OBITUARY..

1t has perhaps never been the lot of our comnu-
nifty to witness a more melancholy instance of the
dspensaton of Divine Providence than that which
has lately been exhibited to Us in the death of Col.
JOHN HUGHES, who died at his residence on
the 18th inst, at o'clock, P. NJ. Afflicted with
but short illness, and one not at all foreboding
fatal result until within few short hours Of his
death, we may well imagine the heartfending grief
of his family and those around him, when they were
unexpectedly called upon to witness SO tragic a
scene. Eulogy upon the deceased is part Of our
present purpose. Suffice it to say, that the unaf
fected grefof those who knew him best, will be an
encomium which the rapid succession of transpiring
events will not soon destroy, and that dark sha-
dow has been cast in our social sphere which the
stream of time and the tears of an afflicted commu-
nifty will alone Eradicate MUDD.
