J.F. LIVINGSTON It is with profound regret that we announce the death of Dr. J.F. Livingston, one of our most honored and esteemed fellow citizens, at his residence in our District, on Tuesday evening last. He had been in feeble health for some time past and being naturally of a delicate constitution, fell as easy prey to the destroyer. Dr. Livingston was one of the representative men of our district, and we know not of one who had the rare combination of attributes which make up our intellectual and moral nature, who was better qualified to sustain the honor and integrity, the intelligence and public spirt of our time honored district. Of clear, practical intellect, of even temper, well balanced judgment, of active sympathy and of great purity of character, his influence was felt upon all with whom he came in contact and he exerted a power which was not the less effective that it was quiet and unobtrusive. Universally esteemed for his high integrity and for the beautiful harmony and consistency of his character, he was endeared to the popular heart by his kind, affable and sympathizing temper, and by the genial sunlight of his pure and unselfish nature. We suppose, that there was no one in the district who was more universally beloved and as he had been repeatedly honored with the public confidence, there was no office in the gift of our people, which was not open to his acceptance. The pure and high-minded patriot, the active and public spirited citizen, the sage counselor, the reliable friend, the sincere, zealous Christian, his loss will be equally felt in the social circle and around the domestic hearth. One by one, the worthiest of a past generation, are being removed from our midst, and we are called again and again to take up the lamentation. "Our fathers, where are they, and do the prophets live forever?" "But though dead, they yet speak." Their candle has been removed, not extinguished. The light of their bright examples shines with a serene and steady radiance, even from the tomb, to illuminate our pathway. Let us cherish their memories and emulate their virtues and from this restrospect of the past, and the consolations of the future, borrow the secure hope and unwavering faith which may enable us to hear the call and meet the responsibilities of the present, leaving the future to the All Wise Dispensor of events. The funeral services were conducted at the Upper Long Cane church yesterday morning, and after a very appropriate and impressive discourse by the Rev. A.A. Morse (in the absence of the pastor, Dr. Turner) the remains of the deceased were consigned to their last resting place, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives, friends and acquaintances. -------------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, NOVEMBER 8, 1867 MARRIAGES Married on the 31st of Oct. 1867, by Rev.
