An Aerial Sliip.
The Wilmington Messenger of
last Tuesday morning tells of a
ather remarkable aerial visitor
which passed over that city Mon-
says :
of. people were out
and wharves last
ht, looking at a brilliant
floating mass in the heavens to
the west of the city. It was
moving very rapidly, and many
persons saw net-work about the
aerial.- wonder. Some of our
verj' b'est and jmost reliable citi
zens, saw so much of the heaven-
lv stranger that thev had not the
ut that it was
the air ship which has been re
ported from ther cities. The
ship moved tc- the. west at a rap
id rate. It seemed to have some
thing like a search-light, facing
earthwards, and created a sensa

pure -life.
At an early age Air., Williams
placed his trust where confi
dence is never betrayed ; his
wealth where moth and rust
corrupt not ; his hope where
disappointment is unknown.
From liis early years he has
been a member of the Baptist
church, which he loved and
eryed with more than filial af
fection. And nowhere, outside
of his own family, will his loss
be more keenly felt than in his
church, whose interest was al
ways his interest and whose
cause was ever his cause.
At the close, of a life so emi
nent for piety and Christian
graces, it is not strange, mat
even from his bed of . pain, his
words betrayed that he had
glimpses of the eternal joys
which were so near. His last
broken words showed that his
faith was still unwavering and
that he regarded death as the
flowering time of life.
He leaves behind him a wife
and five children whose great
sorrow is echoed by the : whole
community and whose: incalcu
lable loss will awaken :a sympa
thizing chord in each heart.
