SUDDEN DEATH OF THE RECTOR.
The excitement of the contest for the guardianship
between the Rev. J. A. Nickles, rector, and Mr. W. R
Cleaves, haa not subsided before we hare the painful duty
of announcing the death of Kr. Heckles, to the great grief
of all acquainted with him, and, producing an indescrib-
able effect on the parish, which has so lately been highly
excited and so solemnly shocked. It was only the
previous week that Mr. Heckles was on the inquest held
on Robert Clarke, shot in the harvest Bald, It seems only
a few days, and is not many weeks, since the Rector's
almost miraculous recovery from lameness astonished
his parishioners, and now the energetic, almost restless,
form is at rest On Thursday the rector attended a School
Board meeting, on Friday he started in the cool of the
evening, with • friend, for Weymouth, An old affection,
supposed to have been principally caused by his
residence in a hot country, cams on again, My.
Becklai was attacked by spitting of blood, and
wee urged to return to Coicksrel. He did so, and
was attended by Dr. Lush; but early in the afternoon of
Saturday he breathed his last The energy of Hr. Heckles
caused him to be widely known, and, remembering the
t smile and the hearty laboriousn of ess the Rector,
fir thoroughness and determination, we cannot but feel
that Chickttrel has last no ordinary man. In many
