DEATH OF WORTHY MAN,-As We
are going to press we hear, with profound
regret. that our excellent friend, Jesse E.
Dow, Esq, has breathetl his last. He
died suddenly, at half past seven O'Clock
last night, whilst the physicians were con-
sulting on his case. He has fingered du-
ring the past summer; and it was only
three days ago that we met him on the
avenue, cheered up with the hope of're-
covering, and as agreeable as ever. He
was man of decided talent--a beautiful
poetical as well as prose writer-and as
kind and amiable as he was talented
