AT THE
DEATH.
Death is here, and death is there,
Death is busy every where
All around, within, beneath,
Above is deathand we are death.
Death has set his mark and seal
On all we are and all we feel,
On all we knew, and all we fear:
First our pleasures die and then
Our hopes, and then our fears and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust and we die too.
(Extract of a letter from a gentle
man residing near Smithville, N. C. to a
gentleman in this town:
"A finer instance of female courage
and presence of mind, was perhaps nev
er witnessed in any age of the world,
than the one I will relate, which took
place in this county (Brunswick) near
the town of Smithville, a short time since.
A negro man (Joe, the property of old
Capt. Brown,) went to the house of Mr.
Daniel Bennet in his absence with tho in
tention of committing an assault Mrs.
Bennet was in the house, when he enter
ed and made known his intentions to her;
she immediately rose up, when he threw
his arms around her, she however bv her
exertions got rid of him for a moment,
when lie went to a large crack in the
house to see if any person was approach
ing; while he was in this position, she
seized a shot gun which was loaded with
buck shot and shot him dead on the spot
she immediately communicated to her
neighbors what she had done. A Coro
ner's inquest was held, when she appear
ed before the Jury and swore that she
had done the deed, and why she did
it." Fayfitteville Jour.

cess, which they keep secret, and to which
they give the name of "Momification,"
they have succeeded, after passing a num
ber of years in experiments, in so modi
fying and perfecting the known processes
of preserving bodies as to reduce them to
mummies, leaving all the forms unalter

which show themselves in the human bo

heart, the liver, and even the brain, are
perfectly preserved; the features also re

portraits may be taken at any length of

enveloped in Jujndages as in the Egyp
