SAD OCCURRENCE. We sincerely regret to learn that the Rev. Henry Asbury, living near Dry Pond, Lincoln county, died unexpectedly on Thursday last, the 1st of October. Early in the morning of that day, about 7 or 8 o'clock, be complained of feeling unwell with a pain in his body. Alter bathing his side with Kerosene oil he took a seat in front of the fire place in his room, and it is supposed be fainted and fell into the fire, or his clothing caught in some way, for when the family was aroused he was found in the yard with his clothing nearly all burnt off, and in a dying condition. Drs. Sherrill and Rozzell were promptly in attendance but could render no material assistance to the good, great and dying man. He expired about 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr Asbury had been a local Minisier of the Methodist E. Church, South, for over 50 years, and did much good for the cause of religion in bis day and generation. He was over 75 years old, and all who knew him believe that he was prepared to meet the sudden and unexpected summons of his Heavenly father.
