Der of years. He removed from Catskill to

1890, where he continued uninlefuredly to
reside until has death, period of 30 years.
Mr.. Garfield was learned and intellec-
tuai man, and would have taken high pc.
sition at the bar of this s;ale, but for dis.
ease, which preyed upon his constitution,
impaired his physical strength and ability,
and fnaliy has brought him 10 the close Of
his earthly pilgrimage. Notwithstanding
the state of his health, he held several prom
inent civil stations, and was for many years
in public employment, and enjoyed the con-
6dence Of some of the most distinguished
men of our country, among others. Madison,
Munrce, and the late John @. Adams.-
From the former he received the first i'm
poItant appointment in 1918. and from the

truth. that the strong and prominent fea-
lures OF his character, we're an entire indie
PeOdence Of opinion, and strict honesty, 40
honesty that no change of time or circam.

bend or alter. He was kind neighbor and
warm friend, and all who stood in those re-
laiions to him, viii most deeply deplore his
death.
As a citizen. ME-. Garfield comma nded
the highest respect and confidence Of his
fellow citizens. But il was in the family
circle and at the 6re-side that his virtues
expanded aud his affections unfoided, Ma
ture had bestowed upon him those kindly
attributes Of the mind, and tender sensibil.
tiles which Pecul arly qualify a person TO
adorn and make cheerful the family circle !;
and in the indulgence of those affections,
surrounded by those he loved and cherished,
the latter years Of his life we're cheerfully
passed. At more than three score years
aud ten, he has decended to the grave
mourned by bereaved family and SYM
paIhising community.
