lie , foir a long time , actively discharged ihe important and responsible duties of that situation . His disinterestedness and j : eal in promoting improvements had the entire approbation of those with whom he acted , and it was quite a gratification
to be associated with him in such undertakings . —As a relaxation to other pursuits , he had , for several years past , paid much attention to an upland estate , which , by draining and fop-dressing with bone manure , ( for . which he was a great advocate , ) had become uncommonly
productive . Land , that in point of fertility had little higher pretension than the adjoining common , by his management became one of the richest feeding pastures in the district . This was an object that divided his latest attention , he having visited the farm not more than a week previous tq > his decease . —In the
architecture of the neighbourhood , namely , that of cotton factories and their appropriate appendages , his judgment and experience had a decisive preponderance . A few years ago he took the direction of some important ; ^ alterations in the enlargement of tlie chapel tq which he belonged , aud of which he had lived to become the
father . Bis re mains were interred in the adjoining cemetery , oti Friday * April 21 , amidst the silent tears of an affectionate family , the deep concern of many sincere friends , and a very large concourse of his
numerous workmen and the population of the place . The week previous to his sickuess he gave directions for the construction of a family vault , unaware at the time he so soon should become ks

been purchased . An excellent sermon , from Rom . vL 23 S on the occasion of her death , was ^ preached , on the 7 th in St ., by the Rev . Joseph Hut ton , from whom I have procured the following extract . The character of my departed friend is thereiif truly depicted .
" That she was one of those pious Christians whose thoughts are familiar with heavenly subjects , whose richest treasures are deposited in the world of happy spirits , whose delight is ta the law of their Lord , noue who knew her can doubt : her whole life ( and it exceeded
the general period of human existence ) was a life of uniform piety and benevolence ' : the word of God was the delightful study of her youth , the constant companion of her maturer years , and the subject of her animated and grateful reflection to the last period of a protracted life . She never Ceased to be thankful for
the dispensations of the Divine will to mankind ; she perused them with the dutiful attention of a child ,, eager to know the will of her heavenly Father , and desirous to do and to bear that will . She suffered no undue prejudices to warp her understanding , or to blind her
intellectual vision . She earnestly desired to know the truth * as it is in Jesus Christ / and the result of her-most dispassionate and mature investigation of the word of God was , a firm and unalterable conviction , that * there is one <* od , the Father s of whom are all things , and we hi him ; and ene Lord . Jesus Christ , by whom
are all things , and we by him . ' ( 1 Cor « ¦ will . 6 . ) Of her meekness and benevolence , of her lowly-mindedness and genuine Christian humility , and at the same time , of her ardent love for the best interests of mankind ^—the interests of ci vil
and religious liberty—and her lively zeal for the success of the Gospel in the society in which she worshiped and which she adorned by her meek and humble and unpretending virtues , many of those who now hear me cati testify . May we
not then cherish the enlivening hope that so exemplary a woman so faithful a disciple , will hear the voice of her beloved Master—* IVell done , good and faithful servant , enter thou into the joy of thy Lord' ? Surely she , like the good Mary , sat at the feet of Jesus . She chose the
better part . She heard our Lord preach in his word with greater delight than this world can afford to the worldling . May her younger kips women and friends , inay we ali , imitate so good an example , copy the lowliness of her Christian spirit and the purity and piety of her life 5 that we may be found worthy hereafter to join her society and rejoice in her friendship .
