He was blessed with a loving wife, who was received in the same church with him, A D 1803. They lived in union together, and raised ten children; and both lived to see the greater part of them em brace the same like precious faith with themselves. His wife died August, A. O. 18-13, and he was left alone as to a helpmate; but he still continued to per severe in the cause of the Redeemer. His manner of preaching was not with enticing words, as with man's wisdom. He was sound in the faith and a very good experimental preacher He lived to a good old ago, and although he had become blind and infirm, he would still talk of the world to come and speak of the pre cious hope that he had of ji future crown. And although he was deprived of that great blessing called eye sight, he slill loved to hear the preciou? truths of the Bible, and as he could not see how to read them himself he would ask his children to ead them for him, and he would sit for hours together and hear, and talk, of the goodness of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. given by Dr.-Pope in his letter which wc published t vo weeks since: ; As for the gold mines here I have noth ing very encouraging- to say. Digging has been slow ever since I have been in the mines, is dulLnowr and,l believe, get ting worse every day. Take the mines, all together, and 1 do not believe there is an average of two dollars a day in the mines. Some few are doing very well, and some have been lucky enough to make fortunes by digging gold but 1 can assure you they are but few. There are so many people here that it is impossible for a man to get a place to work that will hold him longer than a few days and when he works out thnt place, he has to spend what little he makes in it looking out another place, and that is the way it goes all the lime. On every stream that has gold in it, throughout the Country, people are crowded as thick as bees, thousands of them just, come in, across the plains this season, destitute, and have to work through the winter for their living. Al ways, until now, it has been a rare thing to sec a woman in the mines, but they have come, in great numbers across the plains this season. 1 was up on Deer proceeds of his last cargo.
