day the 10th instant, about noon, in the
I'D year of his age. He had resided in

ring nearly the whole of whiehFtime he
was Magistrate of the county. He held
the office of High Sheriff for one term

fellow-citizens as representative ofthe

his removal to this place. In all the pub.
lie trusts to which he was called-and
they were numerous, including those of
a minor characterize acquitted himself
with fidelity and honor.-With regard
to none of them can aught be said to the
prejudice Of his memory. This is an
encOmium, which, perhaps, could be
pronounced on few, with equal truth,
who have been so much in public life
Asa husband, he was indulgent and af-
tectionate-as a friend, steadfast and I'M
wavering-as citizen, liberal and en-
terPrizing.-The Presbyterian Church
has lostin him one of its most valuable
members. He was generous in his sup
port of the Church of his choice, s. the

guish the age in which we live
When such man dies, his loss is seri-
ously fe't-but our loss is his gain we
