But Virtue ESes beyond tie tom5, +"

Bat Virtue ESes beyond aie tomb"
Departed this life, on Tuesday the lst in.
slant, in the 37th year Of his age, Doctor
George A. Thornton, OF this place.
Il is not the design OF the presen, notice
to attempt an elaborate and inflated eulogy
OF the deceased; but simply to pay due re-
spect to departed worth-to record the ac-
knowledged excelIcncies Of an an,iable and
accomplished man, who was 50 eminent in
his profession, sojustly admired in the cir.
Gle OF bisIrieuds, and So tcnderly beloved
in the bosom Of bis family.
10 superior neutral cndowments, he uni.
ted the advantages Of a liberal education,
OF an acquaintance with general science,
and OF an extensive intercourse with polish
ed society. As surgeons and physician he
stood in the foremost rank of his profession,
the Utmost principles OF which he reached
and fathomed more easily than some ac-
quirn its technical terms. With some, the
profession is trade: with him twas science.
And he adoTnedit, not more by his talents,
than by the sua,ity Of his manners, and the
disinerested benevolence ofhis disposition.
As man he was exemplary in the various
walks Of private lie. Alive 10 all the SYM
pathies of friendship, faithful to its claims,
and sedulous in performing its duties, he
was beloved by many who entered with
him on the st2:e Of life, and by many whom
more recent acquaintance inspired with
an esteem not less ar,ient and sincere.
In the tenderrelations of life, he illustrated
especially the amiable sensibilties Of his
heart. As a son and brother, he was duti-
full and affectionate. As husband and IA
ther, he exhibited those virtues which Pc
culiarly adorn that interesting station, and
set an uniform example OF coJugal tender.
ness and parental affection.
He was.a firm believer in the greattruth.
OF christianity; and deeply impressed with
! It's Importance, as affecting the moral and
! social, as well as eternal welfare of man,h
ever gave it his liberal and jealous sup
port. 1t had been lis intention for some
/, time before his fatal sickness, to make .
public profession Of his faith at the altar o
rcdeeming love. His potracted illness
which LEFT him the free use Of his faculties
Afforded him an opportunity Of consumma
ting this great work. He received the Ho
" Eucharist with great devotion, profess
ing to build his hope, as he expressed him
self, "on the rock Jesus Christ" In tb'
triumph Of this hope, he resigned bis spiri
with great tranquility INTO the hands Of hi
creator. His eternity, we trust, will pas
among the spirits Of the great and good; il
