DeLacjr. One of tli 3 saddest events in tho his¬ tory of KaMmati occurred on tho even¬ ing of the 9th instant, when Iho gen¬ tle spirit of I he dearly beloved Rebecca Hall DcLacy winged its flight from earth to Heaven. "\Y*o can recall no single instance when more genuine regret and sym¬ pathy were manifested than on this occasion by this entire community — There was no jicrson more generally esteemed than this amiable and dig¬ nified lady. Having been associated and identified with tho Methodist church, and every institutiou connec¬ ted with it, os well as every other laudable undertaking in the town, tor theso many years, she had unusual opportunities for large aeqiiuiuiancc and .... friendship, which gavohernn feigned pleasure to cultivate and 1m prove. The outpouring of the people to attend her obsequies gave evidence of (lie he high lug. rcirml legal dm in which winch she sl.e was was held by all .like. In these her Baptist, Episcopalian and Presbyterian Mend. participated, and contributed with melancholy iilcasurc to tho perfect ar rangementof tho last sad funeral rites. When wccontemplatc the virtues and usefulness of this lovely life now closed in death, ami tho cruel late that so ruthlessly snatched her away from the loving licans around her, wo arc tempted to bewail and cry out against this awful visitation. Oh, death, thou hast the right to the bold, to the ambi¬ tious, to the high and to the haughty, but why this cruelty to the humble, to the meek and the undeserving? But a few months since and site was going about hoi 1 benevolent and domestic tufinsir.Uiotie, contented amt with scarce a thought o( the griu. , n0 , w j cr . a „d now !o be stricken € i 0Wll | n u, 0 inhlst of lile, wemav e? • * L ^ a * ,n *' woes are more than we can bear!

Her friends came, kind, solicitous and generous friends, whom she loved, tendering and per¬ forming 1 heir gentle offices—cooling her fevered brow, preparing nourish¬ ing delicacies, following the directions of the attending physician, and ihroughall the weary hours— ‘•Watching Her breathing her breathing and low. through the night. soft As in her breast the wave of life Kept heaving to and fro*” But the sequel proved— “Our very hopes belied our fears, Our fears our bones belied; We thought her dying when she s’ept, And steeping when she died.’' And thus she passed to Ilim who giveth bis beloved sleep” forever¬ more. Never have wc beheld eo pleasant a countenance, such a beau li tut expres¬ sion, " and such graceful composure! “ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” is the divine promise, and we feci sure that this 08cfu - .
