DEATH OF R. M. VAUGHAN. Died at his residence in this city, on Tuesday last, Mr. Richard m! Vaughan, aged thirty-eight years. For some two weeks he had been very ill and the many anxious enquiries of his fellow citizens from day to day concerning his condition, manifested the deep interest they felt in his res toration to health again. Mr. Vaughan has lead a very active life. He was a printer by occupation, but at various times engaged in other avocations, in the pursuit of which he saw much of his own State and some what of other neighboring States and formed a large circle of friends and ac quaintances. He was a man of ener gy and in the latter part of his life had made good progress in providing a competency for his family, for whose comfort and welfare he showed the so licitude of a good husband and father. Within the last year or two, he estab lished the Chronicle newspaper in this city, and was, up to the time of his death, untiring and successful in his efforts to sustain and build it up. He married some nineteen vears ago, the daughter of Mr. Daniel Cara- ker of this city, who remains with six children to grieve over a loss which can never be repaired. While most probably he had little expectation of so soon being taken from the support of his family, he yet showed his pru dent regard for their welfare by join ing the Royal Arcanum association, and subsequently by taking out a policy in a Life Insurance company; the latter having been obtained only a month before his death; by which means he secured a payment to his family of $4,000, when he could no longer aid in their support. He also carefully taught his three boys, as they reached sufficient age, to work at liis own business and that with a skill that is remarkable for persons of their immature, age. Some five years ago Mr. Vaughan joined the Methodist church in this city and when he felt that his end was at hand, he expressed his confi dent reliance on his Savior and view ed his approaching end with calmness and resignation. On Wednesday last a large nulnber of our people, among whom were the Royal Arcanum, at tended his funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. Mr. Ham mond at the Methodist Church. A detachment of the Baldwin Blues, of which the deceased had long been a member, acted as pall-bearers, and after the conclusion of the services at the Church, the long procession ac companied the remains to the ceme tery and reverently witnessed their consignment to their last resting place. The Masonic Lodge at Island Creek will celebrate the Festival of St. John the Baptist, next Thursday, 24th inst. Mr. W. W. Lumpkin, the Worship ful Master of Benevolent Lodge, in this city, will deliver the address.— He is an eloquent speaker and our brethren of Island Creek are fortu nate in securing! his services. We learn that a number of the fraternity from this city will be in attendance on this interesting occasion. The people of Island Creek are noted for their intelligence and hospitality and the MasonsVili have a royal time. TO COUNTRY MERCHANTS. Semi for Quotations. —AT— P. J.
