympathy and liberality.

ADAMS, Hon. Stephen, Memphis, Tenn., May 11, æ. —. He was a native of Pa., and was a Senator in that state. Removing to Miss., he took an active part in public affairs, was a member of the state legislature, and elected a judge of the Circuit Court, and from 1852 to 1857 was senator in Congress from Miss.

ALBRAY, Susannah, Willington, Ct., March 12, æ. 99.

ALDERMAN, Daniel, near Wilmington, N. C., Jan. 25, æ. 83. All the constituents of an honest, just, and worthy citizen, of a faithful husband, of a tender father, of a conscientious master, and, for many years a laborious, economical, and successful man, were concentrated in him. Death has removed from a large and very respectable circle of relations him who has long been its counsellor, its guardian, and its comforter, and especially so to his own deeply-afflicted family.

ALDERSON, Mrs. Mary, Lewisburg, Va., April 13, æ. 88, widow of the late Joseph Alderson, Esq. She was born in Rockingham, raised near Fincastle in Botetourt Co., and was married and removed to Greenbrier in 1789, only a few months after the last Indian depredations in the neighborhood in which she settled. As an historical fact, we may mention that in the year 1790, she was called to Lewisburg, at a criminal trial, where she heard Patrick Henry defend the accused, and such was the influence of his elo

quence, that although a plain case of murder, the criminal escaped with simply being burned in the hand. She also remembered the firing of cannon in Fincastle, on the reception of the news of the battle of Bunker's Hill.

ALLEN, Col. Beverly S., Huntingdon, Tenn., Oct. 5, æ. —. A few days ago, he was in the enjoyment of his usual health, and actively engaged in the discharge of his professional duties; but he is gone from among us forever. His virtues alone survive him. He was a na

tive of N. C., but when he was very young, his parents emigrated to Carroll Co., Tenn., where he resided most of his life. Here he was reared and educated, and studied and practised his profession. It was in the midst of those who had known him longest and best that he breathed his last. His name stands intimately connected with the legislative, judicial, and political history of Tenn., attesting the confidence his fellowcitizens had in his capacity, integrity, and personal honor, and leaving a monument to his memory, of which his friends may well be proud. Tenn. Paper.

MRS. CAROLINE L. ALLEN, Medway Village, Ms., Aug. 11, principal of the Family School for Young Ladies, æ. 49. "The sudden death of this excellent lady has produced deep sensation in the community. The loss to families, to the youth, to the cause of education, and to the cause of Christ, is inexpressibly great. She was taken away in the midst of extended and extending usefulness. With a mind vigorous, active, energetic, and well stored, and with a large experience in teaching, added to a deep interest in the young, and a sympathy with the views and spirit of Mary Lyon, whose society and instruction she had enjoyed years ago, she commenced a course of teaching in Medway on the system of the family boarding school. This was the cherished object of her life. In order to engage in it, and with a desire to carry out her plans in a more direct, and thorough, and practical training of the young, she had left a desirable position in one of the largest female seminaries of New England. The enterprise was arduous and difficult, requiring strong faith, and much patience and perseverance; yet she seemed equal to the task. She at once secured the confidence of parents, won the hearts of the young, and drew around her an interesting group, who were led along with rapid progress in the paths of literature. Such was her success, that, with hardly a single printed notice, her school increased in less than four terms to a number nearly doubling her original design; and when, at the close of the fourth term, on her dying bed, applications came in from different directions to such an extent, that, had she lived, she would have been com

pelled to refuse many whose hearts were set upon coming to her school.

"No teacher seemed to be more happy in her profession, and none more devoted to the highest good of the pupils. While successful in their intellectual culture, she had special regard to their manners and morals, and all their relative and social duties. Her standard, in all respects, was high. For herself she aimed at high attainments, and sought to impress the same important lessons upon those under her charge.

"But her crowning excellence was in making the Bible the basis of all her teachings. She had imbibed its Heavenborn spirit. She loved its hallowed precepts, and sought to make them practical in the life of her beloved pupils. Every day they were invited to repeat portions of its sacred contents in such a manner as to interest and impress their tender minds. All this was accompanied with earnest desire and unceasing labor for their spiritual good. She looked upon her pupils as accountable, and with minds destined to exist forever; and it was the burden of her life that they all might share in the blessings of salvation. Such often was the intensity of her desires, that she would spend hours in the night pleading with her heavenly Father in their behalf. The result was, that during every term of her school, cases of hopeful conversion occurred, and during one of special interest, nearly one quarter of the entire number became hopefully the subjects of renewing grace.

This course was in perfect consistency with her whole Christian life. She felt her responsibilities, and labored as one in earnest for the salvation of souls. While a resident in the city, and at the head of a family, she was indefatigable in her efforts as a tract distributor and as a Sabbath school teacher. Her late husband was then a superintendent. With him she coöperated in unceasing labor and with most happy results. When left a widow, disconsolate and depressed, and with the care of two fatherless daughters, she did not cease her self-denying work for the good of others.

"On her return to her native town, Leominster, she took charge of a Bible class of young ladies. Öf the thirty comprising the class, twenty-two were without hope in Christ. Her instrumentality was blessed to the hopeful conver

sion of every one of that number. In the Seminary, at Burlington, Vt., where she resided for three years, she labored incessantly for the spiritual good of the young ladies. She was accustomed to make individuals the subjects of special effort and prayer. In almost every instance, she was permitted to see the anticipated result in their hopeful piety. Two or three such cases existed at a given time, when she united with those they brought in, to labor for others, until, in a single term, some twenty were brought to rejoice in the promised mercy of Christ.

Her

"With this active, devoted, prayerful life, we should anticipate a peaceful death. Such indeed was hers. Although called suddenly, she was prepared to go. work was done. Truly did she 'set her house in order.' She gave directions respecting her funeral, entering into every particular, and expressing freely her desires respecting the disposal of her books and other articles, for the benefit of surviving friends. She selected and sent tokens of interest to her pupils, and desired each to be present when her remains should be borne to the grave. Her views of the Saviour were clear. Her hope in him was bright and joyous, and even triumphant. She had not a doubt of her acceptance. There was not a cloud in her spiritual horizon. She longed to depart and be with Christ. 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.'"

ALLEN, Mrs. Josephine E. M., Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 12, æ. 26, wife of Hugh Allen, Esq., and only daughter of Hon. S. H. P. Hall, of Binghampton, N. Y.

ALLEN, Col. Jesse, Memphis, Tenn., July 15, æ. 79. No higher eulogy can be bestowed by the living upon the departed than to say that the world has been the better and the wiser for their having lived in it, and this can truly be said of him whose death we record.

ALLEN, Hon. Judge, Goshen, Ocean Co., N. J., Aug. 1, æ. 63. Judge Allen will leave a wide vacancy in the society of the village of Tom's River, in the Co. of Ocean, where he has resided for several years. He was as generally known throughout that county, and a large part of Monmouth, as any gentleman of our acquaintance, and the influence acquired by his years and experience, and the po

sition he held at Tom's River, will make him not only greatly missed and lamented, but will lead a host of friends and acquaintances to stand appalled at this sudden mysterious providence.

RUFUS BRADFORD ALLYN, Esq., Belfast, Me., æ. 63, son of the late Rev. John Allyn, of Duxbury, Ms., and the seventh in lineal descent from Bradford, the governor of Plymouth Colony, whom he was wont to call "the chiefest and foremost of the Pilgrims."

He was a graduate of Harvard University of the class of 1810, and although the youngest in his class, (having entered when he was but thirteen,) he was awarded its highest honors. He pursued the study of the profession of law in the office of Hon. Wm. Sullivan, of Boston, and having been admitted to its practice, he went to reside at Belfast in 1815.

He was a scholar of rare attainments, of profound learning, and great refinement of taste. As a lawyer, he probably had not his superior in this country. He was thoroughly versed in the authorities, and of memory so retentive and remarkable as to be able to make a brief
