Mr.. Chasrman :-lt becomes my painful and
melancholy duty, to announce the unex pected and
mysterious, and dreadful death of an honorable
member of our Bar, and much respected citizen,
ANDREW CAMPBELL, Esq. Mr. Campbell is no
more. He has been suddenly cut off in the
bloom of youth, and Just as he was commencing
a career of usefulness.

victim expires on bed of affliclion, surrounded
by his friends who smooth the pillow, and render
every office OF kindness, is always monster suf.

the aged, all shrink from his grasp. But when
the dart is sent from the quiver of Death by an
assassin, concealed in ambush, in an unfrequent-

These qualities, with integrity, and degree of
punctuality rarely equalled, and never excelled,

among generous spirits.
This is not the most proper place to pronounce
an eulogy on his character. But my relation
