 MT. Bacon left this country in May last in del- icate state of health. tor. the purpose of visiting England and France, and to take tour of Europe | After spending several months in Paris and Lon- don, he left the latter city in December for Portu- gal and Spain, expecting after passing through those countries to visit Italy and to return home early the ensuing season. It is understood that his general health had been much improved by his { travels in Europe, when he was suddenly attacked by disease at Seville in the form of strangulated herniu; and notwithstanding all the efforts ofcom- petent medical and surgical skill he was, after an
 illness of the brief space of five days, removed from the scenes of time to the dread realities of eternity
 He died in land of strangers with the accents of fial affection on his lips, and with all the camness and fcrtitude of a philosopher and Christian. It will be source of much satisfaction to the numer- ous friends of MT. Bacon in this village and it's vi- cinity to know that the pillow of sickness and of death was in this instance made smooth by the hand of STRANGER--Mr. s. c. H. Ogle of Lon don, then casually in Seville--who devoted him. self to his last moments with all the solcitude of l long cherished friendship. May the richest of l Heavens blessings be showered upon the head of one who, by manifestation of the loftiest senti- ments of philanthropy ,has provedhimselitobe emi- nently worthy of the English name and character. MT. Bacon graduated with high reputation at
 Yale College in 1883. He immediately turned his
 attention to the study of the law, and having ac-
 quired thorough knowledge of the profession as a science, he was admitted tothe bar in New-Haven I He commenced the practice of law in Mobile, Ala
 bama. hemorraghe from the lungs compelled
 him to abandon the brilliant prospects of profess
 sional eminence in that city He then returned to
 this village, and made several highly creditable ef- forts at the bar, but soon became convinced that
 the practice of the law would be incompatible
 ture and the cultivation of his mind. His reading T soon became extensive, and his information on all
 the leading topics of the day accurate and full It f ysouUrrur wnerner any man now living is better
 informed than he was on the subject of the antiou ties of New-England. A few months before he Ieft home, he delivered very able and in-
 teresting address on the subject of Witchcraft in connecticut, at Hartford, before the Connecticut Historical Society, which was received with much appreciation by that learned body. In the Spring or loas' ne was elected Delegate to represent this State in the Harrisbufgh Convention to desig. nate candidate for the Presidency of the United States, and was probably the youngest man in that illustrious assembly. In 1s4o and ls4l he had the honor to represent the town of Litchfield in the e gslature of the State, and in that body soon aco,i red and ever maintained high standing by his gentlemanly and courte ous bearing, bv his firm. ness in asserting his nciples, and by his ability Tn sustaining measures which he believed to be re- quired oy the public good. He possessed an un- commonly capacious mind, and nothing was want. Ing m hls case but the stimulus of some high ex. citing cause to deveope talents of the very first or der. His faults were Jeso, his virtues manv-the former serving only, us in the case of good men gen. eraly, to give bolder relief to the latter. His person was tall and elegant, his head of the finest form, his manners digni6ed and courteous. He was firm believer in the Christian religion and adorn. ed its precepts by an exemplary life To bis [ oereaved parents it is we'll known that he was fem oery attached, and one of the last acts of his life was 10 address to them by the hand of his English iriend letter filled with the tenderest sentiments oI niiai and fraternal affection. How mysterious are the ways of Divine Providence! This ia the. second blow which has fallen on this afflicted fam ny, ihelr second son, Mir Frederick A.
