Departed this life, after lingering Illness on the
night of the Sd inst. Mr.. WILLIAM DUNLAP, of Lam
caster District, in the 18th year of his agc. The
domestic character of the deceased and his unob.
trusive habits may have prevented his namo, being
spread abroad, but with those 10 whom he was
known and who enjoyed his acquaintance, his me-
mory will be cherished and endcarcd. by all the
most tender and afcctionate recolections of life; he
was exemplary, in tho faithful and prompt discharge
of his duties. As husband he was most lffec.
tionatc and devoted; as father, kind and ndutgon
as ncighbor, obiging, benevolent and hospitable,
and as citizen and christian, universally confdod
in, beloved and honorcd. For many years, he has
been jealous and constant member of the Presby-
terian Church, firmly believing in its doctrines and
conforming to its discipline. But, at the same time,
exercising, towards, oil other denominations, the
highest degree &C tolerance, and charity. Indeed,
it may well be said of him., he ,oas Christian; not
alone in profession, but in practice One who obey
cd the prccep. of divine revelation with scrupulous
exactncss but without ostentation. Never has the
writer of this witnessed, 2 more imposing though
humble religious savices, than around the family
altar of the deceased: can he ever forget, the
soothing influence of tht service. The deep and
feryent energy of that voice in prayer though trcm-
bling and broken by age, the unaffected picty
breathod in every word and the perfect sincerity and
confidence of his aspirations were really the out
pouring of tho heart,
He has left bereaved wife and numerous rela-
tions to mourn his loss. -
