country from Devonshire, , England. The'
subject of this notice was born in 1826. He
studied medicine but abandoned it for the
Church, and was licensed as a preacher in
1852, at the High Street Baptist Church,
Baltimore, and his first pastorate Was at
Harper's Ferry, Va. , He was afterward
pastor of Churches at Chapel Hill, Hew-
bern and Kinston in this State. His last
charge was in Delaware, but two years ago
he was compelled to relinquish it on ac
count ot ill-health.
Sudden Deatn.
We regret to hear of the sudden death,
last' Sunday, of the wife of Mr, Wm. Mur
rill, who resides en Middle Sound,: eight
nicies from the city. In company with
others she left home to attend - services at
I the Masouboro Sound Baptist Church, and
while on the road and aear the point of her
destination, she complained of being un-
able to proceed and soon after became so
faint as to require to be carried to the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Glad"
ding. She was attacked about 11 o'clock
ana aiea in less inaa one noun uur uv
formant did not know the nature r of her
Complaint, and no inquest had been held
when he left there yesterday,
ttoctare by Cat P. K ATcRae.
The simple announcement of a lecture
by this gentleman is a guarantee of the
presence of a vast multitude at the Opera
HouBe next Friday night. ; His reputation
as an author, member of the bar and poli -
iician, is something more than State, and
those who are familiar with his public ad
dresses and lectures well know that ' in the
humorous field he 1 excels. 'Gehius and
Talent," the theme of his promised lec-!
ture, opens to him a broad domain for the
exhibition of his splendid capabilities, and
we prophesy that he wllpresent-the sub
ject in a manner that wilt' be .equally elo
quent and instructive.
