It is a tribute most justly due to the deceased to say that she was eminently suited to the station in which Providence had placed her, and that her death is felt as a severe calamity, not only by her bereaved partner and her numerous children, of whom eight survive her, but also by all the inhabitants of the village, to whom by her active benevolence and affectionate sympathy she had greatly endeared herself.

Mrs BIGGAR takes this opportunity of returning her sincere and heartfelt
thanks for the sympathy and kindness she has received from all her good
friends on the occasion of her late sorrow and bereavement, and begs to
acquaint them, and the Public in general, that her daughters have opened a
School for the Instruction of Young ladies in good plain education, and
sincerely hopes they may meet with a share of public favour. Mrs BIGGAR has

Died at Graham's Town on the 27th ult after a painful and lingering illness of seven months, Catherine WATHALL, relict of the late William WATHALL, in her 52nd year. The loss of this truly charitable individual will be felt by many, as numbers still exist who were the objects of her bounty. Alike in prosperity and adversity she was never found to relax in her benevolent intentions, or to turn a deaf ear when the voice of misfortune and distress cried pitifully for relief. To the orphan and the friendless she has in several instances been more than an mother, as many will be ready to bear witness; but the pride of her heart was that her benevolence should only be known to the objects of her generosity; and though many among thosw who knew her may refuse a tear to her memory, yet they will not withhold that tribute to departed worth her extensive charities so unassumingly entitle her to. (sic) Peace to her manes! May she never be forgotten! May 1839

MISSING
Died at Graham's Town of Apoplexy on Monday afternoon, the 11th October
1841, Elizabeth JENNINGS, wife of Henry Thomas JENNINGS and relict of the
late Thomas Stephen ROWLES. Deceased was attending to her usual business up
to 8 o'clock on the evening of the previous Saturday, shortly after which
she was seized with the fatal malady which terminated her earthly
existence - and her afflicted family were compelled to witness her last
breath - without even the mournful satisfaction of hearing her dying words
or receiving her parting blessing. She was in the 53rd year of her age. As a
woman of business, perhaps, none ever excelled her; she was one of the most
affectionate and exemplary mothers; a kind and dutiful wife; a sincere and
pious Christian and a credit to her sex. To her bereaved family her loss is
irreparable and is deservedly and universally deplored by a numerous circle
of friends and the community at large. Died at Oatlands on Monday 18th inst after a few hours illness, Caroline, beloved daughter of Colonel and Mrs.SOMERSET, aged 20 years. Died at Graham's Town on Friday 22nd inst Mr.Joseph RICHARDS, a native of Truro, Cornwall, aged 43 years. Deceased was one of the settlers on 1820 and had passed through the various gradations of an emigrant's life with credit to himself and advantage to his adopted country. Though of retired habits and seldom moving out of the domestic circle, he was justly esteemed by those who knew him for his general intelligence and scrupulous integrity in all his dealings. The disease which terminated his mortal career was consumption, greatly aggravated by being driven from his farm, with the loss of all his property, by the Kafir irruption of 1835. For the last twelve months of his life his sufferings were great, but he bore them with the firmness of a man and the patience and resignation of a Christian. A widow and a family of seven children are left to deplore this most afflictive bereavement. To his personal friends his memory will be ever cherished as a bright example of steady attachment and for an exhibition of what the poet meant when he recorded that "An Honest Man is the Noblest Work of God".

We direct the careful attention of those interested in the subject of
Immigration to the communication from Mr.E.R.BELL relating to the
arrangements made by Mr.COCK at the mouth of the Kowie, for the immediate
employment of some newly arrived settlers. We are persuaded that if this
plan be judiciously carried out it will be productive of most important and
beneficial consequences to the Colony. To land proprietors, whose farms are
only partially cultivated, and there are hundreds so situated, it presents
the prospect of certain revenue, and to the country at large the rapid
development of its productive resources.
Besides a great number in small arrivals of twos and threes by other vessels, at all events certainly together not less than 500, a pretty fair promise from this first 'wave of the tide'.
