In 1842, he was 'married to Miss Mary Ann, eldest daughter of the late Thomas Kincaid, Esq., who bore him thirteen children, but live of whom survive him. In private life, he was a plain, mat ter of fact, upright citizen, a faithful aud devoted husband, firm but kind fa ther, and tlie friend. He believed in God, boweiito his providences, exercis ed a siiviny: faith in the Lord Ji?sns Christ, and strove to live up to the teachings of the Bible. More than 30 years ago he told this writer That there was nothing stable but bod and Heav en, and that the sooner young people recognized the' fact and devoted their lives to His service, the better it would be for them in this life and in that which is to come. That he acted upon this idea the record of his life attests." The immediate cause of his death was congestion of the lungs, though he had been suffering from senile catarrh of- the lungs for several years. He seems to have been perfectly conscious of the near approach ot death. , Un Thursday and Friday preceeding, he visited his daughters in the town. On Saturday, he arose as usual, ate his break fa 4, went to him garden, planted some seeds, returned to hi; room, pri yately wrote his will, laid it away shaved himself, ate supper, walked out on his hack piazza and viewed and dis cussed with the family the beautiful sunset of that evening and returned to his room whence he never came forth alive. He was sudlenly attacked -between S and 9 o'clock Saturday night, and - soon became speechless. On Sunday morning he passed away as quietly as parfcures by his party as the Blair bill and other measures which were incon sistent with State right. A self-edu we who have been familiar with that work can testify.

White it is possible that we may have some freezes again this spring, it would not be wise to defer planting' corn any longer. Corn ought to be planted either early enough to ma ture before intense summer drouths are likely to overtake the crop, or else late enough to catch the August rains when about ready to ear. March and May are the two months for planting. One can still more probably escape the midsummer drouth by planting an early variety of corn as noon as the weather will permit. Taking it all in all, the golden dent is the best field variety of early corn we bare ever grown. To get an early maturing crop the seed should be Northern grown Southern grown seeJwHl not bring the earliest crop; it losses in eas iness every year it is planted on poor land. All early maturing crops must have rich soil,-Hnd corn is no excep tion. The land shonld also be very thoroughly prepared, aud the crop should receive early and frequent working. For the main crop, plant the best common corn of the neighborhood, We prefer to plant the main crop in a shallow watte r furrow, and gradually work the dirt up to it.

Mr. Bruner never displayed the dash and wild search tor sensations or for notoriety ; which so Characterize modern journalism. He did no follow the Crowd or yield to inuo vations which were inconsistent with his ideas of journalism. He had a well d.finpd enncention of the mission of a newspaper. ilis"idea was to convey useful information, to furnish whole- some' mental" food, to teach sound po j litical doctrines, aud above all, to ele ; vate public morals.

Bruner, the veteran editor of the Salisbury Watchman, which oc curred at his residence in that city last Sunday. He had been engaged in edi torial work for fifty-one years and was doubtless the oldest editor in the State in contin uous service. Fifty-one ears ago he established the Watchman, in the editorship of which he was true to his convictions, true to his people, honest, upright, and without pretence. He sought rather to do his duty in a quiet, unobtrusive way than to win notoriety. He did his duty did it well and at the age of 73 years, lays down his life work respected, honored, and mourned by the community which knew him best. Grecnshoro Patriot.
