HAMMOND'S FATHER; s= VERNON,' Ct., Aug. 23d; 1869 DEAR BROTHER MEARS :-Nly dear father went to his reward in heaven on the 6th inst., at 2 o'clockin the morning. He longed to depart and be with Jesus. lie was born Jan. 23d, 1789. , He had as you see, therefore, lived more than "'fourscore years, and ten.' - He'was converted when a yobili, and with the late Dr.' Lee, of Noriiich; began to work for Christ in holding small' meetings in school-houses in the districts around. Since dear mother's death, Feb. 7th, 1855, he has lived in the very t presence of God. All his thoughts have been heavenward. , As his memory failed him he frequently was not satisfied unless we had family prayers several times, night and morning: One Sabbath a few weeks ago, when I was away, preaching in Manchester, Ct , he was engaged in earnest praYer for a bless ing nearly the whole time, awl his pray ers were answered. Mother's last petition (or one of them) that father might be "more heavenly minded," seems to have been answered. Since that time he has been all taken up with the things of eternity. During the past winter I often felt greatly strength ened in my labors whqn,k received a let ter from my sister saying "Father prays for God's blessing upon the meetings every 'day." . . Oh hoW thankful should children be . for praying. parents. Until a little more than a week before his death, he was, for a man of his age well and cheerful. He was then sud aenly paralysed upon his whole left side, so that he could no longer walk, or use his left hand. But he suffered little if any pain, and at last gently fell asleep in Jesus: " Blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep." Yours in Him, E. P. HAMMOND —Prof. Chas. D. Cleveland, a well known and highly respectable citizen of this city, died suddenly of heart disease. • The deceased returned, about two weeks ago with a portion, of his family, fromEniope, where he had spent the last three years for the benefit of his health, and up to within a few hours of his death, was in good spirits and ap parently in his usual health. He was born on December 2d, 1802, at Salem, Massachusetts, and was the son of Rev. Charles Cleveland, of Boston. During. five years of his youthful, life he was employed in, a store, but in 1823 entered Darmouth College, N. H., from which institution he graduated in 1827. He was elected in 1830 Professor of the Latin and 'Greek Languages in Dickin son College; CarliSle ' Pa., and in 1832 Professor. Of Latin Language and Litera ture in the University of New York. In 1834 he, esta:blished in Philadelphia a young ladies' school which enjoyed a high reputation for the thoroughnesS of the discipline and the extended course of studies. ,In 1861 Professor.. Cleve land was appointed Consul at Cardiff, Wales, and after serving for several years resigned this' position and returned to the United States. Professor Cleve •lanctiias written and published numerous educational works, but is best' known for his Conipendiums of England and American, Literature, and his edition of Milton, with a copious verbal index to all, the poems.

Our friends will find at Mr. Waters' store the very best assortment of Organs and Pianos to be foundin the United States.—{Graliani's Magazine. MUNCAL DOINGS.—Since Mr. Horace Waters gave up publishing sheet Music he has devoted his who]e capital and attention to the manufac ture and sale of Pianos and 'Melodeons. He has just issued a catalogue of his new instruments, givinm ' a new scale of prices, which shows a marked reduction from former rates, and his Pianos have recently been awarded the First Premium at several Fairs. Many people of the present day, who are attracted, if not confused, with the flaming advertisements of rival piano houses, probably overlook a modest manufacturer like Mr. Waters; but we happen to know that his instruments earned him a good reputation long before Expositions and the honors" Connected therewith were ever thought of; indeed, we have one of Mr. Waters' piano-fortes now in our resi dence (where it has stood for years,) of which any manufacturer in the world might well he proud. We have always been delighted with it as it sweet-toned and powerful instrument, and there is no doubt of its durability; more than this, some of the best amateur players in the city, as several celebrated pianists, have perform ed' on the said piano, and all pronounced it a su perior andfirst-class instrument.
