Died:  In Oxford, on the 8th inst., Mr. Levi Eggleston, aged 53 years.  The wing of the dark Angel has again o'er shadowed a happy home, and a beloved husband, a fond father, a kind neighbor, and cherished friend, has gone from among us.  The bereavement is to his family of a peculiarly trying nature, but even in this hour of anguish, the faith which he cherished in life, and which guided and supported him through the valley and shadow of death consoles them also.  The sick and sorrowing will miss one whose generous heart would promote more than his willing hand could do, but the God of the widow and the fatherless, can alone support the wife and children, and to that source of consoling love we commend them.
