He died in The ODD year of his age. What
an astonishing series Of condolences. Per-
haps The annals of the world do not fun

ret ereptial awe to the dspensations of
Providence SO marked in this instance by
memorable events. We have lost on the

public. We mourn, while we submit To
the blow. The following are the only par

had the misfortune TO differ on many points
with Nh John Adams-but We can never
forget that he WAS the Signer of the Dec
Iaration of Independence, aud one Of the
warm promoters of the American Reyolu

Then burst his mighty heart. On the
9TH of July, 1876, JOHN ADAMS signed
with others, the Declaration of lndepend-
ence. On the 4th of July, 1895, after the
revolution of fifty years, and amidst the
" bells, bonires, * Examinations" which he
had predicted would mark, in all time to
come the anniversary Of that day, this pat
riot statesman breathed his last. Who
does not envy such death, after such a
life? Who does not feel that such fate,
like Heavens own lightning, consecrates,
while il blasts? We cannot mourn that in
the utmost fulness Of years aud of honor,
this man Of the revolution should thus have
been gatheeed TO his fathers. finer.
