AT Washington, Con. on the goth Of Oct
Daniel N. Brinsmade, Esq. aged rs. The
death of this gentleman, though at an adyan-
ced age, was unexpected to his friends. Until
two weeks before his decease, he had lived a
stranger to the attacks of disease and to the
common infrmities of old age. Strong in
his natural stitutiOn--remarkably regular
| and temperate in his habits, he seemed when
past the common bout Diary of human life, to.
retain the vigour and activity of youth, While
| his friends were hoping that his life and use
| tsslness might be continued for years to come,
| he fell victim to a fever prevailing in this
place, which has proved fatal to several men
| ef0istinguished worth.
He was the oldest son of the Rev. Daniel
Brinsmade.a former pastor of the Church and
congregation in Washington-and was gradu- 1
ated at Yale College, 1772. Hequalified him
self for the profession of law, and established
himself IN his professional business ia his ma 1
tive town.. He was an active member Of the
Legislature Of the State IN forty, four of its
sessions. He held the Office of Justice of the
Peace 81 years, and for 10 years was one of
! the Judges Of the County Court for Litchfe!d
County ~ years he was town clerk, and %
| years selectman of the town. In all these re-
| sponsble stations, he was enabled to perform
his duty with exemplary fidelity and with sim
gular pnnctuality and dispatch. His mind
was energetic and peculiarly prompt-but its
most distinguished characteristic, was an un-
commonly powerful and retentive memory,
which continued to the end Of his life. No
fact which he had ever knewn--no person
whom ne had ever seen--no name which had
been familiar to his ear, nothing, indeed, which
he had ever heard or read, seemed for mo-
ment beyond the grasp Of his recollectiOn.
Has moral character was uniformly fair to
the eyes of man, through all the stages of his
life--he listened to the Gospel report, acknowl-
edged himself an undescrving sinner, and pro-
fessed hope ia Christ as his divine Saviour
ne had for many years been united to the Wis
IDLE Church Of Christ, was uniformly firm in
his adherence to the evangelical system of
dOctrine--was a constant attendant on the
| worship and ordinances of God, and on the
second Sabbath after he had .worshipped in
the assembly ofhis people, in his earthly tenn
pie. his spirit assembled to Join, it is hoped,
the spirits Of just men made perfect.-Comm.
At New Milford, on the e7th ult. Mrs. Re-
becca Benhann, aged 80 years, wife of the
Rev. Benjamin Benham. 83sss
In Fayal, on the cd Sept. Of apoplexy,
JOHN DABNEY, Esq. Consul General Of
| the u. s. for the Azores. He was a native If
Boston, and son of DIR. Dabney, who removed
to Connecticut at the commencement Of the
Revolutionary War. Mr.. D. had resided,
with his family, at Fayal upwards Of 90 years.
1t is well known that this island contains the
most accessible and safe harbour Of any of THE
Azores, andis the constant resort of shipping
in want Of supplies, in distress, and often mere
wrecks. Perhaps no spot on the globe af-
fOrds greater scope for active benevolence and
hospitality towards those whose :" march is on
| the mountain wave'--and it is believed that M.
person could be found whose natural propen-
sites would stimulate more to the exercise of
those virtues than Mr.. ID. The extent can
be fully appreciated only by those who have
experienced his benefcence. And it may be
safely affirmed that no Consular Flag ever
reflected more credit on its country by the
marked inequalities which have been receiv-
ed under it by the subjects Of most of the
Maritime Powers Of Europe.
