and walking shoot the Prost' on Thursday, at 0000 00
Saturday he ceased to breathe. Mr. Troves was one who
canna pem away unnoticed. A Christian by profession,
he carried his high principles into every raation o/
they showed themselves In his every day occupations—
in big family—among his workmen--in his large and
Important busing.. In his earlier days—before his
health failed, he took part in every good work, and was
a sesloss teacher in Fordington Sunday school. And
now that he is gone from no we recognise the consisteney
of his life, and remark the simple unobtrusive piety by
which be wudistingaished. And, while his widow and
children bare the sympathy of a larp circle of friends,
and of all who have had any dealings with him, they
have the higher eonsolation of knowing that if his
removal was sudden to them it was not sudden to him
—he had long been waiting for it, and it came to him
• nwallsalla of peace. "His be.' was indeed made In his
sigmas," and his death was robbed of its sting.
