the illness and death ofthis young man which
seems TO claim particular notice. His thirst for
knowledge and his desire TO be useful induced
him TO enter upon course ofstudy in the face Of
many obstacles, yet by his industry and frmness
OF purpose he had passed through his preparatory
studies and reached the middle of his Sophmore
year in College, when he was arrested by disease
and compelled 10 suspend for time his favour
lite pursuit. For several months his mind was
yed alternately by hope and fear, till in Feb
ruary last. his malady became more violent and
soon extinguished his fondly cherished hopes OF
completing his course of study, For nearly four
tedious months he was confinedto his bed in a
safe of great feebleness and oftentimes Of excTu-
ciating pain, until death kindly terminated his
Sufferings. He died, we trust, the death of the
righteous, Five or six years since he became in
terestedin religion and subsequently, united with
the Congregational Church in Rutland During
his protracted sufferngs, his religious character
was developed in the most pleasing manner. En-
tire resignation 10 the will Of heavenly Father.
patient endurance ofhis Affections, and firm, IN
wavering confidence in the merits and pardoning
love OF Christ were exhibited with remarkable
uniformity as he gradually descended TO the
tomb.

inst. in the Congregational Church, by large
assembly; the sermon was preached by President
Labaree, from Job IA: ID: "Ifa man die shall he
live again"
MI. Bowe was native of Pittsford., at pres
ent most Of his relatives reside in the Western
States, For the information OF those at dis
Stance itmay be proper to add, that the care and
kind sympathies of his fellow students, the IN
wearied efforts of the family ofthe Hon. Doras
lus Wooster, in which he found Second home,
experienced medical skill, and the assiduous at
ention ofan affectionate brother, all combined to
alleviate his suffcrings and soothe his pathway
10 the grave. COMM.
