rr I>r. J. A. CLEVELAND has re-? turned to this city, and may be iound at the office 'of CLEVELAND A SPEAR. Not. 10 OBITUARY. Died, on the 6th December, 1847, William Henry Sharpe, in the 22d year of his age, after a protracted illness. •To multiply words by passing encomiums upon the dead is wholly unnecessary, yet a/proper re gard for their memory induces us to pay to them this last tribute of respect. 1 * ' departed one can reap no benefit by ought we can say ot him, yet the living may draw useful lessons from the lile he led. He was a victim of disease—-a child of misfortune., yet he was resigned i to the will ot Him who ordereth all things well. His prayer was “Look upon my atiliction ami .fain ■ and forgive all my sins,” and we believe a kind Providence has answered it. A kind, sympathiz ing heart, a mrinttwriit of every Christian virtue has fallen, yet hi£mfemnry will be cherished by all who knew •km',. W"e'Avitßcssed-liis last moments —ealm and con scious of approaching dissolution, he bade adieu t > J earth without a struggle. No murmur in atiliction, I no struggle in death ! “Blessed is the man unto ’whom the Lord imparteth not iniquity and in ! •whose spirit there is no guile.” Sparta, Ga., Dec. 12, 1847. D. W.
