DIED,
In this city, on Wednesday the 24th of February, 1862, in the 29th year of her age, ELIZABETH CARTER WICKHAM, the wife of John Wickham, leaving a tender babe and a devoted husband to mourn, with many loving friends, their grievous loss.
Her life-pure, holy, and full of beauty-was a daily illustration of the grace of God, in likening His children unto Himself. Her death was a striking exemplification of the perfect confidence and peaceful resignation with which the King of Terrors may be met by those who love the Lord Jesus.
thus hath God, in His love, taken unto Himself, away from those who loved her on earth, one of the loveliest of His own children, just entered on the threshold of life, full of love, beauty, health and happiness.
"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
The friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral services at St. Paul's Church, this evening at 4 1/2 o'clock. The interment will take place at Shirley, in Charles City county.

Obituary,
Died, in this city, on Tuesday, January 28th, after a brief and painful illness, MARY LOUISA, wife of Peter C. Warwick, Esq., in the 27th year of her age.
Seldom has death pointed his shaft at so bright and shining a mark. Gifted with a mind of the most refined order and character, and a person of exceeding loveliness, she won the admiration of every beholder wherever she appeared. But, alas! like a meteor, she is lost to our view and extinguished forever! The qualities of her heart full equalled those of her mind and person. Gentle and affectionate in her manners, she drew around her a wide circle of friends, who will keenly and deeply deplore her loss. In all the relations of life, as wife, mother, daughter, and sister, she was the beloved and cherished idol of her family. About two years ago she became a communicaut of St. Paul's Church, and since that period has proved a pious and consistent Christian-"adorning the doctrine of God, her Saviour," and setting an example of Christian charcter which added a halo of holiness and purity to her other winning qualities. Upon her afflicted husband and relatives this crushing blow will fall with stunning force; but from the bright bow of Heaven, where she now is, she bids them not weep. "She is not lost, but gone before."
"If all that mortals know of good below,
If all that virtue can on earth bestow,
Could aught avail, we should not now have shed
The tear of sorrow o'er her narrow bed;
By all who saw admired, who knew beloved,
By all, yet more by Heaven her worth approved;
An angel's purity on earth to stay,
God saw not fit, and called his own away."

OBITUARY,
Departed this life on the 24th inst., at his residence, Allen's Creek,(Hanover) Captain PHILIP WOODSON, Sr., in the 79th year of his age. He was confined to his languishing bed and sick room about two months previous to his dissolution, during all which time he was never heard to complain, but without a murmur he patiently and with Christian resignation awaited the hour for his departure from time to eternity. He died perfectly in his senses and without a struggle, fully resigned; assuring his family and friends that his faith and reliance on his Saviour, had disarmed death of all his terrors, and that his hope for a blissful immortality beyond the grave was bright, firm and unshaken. He, for about fifteen years was a zealous, devoted and warm-hearted Christian; he attached himself to the Baptist Church, and lived and died one of its most consistent and exemplary members. Of the deceased, it may be truly said, none were ever heard to utter a word of harm. No, not one, for he was beloved by all who knew him. He has left behind him to mourn over his irreparable loss an aged and afflicted partner with whom he lived in perfect connubial peace and bliss for nearly fifty-six years, and to whom he said a short time before he died, it would not be long before she would follow him, and that they would be again united in Heaven.
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Yea: they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
