DEATH OF ANOTHER VALUABLE
CITIZEN.

II becomes our painful duty this week again
to place on record The death 81 another yal0a-
bic citizen, cut down ID The prime Of Bis LIE
and Of his useiulness-Dr JoHS s. HARRISON.
Truly our little community has cause 10
mourn. The loss Of two such citizens as HAIR
RIsoN WAITE and DR. HARgIsos, in zone lit
tie week, is indeed lamentable. A friend has
contributed to our columns the annexed just
and appropriate tribute to the memory Of Dr..
H., which viii End a hearty response in the
bosoms Of all who knew him.
Dr. Fl. was buried with Masonic Honors,
being beloved and respected member Of the
Fraternity. A very numerous concourse of
people followed his remains to the grave, and
the sorrow depicted on every countenance, ell
oquently told that another valuable citizen
was dead.
coMMuMcATED.
Last week it fell to our lot to record one Of
the most serious calamities that could have be
fallen this community the untimely demise
ola citizen, cut down in the golden prime Of
his days; one than whom none was more
greatly beloved, none held in higher esteem,
none more extensively useful amongst u.s.
With heavy heart we announce this week
an event no less premature, distressing and ca
lamitous, the death of DIR. JoHs S. HARRI-
SON, who after painful illness of 2 weeks,
was taken out of this world at midnight on
Sunday, May 10th, in the 34th year of his age.
An extended account of those qualities and
that course of action which linked him in close
and friendly relations with men OF every class
and every condition, will notnow be attempted,
and we are persuaded it would be unneces-
sary. 1t is but doing justice TO our fellow-cit-
liens to feel confident that the remembrance of
his virtues and his usefulness, and the heart
felt sense of our loss will not soon be efiaced.
II is deemed enough, and yet not too much
to say that, in the practice Of that benevolent
profession which demands an amount Of self
denial and selfsacrifee, Of mental anxiety,
and bodily exposure, very poorly appreciated -
which brings its practitioner into incessant con-
tact with suffering and disease and death I'M
der all their manifold and revolving aspects
DR.. II. was distinguished for diligence, actiyi-
ty and faithfulness.
Nor let that be forgotten, which during his
life was not chronicled The needy shared
his benefcence. He ever cheerfully, readily
responded to their calls, watched by their couch
of pain, relieved their miseries, receiyed--ask-
ed no compensation therefor.
All know what he was as a citizen, in pub
lie spirit, in activity, in forwardness to take part
in every useful and benevolent enterprise.
At home, it was plainly his delight to exer-
else the pleasant and kindly charities of private
life whilst devoted husband and father he
was at the same time to his surviving parent,
as son all that son could be, all that pa
rent could desire.
