| In this town on Thursday oflast week, Col
Reuben Skies aged SO years. Perhaps lew
individuals have been more remarkable foi
their; enterprize, industry and perseverance,
than Col. -Sikes.--ln early life, he, in counec.
| ton with Capt Pease (whose death was an.
nounced some fine since,) established the
first line of Stage coaches between New Yorl;
and Boston. This was the foundation of the
great facility of communication which is now
enjoyed by means of these conveyances.-
Col. Skies was kind husband and parent and
has left reputation behind him, which we all
ought to be anxious to acquire and deserve.
In Templeton, on the 10th inst. Mr.. Charles
French, son Of Mr.. Leipha French, aged 81,
young man ofuncommon worth. At an ear
~ period he seemed to soar above every thing
that was mean. dshonorable or triiins, and
| amid the temptations and trials of youthful
virtue, maintained the most incorruptible in
tegrity and unsullied purity. He assumed all
the dignity and manners of ripper age, and
rose to an elevation Of moral character seldom
surpassed or even equalled. Such were his
attention, industry, correctness and fidelity in
business, IN the management ofwhateve: was
entrusted TO his care, such the loveliness Of
his disposition and discreetness of his deport-
ment, as TO secure, not only the confidence
OF his immediate friends, but the esteem and
respect of all who knew him, and to create
in all, the highest hopes Of his future useful
ness. The destruction Of these hopes is a
source of general grief. While his friends
are calleito drink deep of affection in the
irrepafabie loss they sustain in his death sure
ly the recollection Of his many virtues mus,
ningle sweetness in the bitter cup.

VEXrRnoar1sM. Mr.. Tia, lor, a celebrated
Dramatic Ventriloquist is now in this town,
aud will give an exhibition Of his powers this
evening, at Stockwell'= hall. Numerous tes-
timonials, which he produces, state that he has
been in the highest degree successful in every
part Of Europe, and most of the principal pla-
ces in this country.
We add the following extract from the Phil
adelphia Democratic Press.
"Mr. Taylor possesses the power Of Ventril-
cquism in very eminent degree, he initiates
the voice of small boy in trunk, under the
floor, in the ceiling, and even in lady's shoe,
and continues in conversation withhim con-
siderable time; the responses of the artificial
voice are instantaneous, not motion of the
lips or muscle of the countenance is observa-
ole; 1t is an object of great curiosity"
The colloquy, where the voices of a number
of persons are initiated, is really excellent
We are prevented from devoting the usual
attention to the paper this week in conse'
quence Of the indisposition Of the cditor.>
