listen to the advice of his doctors, and
resisted the only means of recovery, to
be blooded! The fever rapidly aug
mented, still be considered himself not
lin danger. The bot and fermented
blood mounted.to bis head-on the fifth
! day he was bled, too late he became
aware of his danger, but again too late,
for he was almost immediately after
deprived of speech, and the. loss of his
gigantic mindfoIlewed. From the 18th
when he was blooded, till the reth when
he died, he was delirious, muttered ma
my unconnected sentences, broken
words and wishes, but nothing that could
be clarely defined or noted. He died
perfectly fearless, without the slightest
indignation OF weakness, and all his dis
ljointed sentences gave token of this.
From six in the morning of the 18th till
1six in the evening Of the 18th, be never
STIRRED hand or foot, or showed the least
sign of life, ekcep. low quick breathing
--he then opened his eyes and closed
them instantly forever.

his body conversed in spirit and sent to
