quarter of a century, had been the

following was unanimously adopted,
and ordered to be spread upon the
Minutes:
Mr. Munroe, who was a native of

We have never doubted, for one mo

We have heard planters insist that

I have been told so by a german,

just to try the experiment, and was
obliged to go home entirely sober in

man drink sixteen glasses, and if he
was drunk, it was in german, and no
body could understand it. It is prop
er enuff to state that this man kept a
lager beer saloon, and could hav
no object in stating what was not

ly af ter he came to Macon he married
Miss Tabitha E. Napier. In the year
IS34, he united himself permanently
with the congregation of ChristChurch,
soon after became a communicant,
then one of the Vestry, and then again
one of the Wardens, which last office
he continuously filled until his death.
He was of ten a delegate to the General
Conventions of the Church, and to
the Diocesan Conventions, being one
of only two persons who were mem-
l*ers of the Convention in lS42,-when
Bishop Elliot was elected the first Bish
op of Diocese, and also of the Conven
tion of 1S67, when Bishop Beckwith
was elected his successor. Besides
the duties incident to.these positions,
all of which he most efficiently and
zealously performed, w hatever else he
could find to do, to extend and build
up the Church, he cheerfully did to the
extent of his ability.
As a husband and father, he was all
tenderness arid love ; as a inan of busi
ness, systematic, intelligent, prompt,
generous and strictly upright; as a
friend, true, earnest, and untiring in
his devotion; as a Christian, full of
faith and confidence in the promises
of the Gospel, cheerful, meek and hum
ble as a lit:le child; abounding iu
good works, the teachings and exam
ple of our Saviour being ever present
with him ; such was his pure charac
ter, wherever known, that the name
of Nathan C. Munroe, whether as hus
band, father, man of business, friend,
or Christian, was but the synonym for
all that is held in highest esteem, by
all good men and Christians.
Never of robust health, for many
years past, especially since the death
of his wife, in 1858, Mr. Munroe’s
health had sensibly and constantly de
clined, until on Sunday morning
May 3d, 186S, at his residence, Sylvan
Lodge, in Vineville, near Macon, in
the 65th year of . his age, surrounded
by all his children, and his children’s
children, quietly, after much suffer
ing, fell asleep, and yielded, up his
soul to God, who gave it. Surely,
“he rests from his labors, and his works
do follow 7 him”—
Therefore, Resolved, That in the
ieath of Nathan C. Munroe, this
Church has lost one of its oldest, most
active and useful officers and members,
nd we one of our best and most ten
derly cherished friends.
Resolved, That the Vestry will erect
in the Church, a suitable Marble Tab
let to the Memory ofMr. Munroe, for
tbe purpose of perpetuating the rec
ollection of his Christian virtues and
usefulness.
Resolved, That the Secretary is re

Georgia Academy for the Blind, >
Macon, May 13, 1866. >
Present, the President, Dr. James
Mercer Green, Nathan Ross, L. N.
Whittle, H. L. Jewett, Jackson De-
Loache and Washington Poe, Trus
tees.
The death of Nathan C. Munroe,
having been aanounced, on motion,
Dr. Green and the Hon. W. Poe, were
appointed a committee to draw up
suitable resolutions in reference to that
event.
The following preamble and resolu
tions were reported:
Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty
in his divine providence to take from
us, Nathan C. Munroe, one of the old
est and most beloved members of this
Board—who has been associated with
the Georgia Academy for the Blind,
from its very earliest organization as
Trustee and Treasurer—who has been
at, “all times instant in season and out
of season,” its most useful anil iuvalu-
ble friend ; wise in counsel, energetic
and prompt in acting, cool and saga
cious in business, untiling in his de
votion to tli^ interests of the Institu
tion, it is difficult to overestimate his
value as a member ol tbe Board of
Truhtees. Therefore, in accordance
with time-honored custom and with
our own feeling it is
Resolved, That the Board ol Ti*us-
tees of the Georgia Academy far the
Blind, have heard witb profound re-'
gret of the death of their late coleague,
Nathan C. Munroe.
Resolved, That one page of our min
uter be dedicated to his memory, on
which shall be inscribed the date of his
birth, of his election as a member of
the Board, and ol his death.
Regolved, "“That W. D. Williams,
Superintendent of the Academy, and
H. L. Jewett, Treasurer, be a com
mittee to procure a memorial slab
with a suitable inscription thereon,
the same to be placed on the walls of
the Chapel of tbe Academy..

The wheat crop in this section gen
erally has a magnificent appearance—
far better than has been known for
years. Should no untoward accident
occur before harvest time the yield
will be large.—Jfuntsville lndeptodant.
The Livingston (Ala.) Journal re
ports that the corn and cotton pros
pect in Sumter county is more prom
ising than at any previous time with
in twenty years.
A late number of the Aberdeen
(Miss.) Examiner says:
Never have the fields of corn made
more extravagant promises to the farm
ers than they do to-day. Fine “stands”
are the general rule; and though the
same weather that favored their rapid
growth, has called forth the grass in
all its rank luxuriance, and welcomed
the crawfish to its dainty feast, we are
confident that the energy of our plan
ters, and their swarthy aids, will con
quer all enemies to agricultural pros
perity, “now in sight.”
With regard to wheat, we hear con
flicting re(K>rts—some whom we have
consulted, announced all well, and
others fear rust, in consequence of the
vast amount of rain that has fallen; the
weight of testimony, however, favors
a generous yield. Much more wheat
has been planted this year, than usual,
and it is not unlikely that we may
make enough to supply the home de
mand: a thing most uuusual. m
We are informed that parties who
h ive sowed red clover in the county
this season, are succeeding admirably,
and we expect much land to be devoted
to it next year.
The German Settlements in Wes
tern Texas.—The San Antonio Ex
press says:
“The German settlements in West
ern Texas are an exception to the gen
eral character of agricultural commu
nities in Texas, for no place in the
world presents in its combination of
natural scenery and farm life a more
pleasing picture than the eight or ten
miles of country on the San Antonio
road before entering the thriving vil
lage of New Braunfels. The road
runs through a succession of small
farms; to the west, a mile or so dis
tant, is a range of high lands covered
with cedar, the dark foliage contrast
ing pleasantly with tbe light green
foliage of elms that dot the little val
ley below; to the west stretches out
a lovely rolling prairie country, over
which herds of cattle are grazing; be
tween this line of hills and the high,
rolling prairie lie the well-fenced, well-
tilled farms of our German friends,
their humble bat comfortable houses
surrounded by all the* evidences of an
industri >us and civilized people. Here
and there long lanes lead from the
prairies to the hills to afford a passage
for the cattle of the farmers. Thia
whole country is now a scene of agri
cultural industry; plows are moving
in every field ; men and women are at
work; no one lounging about. The
women are generally engaged in the
lighter employment of sowing the
seed. No children were visible play
ing idly about the farm doors, bat a
log school house, in which we saw a
multitude of young beads trying to
catch a glimpse of tbe stranger, proves
that these industrious Germans com
mence right.”
The Crops.—The crops on uplands
are doing well, with the single excep
tion of grass, which tbe late rains have
rendered luxurious and abundant. A
few week8otfair weather, with deter
mined industry on the part of laborers,
will place our upland farmers in a
well-to-do condition. The lowlands
have been inundated by the freshet,
and will have to be replanted; but this,
in the end, may result in no farther
disadvantage than the increased cost of
labor thereby rendered necessary. Upon
the whole, our fanning interest is en
couraging.
Negroes are working better, and are
less impudent and intractable than
they were last year.

In one of the lower counties of the
•State where tbe Radicals elected their
ticket by a large majority, the whole
amount of taxes paid by them was just
one dollar and eighty-four cents.
Tbe track of Rome, Selma and Dal
ton Railway, is now laid as far as
Jacksonville. Mr. Ramey, the efficient
Superintendent, is pushing the work
forward with great rapidity,, and pur
poses in a short time to lay half a mile

The prospects of frnit in the North
ern counties of the State are said never
to have been more favorable than at
present. Unless something in the fu
ture should destroy it there will be
more than can be utilized.—Peaoheg
will be most abundant.
