In recording the above death it is but an act
of Justice to the memory of the deceased to add
that he was an amiable young man, aud enjoyed
the esteem of all who had the pleasure Of MS
acquaintance. There are those in his native
CITY, as well friends as relatives. who will long
remember the excellent traits OF his character
and weep over the early departure OF one, whom
IN know was TO love. Amidst the sorrow that
will be felt for his loss, it will be source OF con-
soIston to reflect that he possessed many virtues
