A GOOD MAN GONE
We regret to hear of the death of N. T. Wynkoop, Esq., Postmaster
at Bellevue. He died on Thursday last. A good citizen, a kind
father, and a lover of his country and the old constitution.
Truly a conservative man, and one in whom the whole community
loved and respected. Peace to his ashes.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS
The revival in the Methodist Church still continues in the full
tide of successful operation. The Pastor, Mr. Swearingen, having
become very exhausted by his incessant labors since the revival
began will probably close it sometime this week. Very nearly a
hundred have made a profession of religion, and about eighty have
been added to the church. Our Methodist friends are making an
effort to provide means for building of a new house of worship,
the present one being entirely too small. It is proposed to build
on Main Street.
