THE WIDOW of the late Rev. WM..CREASY
DREW, A. 8., Rector of Sand rington* with EtabingfeYfand
Curate of North Runeton, Norfolk; has, by, the awful visitation •
of Providence,- which suddenly bereaved her of her husband, been r.
left 'without the means of decent support for their Family 'of ten
Children. She brought to her husband a' fortune, which, with •
the addition of his Clerical Emoluments, was for a while compe-
tent to all their wants and wishes. But a series of misfortunes •
gtadually impaired their resources. Mr. Drew's aged parents
fell.
'into pecuniary difficulties, front whiCh he relieved them by. a'.
considerable sacrifice ; and during their last years they were en-
tirely supported by his hand.. His wife's portion consisted partly
of property in shipping, all of which was ultimately lost ; and part
was so circumstanced as to involve him in the. payment' of debts
which did-not really belong to him. Other branches of the family
drew upon the facility of his disposition for supplies which he could
ill afford. He had become a party to a bond for a cOnsiderable sum,
as the marriage-portion or a sister, which; it was calculated, would
he her fair propoition of their father's property at his decease. :rhe
father died insolvent ; and the boitd %Vas, after a partial remission,
discharged by the son. BY-an almost unprecedented' devotion of
themselves to the entire education of their children, Mr. and Mrs.
Drew had avoided great expence : still, the above-mentioned cur-
tailments, and the exigencies of an almost yearly increasing Tinnily,
Pressed bard upon them. In the year 1824, he resolved to'tueetthe
pressure by receiving private pupils. Providence favoured his under-
taking beyond his hopes. He was-appointed to hold a small living,
(Or a term of years, for" the 'veryfrrst young man placed under his
care. The prospects of the family now brightened. There was
even a hope that continued exertion might restore them to the en-
j'lment of an independent competency. In the discharge of his
duty on Easter Sunday last, Mr. Drew caught a severe cold-4m
shtuning fever ensued he survived the immediate attack; but,
his constitution was fatally injured; and the sudden rupture of al
blood-vessel, on the .27th of November, in a moinent terminated I
existepee. No relative of either parent remains from whoth
the family can derive theannallest consolation or relief. 1
