Departed this life on Wednesday,
17th ult. at his residence in Jones county, the Rev'd
ISHAM REESE, in the 60th year of his age. He had professed, and no
doubt, enjoyed religion 52 years, had faithfully preached the Gospel in
the Methodist order for about 40 years, through all which time his example
has been as a light to influence to virtue and holiness. His last affliction,
which continued for about eight months, be bore with Christian submission
and fortitude, was never heard to murmur or complain, but (as hour holy
religion inspires) meekly sunk into the will of his God, and his spirit
returned to its long sought rest. To his disconsolate widow and children,
the loss is irreparable, but his eternal gain.

Mr. John Whitesett, in the
21st year of his age, late of Rockingham county, North Carolina.
The early exit of Mr. Whitesett,
is lamented, but a few months have elapsed since he quit his native home,
with the tender partner of his bosom, to await his destiny amongst us;
nor was it long before the unfriendly clime brought death. He was an uptight
and an unassuming man, the affectionate husband, and the fond and doting
parent but ere the darling babe could lisp the fond name "father," he expired.
Why speak of him? against him, nothing can be said, -be this his eulogy.
A few days ago, health illumined his cheek; and strength and energy were
his; Now! he lies-and hes without a pulse!-and whre he lies, naught but
sordid dust lies there!!"
