C., Dec. 5, ’97.Dear Argus: — Died, on the morning; of the second instant, “uncle1* Washington Hooks, in the eighty-sixth year of his age: another landmark gone, another Democrat, another Christian passed triumphantly through the gates that ever stand sjar to his home in Heaven. Uncle Washington’s mind fur the last few years has beeu somewhat impaired; latterly, very much so. How sweet is rest after the turmoils of life are over, and we pass over the river to the other shore, where the human form will attain its most exquisite and winning beauty. Here the human iutellect will display its utmost beauty and grace, and reach its consummate perfection; here poetry will utter alike its sweetest and sublimest strains, and attain to the most perfect music of angelic expression, its loftiest and deepest thoughts.Died, on the morning of the third instant. Mr.Tbos.B. Aycock, another good citiz en, gone to that “bourne whence no traveler returns.” One by one, we pass through the pearly gates to our home in the better land; one by one, we wiH meet in the Celestial City, in the midst of which is the great white throne.
