Dim mick, Esq., in the 38th year of her age. The removal of tins estimable lady from her sphere of earthly usefulness leaves a sad gap in the social circle of Highlands. Identified in many ways with thenBOcial and business life of our town for several years past, she will be keenly missed by friend and neighbor. Quiet and unobtrusive in her disposition, a warm and generous heart was hers ; kind and gentle courtesies ever graced her life. Mrs. Dimmick was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Highlands, and always manifested the deepest interest in the affairs of our beloved Zion. Trou bled with a serious affection of the heart for several years, the end, although sud den, was not unexpected, and found her ready to respond to her Master's call. A simple, childlike trust characterized her experience, especially during her last ill ness. Doubtless she entered the dark valley leaning on the strong arm of Isra el's gentle shepherd. "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear fid evil ; for Thou art with me ; Thy rod and staff they comfort me." Three orphaned ones ieft by dtir friend and sister claim and receive the tenderest sympathy of our community. Friend. This comiriuhicatidn was received too late for insertion last week. Ed.

They will probably locate in the valley of Cul lowhee, which is one of the most fertile and picturesque in Western Carolina. The citizens of Cullowhee were greatly startled at the announcement of the sud den death of Hugh 'Rogers on the morn ing of the 9th inst after a very short ill ness. Mr. R. was one of the oldest citi zens of this valley, and his hospitality and goodness were well known far and wide. His loss will not only be .felt on Cullo whee, but his house was a home to all his friends. Four inches of snow fell on the 8th. On the 9th, at 7 a.m., mercury down to zero. On the 10th, 10 below; 11th, 11 "below ; 12th, 12 below ; 13th, 10 below 14th, 2 below; 15th. 20 above. The hardest weather known to the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Respectfully, Zeno.
