Bosrox, Tuesday, jane 20, 1873.
The festivities, of which our city and vicinity
have for several days been the theatre, have been
terminated by the solemn kneli of death. The
Hon. HuGn 5. LEG,RE, Attorney General and
acting Secretary of State died at O'Clock this
merning at the house of George Tcknor Esq. of
this city. He had been Ill from the first moment
of his arrival here but until last night his situa-
ton was not regarded as dangerous. Prevented
by the pressure Of official business from accompa-
Ey!ng the President on his tour from Washing
ton to the East, he came hllhcr at the last mo-
ment TO Join with his associates in the Bunker
Hill Celebration. He was in the rcception-Ioom
of the President on FRIDAY morning; bat, from
that moment to the time of his death. lie was
confined by an illness which has terminated in
his removal from the scene of his earthly labors
and cares. His inability to loin III the cccbra-
ton occasioned much disappointment for though
d stranger here, he was known to be a man of
fine natural powers and Il highly cultivated mind.
His death under such circumstances. far from
home and kindred, is calculated to awaken the
strongest human sympathy. HIS disease was IN
dlccston or stoppage of the bowels; and all the
skill Of his able physician, Dr. Bigclow, was not
sufficient to effect lis removal. have no positive
nformation ut this moment, as to the arrange
ments for the funeral Some say that arrange
ments have been made for the removal of the
body to Washington, and that the President and
suit will depart with it for that place tomorrow;
while others say that it is to be inferred for the
present at Mount Auburn | may perhaps OBJ
tam definite information before closing my letter.
