On Tuesday evening August 26rh, at the Con
vent OF the Visitation B. v. NJ, Georgetown, ID
e., Virginia, daughter Of Major Gen. Winieic
Scott, U. S. army, in the 24lh year of her age.


Departed this life on Monday night, the 18th
INST, al II O'clock after painful i!lness Of egh
teen days. of fyPhus Fever in the 33d year Of heu
age, Matilda Beam, wife of COL Joshua Beam
residing at Tunnel Hill, Cleav eland County, leav-
ing behind an attcIionate and much beloved hus
band with six little children, a large number oi
relatives and friends 10 bemoan and deplore her ir-
reparable loss.


1t tmay be said of the deceased, not ia the Ian.
guage OF vain eulogy, but in the sincerity of truth
that TO a strong and cultivated mind she united
those ennobIing graces of the heart, Charity and
Benevolence. Never from her door did the child
OF want or the poor and friendiess depart without
relief; nor did she accompany the gift by scruri
nizing inquiry into !he cause of their distress. II
the applicants for her bounty were poor, it al
she required 10 know:


'.Careless their merits or their faults t. scan,


Her pity gave ere Charity began"


She was not a member of any church or order
but have been informed that for the last few
months she had been much concerned about the
welfare of her never dying and immortal soul
and believe, whenthe Angel Of Death came with
his cold and iron grasp, to summon her Spiri
from this 10 happier and brighter world, uha
she was prepared TO meet her God in peace and
could exclaiIn, as believe IN the Holy enthusiasm
oil dying christian:


"This world recedes! il disappears!


Heaven opens on my eyes my ears
+ With sonuds seraphrc ring:


Lend, lend your wings! / mount! fly


Oh Grave! where is thy victory


Oh death! where is thy sting go

And the lamp Of his love was thy guide through
