DEATH OF MR. SMITH. OF DE_ NST

We are sorry to bars to sterocnce the den

Mr. Smith was a MP mber of the 61.sgvw )Ih:esl
Society, to whose transactions he contnotrel see,
por:ssit scientific papers. He had been latter.; cud !
reporting to the board of Health on the untidy
of different districts in Eneland. From a sketch of Lis
whi:h appeueu in the Renfreteshir e Jlugrazi se three yens
ago we glean the following perticulars ut ho. career

James Smith, of Deanaton, was b3m in Omigow.
the 3rd of Jan , 1789. His grandfather was a briar:
t amyl, of the Scottish peasantry—a man of sterling w,:r:a
and strict integrity. The father of the auhiett of this rare-
fies received a good education, came to o:ussOW, engsgel
in bu.inem eventually became a very wraliny man, and
marred a daughter of Mr. Buchanan, of Carcon—a
proprietor in the western division of the county 01 !4:.r1:,.2.
In two months after the birth of his only sm, be di
hit him to the entire guidance of his widow—a lads ty

youngest brother, who at that time was the
partner elver,' extensive cotton works at Delne-oc,
beautiful village, situated on the romantic ricer o: I
about eight miles north-west of Stirling. Pr. ei h. ;a
he was the pupil and friend of the c,:.

His education was finished at the tjuiVersiiy
though the principal and most important par; _
have been acquired in private schools. Aver
university, he went to reside with his 41.0;e, w .
previously removed from Deanston to the Carrie. .0
Ayrshire, belonging to the same firm. where he devoted Ls
energies to the attainment of a thorough knowleige of
numerous intricacies of both mechantcs and codon opton.hz.
So determined was he bimselt to attain a knowlidge of a;o
latter, that he entered the factory in a me; Icarob.e sts
working, at the same time, 12 hours a as) ; and. by .
sheer industry, he attained such an intinwe know .e.
