DIED,

In DupliR county, on the morning Of the 3lst
October, Mr. VIM. arr. aged 49 years. 8 months
and days. S0ldom we called upon to record
death SO much to be deplored as the above In
MIR. Carr was happily blended rare asscmbage
ofall thoSe virtues, which carahcterize the gentleman
the benevolent and the kind and obligng neighhor,
and the affectionate parent. But the chief excel.
lence of this aIpiabe man, consisted in his stern
moral and religious principle. ----~--~~
Early trained by piouz mother, (whosc name
he never mentioned but with emotions of the deep
est gratitude) to cherish a respect for the name,
the attributes and the word of God and especially
tor the doctrines ofIhe PrCsby church. Of which
he was a member and ruling elder he was ever
careful to nurture and cxempify the principles thus
early incucated. so as to gIorify God and honor
the memory of her who bad in..illed them
The Grove church has lost one of its brightest
ornaments. The community in which he resided
one OF It's most u:eful members, and his bcreaved
wife and orphan children, three in number, have
sustained an irreparable loss. For them, howey-
er, in this sad bereavement, there remains bright
and consoling evidence that, what is their loss, is
his everlasting gain; that hs has only been re-
leased from his sufferings here,t to enter upon his
reward in that brighter and better world, whero
sorrow is known no more forever; that he has
only resigned his place in the church militant to
join the church triumphant, and that his happy
spirit has BEEN received into the society of the
blood washed throng, whose names are written in
heaven, to unite in singing the song Of praise anu
victory. Then, to those who are bemoaning his
death. we would say, weep not, as those who have
no hope, but endeavor to emulate his virtues, 50
that when you come TO resign your places here, YOU
may join him in the abodes ofeverlssting felicity
