DIED, in Laurens District, S. C., Sunday evening, the 9th instant, of Typhoid Pneumonia, Miss LAVINIA E. TEAGUE, aged about 17 years, youngest daughter of Elijah Teague. In the prime and buoyancy of youth, this young lady has been cut down and consigned to the tomb, and fond parents, brothers and sisters are left to mourn her untimely departure; but we trust that what is apparently their loss is her gain. Oh! how trying it would be to part with near and dear ones, did we not feel that they go home to the bosom of the Saviour.
"Jesus can make a dying bed.
Feel soft as down pillows are ;
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breath my life out sweetly there."
