York to get the frame of the house he was erecting. During his absence, Mr. D. WEBLEY fell ill, and was obliged, as our readers are aware, to return home. The anxiety, watching, and broken rest, consequent thereon, contributed still further to weaken an already debilitated frame. Great difficulty arose in procuring the sort of food necessary for an invalid. On the 29th of Oct., she was seized with a severe attack, and after a severe struggle, in twelve hours breathed her last. It was only by the kindness of the post-master, as the office was closed, that even this imperfect account could be sent. Mr. WEBLEY, at the time Miss Howard wrote, was more calm than could have been expected; but in a sad state of weakness and depression, and the motherless infant seriously ill. The deepest sympathy will be felt, and fervent prayers offered, by all who read these lines, that God may, in His mercy, support our bereaved brother, comfort those friends who are now sorrowing, and sanctify these severe and repeated trials, to the mission band at Jacmel. Miss HARRIS did not intend to return until January, as she was anxious to do all in her power to carry out funds to defray the expenses of the new school house. These tidings have, however, altered her plans. With the self-denial and zeal for which she has always been distinguished, she goes at once to the help of the sick and sorrowing, and will leave by the packet which sails on the 2nd inst. This will be an explanation to her friends in the country who may be expecting a visit or communications from her, of the cause which prevents a fulfilment of these engagements.
