Though then the suffering subjeet of Whooping Cough, that scourge and blight of young hitman life, he heard the songs “Beautiful River” and “I want to be a Little Angel” as they warbled forth from loving lips around her bier. Her pure, bright, spirit had crossed “The Beau- fal River’’ i Her • little opened to. the melody pealing from angelic choirs ! Her little hands had seized the golden Harp and her lips were lisping the sweet anthems of the “Angels singings” ! She had only gone before. Amid the lovihg caresses and tender, watchful, care of father and mother, and' brothers and' sislers, he lingered on in pain and suffering until 9,15 P. M. 12th Inst, when life's weary little wheels stood still and his redeemed spirit went home to God. Jodie was a bright beautiful child. The fourth summer’s sun was just- rising upon him. Ah ! how *rejoiced 'would have been ouryeaming hearts to have held him here—a flower to adorn the gardens of earth ! But God knew besh He saw the canker, and the worm, the chilling winds and the biting: frosts which might come to blight and des troy the lilly and the rose, and He sent His angel to gather tnein and transplant them in His own nursery in the skies.! Bereaved ones ! May God temper the wpnd to His shorn lambs! One, two, three little graves side by side ! But three more flowers which “bloom to die no more” in the garden of God. Three more seraphic spirits added to the shining ranks of the redeemed ! Three more golden links in the strong chain of love which hinds our bleeding Hearts to the Throne above ! One little incident in connection with Jo die’s closing history upon, earth is peculiarly suggestive and impressive. At night,—the evening before his death,—the birds, “the beautiful birds,” gathered,—a-feathered choir —in the trees hard by the dwelling and sang most.sweetly . Jodie caught the njelody.of song as it trilled from tuneful pipes, and said: “I hear the birds'singing ! What kind of birds are they, Ma ma ? His pale pain marked features kindled with sun light : of soul inspired by the inusic-of these God-sent Serenaders from the leafy groves to make melody about his dying couch. Well might, ha have thought of the song “Beautiful Riv er,” sung at Lillians funeral! Well might he have thought and talked to his mother about the “Angels singing.” Well might his spirit have bounded in glad,anticipation of what he was so soon to hear, so soon to be— A Littte Angel ! , “O ! sing once more before I go.” The birds ceased their melodies. Soon, anon, little Jodie’s spirit too took its flight.

These thoughts have bean suggested by the oft-repeated visitation Death has made to our community during the past few montlyi.

May God in Ms-infinite mercy sustain the husband with the consolations of Ms Spirit—and over shadow the orphaned ones with the wings of His protecting, guardian care. - Mrs. Renfroe’s death brings a sense of breavement over this entire community. Her character was strongly marked by all those lovely qualities of mind and heart which com mand respect and love. In all the relations of social life she was without reproach—and without enemies. “7b knoic her was to love her.” In her own'immediate family circle, “her price was above rubies.” In finding her, her husband realized, in all its fores and sweetness, the truth of the apostolic declar ation; losing her, ho lost what Heaven alone' can repay ! Her death was one of Christian trinmph. And no wonder. Long years ago she gave her hand to the church’ and her heart to God. Her’s was not a profession simply— but a principle, a doep Christian principle that pervaded heart and life, shining forth in word and deed;—impressing, elevating and refining her own character, and making her character and life boons of blessedness to Then we have told it at last, but it took a long time to do it How ever as the ice is broken, we will try aid have something to say about this affair.

Butwe were not long in waiting when we were rather -unex pectedly informed that sometking else was to be done Which was first The Examination of the school in spelling, the speeches of tho hoys and reeitatioss of the girls. Of this spelling, we admit that we were taken com pletely by surprise from the simple fact that tMsib&nch of study of all others is mostly neglected in our schools. All did. remarka bly well, from the smallest scholar in school up, a great many of them not having missed a single wonl during the hours of reci- tatgsite- We would not be afraid to wager this school against any in the county, in this branch of study. The speeches were all very good and also the poetfeal recitations of the girls. All re flecting great credit upon the excellent tutor of this school.

The troops captured twenty five horses. Capt Jack wore Gen. Cabby's uniform. Thirty-three Modocs were engaged.

Cotton T.ax Unconstitutional.—“Y^e are- in receipt of information, says the Atlanta Herald, that the United States Court oflClaims has decided that the cotton tax law, under which some eighty-eight millions of dollars were collected, wns unconttitutional: It ap pears that a Mr. Berg, instead of petitioning Congress to refund the tax paid by him, brought suit -in the Court of Claims for its recovery, employed eminent counsel, among whom was the present able Ordinary of Chat ham county. This gentleman a few days ago received a private letter which announced that 'the court was against the uncoristitution- ality of the law, but itsdecision has not yet, we believe, been officially promulgated.

A, memorial, very numer ously signed, was gotten up .that day paying the Road J/anagement to. put a Turnout there. Steps were also taken, at the same time, to build a horse railroad from Louisville to this new point. I learn that $2,100.00 were sub scribed on the ground to carry forward this enterprize. My own notion,' however, is that an iron road may easily he built, os the Cen tral Company let their feeders have old iron on very favorable terms. I earnestly hope the citizens of Louisville and the county gen-' erally will move forward at once, ah<j ener getically, to accomplish this’long and greatly needed enterprize. Wm. Hauser, M. D.

Moreau, ib company with Dr. Roberts, one-of the Elders of the Christian Church of-Saijderswlle, had demanded af- me, as State Evangelist, an. investigation of the ‘re ports’ circulated, damaging to his reputation as a Christian gentleman, and that 1 had ap pointed a Commission for that purpose, and named Sandersville for the sitting, makes it necessary^for me to make the following state ment. . , Sinco.my arrival in this city, I learn that the churches to which Mr. Moreau had been preaching, seeing and hearing said ‘reports’, had, previous to my appointment, themselves appointed a meeting, and ordered Moreau to appear before them, to answer said charges. I state in justice to Moreau that I am inform ed he requested- the churches to postpone their action until after the sitting of my com mission, but they felt that if the reports were true, they were the parties.principally aggrieved, and determined to make him an swer before them. They intended to, and did send Relegates to represept them before the comffl^on, but having already tried the case, they were disqualified to sit in a new trial. I am constrained to regard these proceed ings as irregular, but as the churches are en tirely satisfied and have npon testimony en tirely satisfactory to them, acquitted Moreau, and re-instated him as their Pastor, I shall not seek to change their action nor disturb their judgment. I know tbe men well who acted in this matter, and am sore they are utterly incapable of engaging in a mere white washing process, but whatever they did, was what they believed best, and fully sustained by the testimony. - I shall entertain the hope that Mr. Moreau, by an entire consecration of his life to God, an! the-devotion of his fine abilities to the cause, will justify the confidence so^ gener ously bestowed. 'For the reason, that ‘I found Mr. Moreau had been triedWd reinstated, and was serv ing the churches as their Pastor, possessing their entire confidence, I deemed it unneces sary to have him again put upon his defense.

Constitution special from Buford, 12th instant: This afternoon, near this town, the engineer of the down freight train discovered a little child, about two years old, on the railroad track. Tbe faces of the engineer and. fireman blanched with terror as they whistled “down breaks,” and saw that it was impossible, to check the train in time to save the merry prattler, who. stood astride the rail, looking at the approaching train, unconscious of danger, and a pleasant light gleam ing from his blue eyes. The suspense seemed terrible, and it is said that, the black hair of the engineer is now streaked with grey frqin the intensity of his dread. The firemen, however, at the risk of his own life, ran forward fromthe cow-catcher, grasped the child and saved it from a terrible death. That gallant fireman deserves to be embalmed in song and story for his heroic deed.
