DEATH OF MRS. ROBERT TOOMBS.
At ten o’clock on last Tuesday morn¬
ing, Mrs. General Robert Toombs died
at the sumraei residence of her husband
ah CiarkaviHe, Iiakiersham county, Ga.
Mrs. Toombs had kieen in feeble bealtli
for a year or more, and her death was
not unexpected to her family and
friends. She had been married fiftv
three years during all of which time
she and her husband had lived most
happily * 3 together. 6 She accompanied
him in his travels , through Europe and
t()e East, and was his companion in
Washington city,and.inRichttond,when
his places as United States Senator and
«nemper of the Confederate Cabi¬
net were so prominent before the
people, and ranked among the
first ladies of the country. She
had l>een a consistent memtier of
t j )e jf e t| 10< ] lri t church from childhood,
and was noted for her piety.
She gently passed away from the
trials and vexations of the world and
has gone to her reward. May that
humble ho|ie which alone sustained
her in death be realized by the bereaved
husband ere the cold clod shall
cover his earthly form. May God
infuse into the heart and mind
of him whose name shall live
with ... a , freshness which time cannot
impair, and shine with a brightness
which passing yeais cannot ....,, n . t dim dim, the the
Christian spiritof submission under his
sad bereavement. The remains were
interred in the Washington cemetery
yesterday morning after a very impres¬
sive funeral discourse by Bishop George
F. Bierce.

Has been more destructive to ‘human health and

said a distinguished wnter many years ago. and it i;
os true to-day as then. The poor victim of BIcmxI
Disease is drugged with Mercury to cure the the malady* Mer¬
and then dosed with Iodides to cure him of
curial Poisoning; but instead of any relief, the first
breaks down ms general health and makes him •
cnpple, and the other ruins his digestive organs. To
those afflicted in this way Swift’s Specific is the
greatest boon on earth, and is worth more than its
weight in gold. It antidotes this Mercurial Poison,
tones up the system, and brings the sufferer back
to health and happiness. Every person who hae
ever been salivated should by ail means take a thor
ough course of this remedy.
