Died, at his residence, in the county Of Char
loue, on "Wednesday, :2d April, JOHN BAILEY, IN
the 6 LIST year uf his age The disease OF which THIS
truly good man died was Paralysis Of nearly The
whole system. He had started from home on
Friday evening the both, To ride few miles, but
had not proceeded more than one mile when ne
was taken i'll and was unable 10 return or even
to sci on his horse, and was found by neighbours
servant in a state of almost entire insenslbIlly,
who informed his family Immediately: they car
ried him home, and did for him all that affection
could do and all that the skill OF physicians
could suggest. But all was too late His
days were numbered. He was summoned
to that rest 10 which his mind had long
been directed, and the call he was ready 10 meet
EIe died composed, in the the full assurance ofim-
mortality on high Mi. Bailey was member
OF the Methodist church. He has left vile and
seven children to moan their loss. May this sud-
den and unexpected calamity upon his family,
teach us all the importance OF attending 10 the ad
moniton ofour Saviour-"Be ye also ready, FIR
in such an hour as you think not the Son OF Man
comelh." A NEiGnBoR.

Died al his residence, in the county of King
William, on Friday, the Isl May, in the 6lst year
OF his age Mr. LARxiN GARRETT, after an illness
Of eight months, OF Pulmonary Consumption,
leaving widow and six children TO mourn their
loss. The deceased was an old Citizen and had
many warm personal friends, and il is partly Tor
their sake and distant friends that this little lr-
butte is offered. The deceased bore his illness
with great patience and meekness, and gave lesli-
mony in his dying moments 10 The reality Of rell-
zion, By saving that although one may be aiiec-
tionate husband, devoted father, and an indul-
gent master yet these virtues cannot avail with
out the religion OF Jesus Christ. He mentioned
10 a friend, that throughout his illness he had
been engaged in prayer, Tor he felt the need OF 1t,
and that il was his most earnest desire that his
children should all become Christians; and athu'
his friends entertain the hope from all that Trans
pired during his illness, that his spirit is at rest
Our friend and neighbor was an unobtrusive man,
never intermeddlns with the affairs OF others, and
Tor this, as well as for industry and economy, he
sci an example worthy OF imitation BY all. II is
in the bosom of his family however, that his loss
will be most severely felt; for, although most OF
his children have arrived at years of maturity yet
his counsel and advice were always their guide.
Perhaps il was one OF his infrmities 10 love his
children TOO tondly, which he evidenced 10 his
last breath; and it was bur TO witness The heart
rending scenes around his dying bed and The
grave, TO know how much his bcreaved wife and |
children loved him in return We'll, our friend |
and neishbor is gone We shall see his face no
more ill the trump OF God shall summon us all
before the Judgment seat; and the writer would
kindly and afieclionalely admonsh all who sur
yive, "Prepare 10 meet thy God"
