high reputation in Europe In private life, Dr.
Forty was the most amable and most modest of
men His manner::h had the artless.simplicity Of
child. He served for some time in Florida as sur
geon to the army, and suffered much from the d.
seases of that region. Excessive mental applica-

somewhat shattered, and on Saturday last, at
peace with God and man-as we have all reason
to beeve-he terminated his useful life at the
early age OF thrty-three years. 1t is proposed to
erect monument to his memory in Greenwood

his lectures on Science. He has selected wide,

doubt that now that the excitement and tumult Of

to one Of these instructive and entertaining
discourses will be like the return Of a beautiful
spring day to the mind, after having passed through
the gloom Of tempestuous night.
