Complimentary to the Late Rev.
Wm. Barringer. A late number of
the Charlotte Democrat has the follow
ing communication in it :
The sad and untimely death of this
excellent gentleman and eminent divine
at Greeusboro, N. C, on the 17th iust.,
was an event so singular in its surround
ings, and closed a career so marked in
its course, as to call for more than an
ordinary notice. This is due alike to
Ins memory and to a quiet public sen
timent, which is mourning "as for a
brother."
Mr. Barringer was the third son
of Gen. Barringer of Carbarrus county,
lie received a good education and then
entered upon the business of a merchant
in Concord. In this he was highly
successful, and no young man of his
-day. had before him brighter prospects
of &l that wealth, culture and high
social position could give. lie was
sess , all that heart could desire.
But in the midst ol all this.
in the very Spring time of life,
he gave up all, dedicated himself to
God, and entered the Methodist minis
try. This was thirty years ago, when
I ihe Methodist Church of this section
was not the strong and popular power
it has since become. His course could
not fail to excite surprise and comment.
But the shining convert pressed nobly
forward. He overcame every obstacle
and finally entered upon his duties us
'circuit rider." lie gave his time, his
talents, his means, his hopes, present
and future, all to Christ. The writer of
this knew him well in all the, relations
I i i : ' : .-i."i .r
"i pnvaie, ministerial ana uusi:
ncss and he does rot hesitate to say
that lie never knew ay one who sur-
rendeied himself more sincerely and
entirely to me cause ne espouseei. in
a very few years he was made Presi
ding Elder. But it was mauitest that
Ai.r. B. had no ambition except to do
his duty. In this position he soon ac
quiied influence and power and could
probably in due time have secured the
highest honors ot his Church.' But he
shrank from all temptations of this
kind, and continued to devote himselt
solely to the work committed to his
care.
lu ISol Mr. B. married Miss Alston,
of Chatham county. But this change
made no difference in the labors and
sacrifices of this devoted servant of
Christ. His noble w:!e entered into his
work 'with all her sou!., and to the close
ot the late war she coutinued to cheer
and sustain him. About this time her
health failed and she finally sank under
the wasting of disease, leaving in the
care and keeping ot her husband six
young children. litre was a new trial
ior our christuin hero. Property, coun
try, schools, al gone. What was he to
( I Nobly did he meet his responsi
bilities. Instead of idle repinings anil
sinful complaints, he deliberately set
himself to work to conform bis Hie and
that ol his household to the new require
ments. He lived economically ; he
taught his children industry and thrift;
he arranged so that thev could instruct
ench other, and for more than five years
he was practically his own teacher and
housekeeper.
During these trying years he never
once slackened his zeal in the cause of
hi Saviour. JOu the contrary, his heart
we it out stronger than ever. He saw
at a gl.ince the dangers growing out ol
the demoralization of war, anel he re
solved to meet them maufulty and pa
triotically. First of all, he; saw the
whole land steeped in ignorance and
the entire educational system going to
ruin. In this emergency he united with
others of his' church and countrymen in
the almost desperate effort of re build
ing the Greensboro Female Methoilist
College, lately destroyed. The effort
Wiis successful. He hiiiiself had the
main charge of-the work of construes
tion, and lie was on one of his : regular
turns ot inspection, on the 11th inst..
when lie accidentlv tell and received the
fatal lriunes ending his valuable ana
uselul lite. Ah I that more ol us had
such faith, such courage, and such zeal
in the cause nf our country and of our
God !
The death of our friend was inexpres
sibly touching and sad From the mo
ment of his tall to that ot his tlissolu-
tion he was unconscious, except an in
terval of a tew hours, when he calmly
reviewed his faith in Christ, and ex
pressed to - his sorrowtHg J'amily and
iiiends his desire to live for his and their
sake. But he added, "if it be the will
of Providence that I go now, I submit,
it is all well with me."

Oak City Council. The "Sociable"
given by the ladies of this Council, at
the Temperance Hall, last Friday eve
ning, was a complete success. Quite a
large number ot persons were present,
and a couple of hours very sociably and
pleasantly spent. Cakes, ice cream and
canelies were then furnished,of which all
partook, anel another instance was ad
ded to the arguments of temperance
tidvocates. that men and women may be
merry "without the aid of wine." Late
in the evening. Rev. L. Branson, Presi
dent of the Council, intrcduced to the
audience Rev. Brantley York, D. D.,
Professor of Logic in Rutherford Col
lege, who entertained the crowd for the
space of five minutes with some admi
rable and well timeel remarks.
The audience soon thereafter dis
persed to their homes, all seemingly
well pleased with the "sociable." in
about two weeks the ladies propose to
repeat their entertainment, adding new
features of interest. Among other things
they propose to have a ring-cake con
taining a valuable ring, to be cut tor by
all who buy a ticket to the entertain
ment. 1 hese sociables are intended to
make money to fix up the Hall for the
