T8BnDIED—in thin city on Saturday lout, after cg an illness of only six day*, William Israel, only child of Gen. Augustus C. and Mrs Clara rc Ann Dodge, aged 17 months and 26 days. The death of so lovely and interesting a child, would have been a source of deep grief to its parents at any time, but under the peculiarly iat lry*n£ circumstances it was most allcctingly so, being themselves both confined to a sick j bed and compelled to witness the ravages o^ disease upon its beautiful frame, without the ability to soothe one pain in its passage to its early tomb.“As the sweet, flower that scents the morn. Hut withers in the rising day;Thus lovely was this infant’s dawn;Thus swiftly fled its life away.It died ere its expanding soul Had ever burnt with wrong desires,Had ever spurned at heaven’s control,Or ever quenched its sacred fires.It died to sin, it died to cares,But for a moment felt the rod:—O mourner! such, the Lord declares Such are the children of our God!”DIED—At his residence, in Fort Madison, I. T. July 26th, Mr. MATTHEW YOUNG, aged 28 years.In this city, on the 3lst ult., Mr SAMUEL MCGARY, late of Marshall county, Va, aged 21 years.
