S A E Oxford, N. C, April 8th, 1872. What Great 3Ien have been I'ond Of. Wh would have imagined that the grave, philosophic Socrates, -during his hours of leisure, took pleasure in danc ing ? Yet it wa3 so. Many other wise men besides Socratc3 have taken ae light in music. Epaminondas used to take pleasure in singing at village festi vals. The cruel Nero fiddled while Rome was burning ;at least, he played the harp, for there were not, as yef, fiddles in those days. Luther deligh ted in playing the flute,ahd thususedto soothe his excited ieeling. Frederick IL of Prussia allayed the most.'viplent agonies of mind with the same instru ment. An hour's p'ayinu generally suthced to reduce him , to per- lect tranquility. Milton delighted in playing , the organ, ami Composed Several fine palm tunes. wnicn are to tuis day sung m , our churches. Bentham -was- passionately fond of music, and played the organ ; there was secarccjy a room in his house without j-a piano. Gainsborough, the painter, was a capitat"performer on the violin. Byron's great delight was in flowers; iad while ia Italy he pur chased a fresh i bbquet cvery day. By ron was. also fondof animals; in his youth he made a friend of a boar. Go ethe rarely passed a day without bring ing out from the chimney corner a live snake, which he kept there, and caressed it like a bosom friends Tiberius, a Ro man Emperor, also made an intimate companion of a serpent. Augustus was exceedingly fond of a parrot, but still more so ot a quail, the loss of which made him as sad as if had lost a battle. A Connecticut fisherman one day baited his hook with a live frog. After patiently waiting some time for a bite, as he chatted with u friend, - he lound- that his lively bait had swuin ashore "and .was sitting quietly on the rock by his side. He wound up his line and went home. ' . ( .. .

The great loss which society, as well as her own family has sustained by the decease of so excellent a lady, deserves more than a parsing notice. - She was born In the county of Nash, on the 22nd day of February, 15, and was the. daughter of George Boddle. Esq., and his wife Lucy. Her father wraa one of themost respectable and useful citi zens of the county, and her mother was a ihodel of the domestic virtues. Under the care and tuition of such parents.the daugh ter grew up to womanhood fitted and pre- pared in every respect, to perform faithfully the important duties which were to be de volved upon her. : On the 15th day of May, 1825. she was mar ried to Rev. Josiah Crudup ; and for more than forty-live years she made hla home happy, and never gave him cause of grief until she left hlm'a lonely hearthstone. She was the mother of nine children, of whom four only survive. Those who had the hap piness to know this estimable lady will call to mind, when they feel the sense of loae liness which her death has caused, the calm, unruffled serenity of her temper, the ex am plary prudence of her conduct, the good sense .which she displayed in performing her domestic duties, the sweet grace of her Intercourse with her family and friends, and above all.the sincere piety Which mark ed her dally life. In her early years she connected herself with the Baptist Church, and she died in its communion. Her lov ing husband, children, relations and friends cannot restrain the tears of grief for the loss of one so dear, but the anguish will be soft ened by the assurance that she has gone where there Is no more sighing and sorrow where all is peace and rest. .

Whence comes that firm reliance, that absolute, undonbting faith In the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Hitters as a remedy for Indigestion; billions disorders, intermit tent and remittent fevers, which notorious ly prevail in all parts of the United State T This confidence has been growing for twen ty years, and it is still extending. It is not the result of credulity ; It has not been en gendered by any human device, bnt is the spontaneous and natural, consequence ot experience. What people see daily going on under their own eyes they cannot ques tion, When famlliea in unhealthy districts that resort tothis wholesomevegetable tonic as a preventive, escape periodical fevers, and their immediate neighbors; who neg lect this precaution, are' prostrated by the disease, how is it possible that the phenom enon should be without its lesson ? In like manner when it Is seen that obstinate cases of dispepsia, of liver comdlaint. of consti pation, of nervous weakness, and of gener al debility, yield to the operation of the famous remedy, how can even Incredulity itself - withhold Its endorsement ? Eye witnesses of tho salutary effect of the1 Bitters are to be found in every civilized settlement on this- continent The thous ands who owe their restoration to health and strength, or their preservation from sickness, to its extraordinary medicinal properties, are enthusiastic In it praise. The multitude who recommend it in a neighborly way to the friend and acquain tances, as well as those who make public their estimate of it virtues, are always ready to state their reasons for the faith that is In them.
