OBITUARY
DIED, on the morning of the 27th ult., at the residence of his brother in this
village, Lieut. Patrick NOBLE, aged 27 years. The subject of this notice, at
an early age of his life, having been inspired with his love of military arms,
and desirous of cultivating this spirit of his childhood, entered the United
States Military Academy at West Point, where he developed to an extraordinary
degree, the predominate features of his mind, and graduated with distinction to
himself with honor to his country.
After finishing his education the same spirit which moved him in his youth
still urged him in manhood. We next hear of him in that celebrated march of
General Kearney's to California, distinguished for sufferings and privations of
the camp, and fare. We find him there in the foremost of danger in the Indian
Warfare, with the confidence of his commander. He was competent in any
emergencies, and was called by him the bold, daring and dashing dragoon." It
was owing to this march that he was prevented from mingling in the late
glorious and brilliant achievements of our arms in Mexico, but it is sufficient
that no one regretted it more than himself. It was however, in obedience to an
order, sought and requested by him to join a portion of his Regiment in the
City of Mexico , that he incurred this disease together with the lamended
Kearney, at Vera Cruz, which eventually terminated fatally.
Thus has passed one of South Carolina's bravest and best of soldiers, after six
years arduous and laborious service in his country. His relatives who are left
to mourn their untimely loss, must have the consolation to know that on account
of his undaunted courage, a firmness that never shrunk from duty, an affable
and gentlemanly deportment and a generous and kind hospitality, encircled
around his campfire many near and devoted friends who together with their
country, feel his loss.

OBITUARY
DIED, on the evening of the 31st ult., Mrs. Jane BASKIN, consort of John
BASKIN Sen'r. of this District. She lived to the good old age of 76 and came
to her grave "like a shock of corn cometh in his season." Affliction had been
her lot for many years which she bore as also her last severe illness, with
patience and resignation and her end was peace. Rarely has the writer met with
an instance of such chastened meekness and humility; in whom there was more of
the "law of kindness in her tongue". In all the relations of life, she was
faithful and kind, and I need scarcely add, that she was beloved. May her
mantle fall upon those whom she has left behind to mourn her loss.
