DIED,
On the 18th instant, at Norfolk, Virginia, in the
fifty first year OF her age, Mrs. aENRlETTE
PERCY widow of Commander w. p. Piracy, late
OF the United States Navy, leaving many friends
who deeply mourn her loss.
1t is with much regret that we find the annexed
obituary notice in a Panama paper. Mr.. WAL
LAcH, whose death it announces, was the youngest
of this city, and his early decease will be lanented
by large circle of esteemed relatives and friends
"OBITuAnY.-With no common feelings Of regret
we are called upon to announce the sudden death
Of Mr.. Robert X. WALLACN, for some three years
past resident citizen of Panama. Mr.. w. was
connected by marriage with of the most re.
spectacle native families of this city, and has
borue an excellent reputation and enjoyed the con-
and foreign residents. He had suffered ill health
for some months past, and had been evidently sink
ing gradually. His death, however, was very sud
den; for VIC remember having exchanged a few
words with him in the street on Sunday afternoon,
and in rising in the morning were informed Of
his decease. MIR. WALLAcH was generous, capa-
BILE, and industrious, but he had been singuiarIy
unfortunate, and like many others he could not be
induced to resuscitate his health by prolonged alb
sence from business. He was attached to the house
of Hurtado & Co. at the time of his death"
From the Arkansas Bonner.
OBITUARy.-At five minutes before - o'clock,
on Saturday night, after a short indisposion, of
which no fatal result had been apprehended, Dr.
SHEPHERD LAURIE, in the meridian of life and
in the midst of his usefulness breathed his last,
and before sunrise next morning the melancholy
intelligence was heard by every person in town,
and received in every house with mourning and
tears.
The a." insatiate archer" could not, in this city,
have selected brighter mark. His death was felt
to be general calamity by the whole community,
and by each family rs the loss of one of its own
members.
As physician he was deservedIy eminent, We
had almost said pro eminent, in his profession.
A mind strong, active, and discriminating, train
ed by thorough system of study in the first medi-
cal institutions Of the country, and sharpened by
long and varied practice, had made him familiar
with the pathology of all the diseases of the coun
try, and enabled him at glance TO detect the ma.
ture and location Of every complaint, and to at
tack it at once, by direct and specific means, in
it's stronghold
His fidelity, the almost feminine tenderness of
his attentions, his inexhaustible store of paatves
to assuage pain and give relief, the zeal and
hdence with which he undertook every case, and
the almost invariable success that attended bis
practice, made him sought for both far and near
His presence, BY the eide of q sick couch, inspired
immediate confidence and gave sanguine hope of q
speedy recovery.
Nature had been unusually liberal to him in her
richest favors, giving him a robust form an ele.
CANT person, high spirit that brooked not insult
or injury; varied and brilliant talents, to whi,h
fortune had added all the advantages md accom-
plishments, supplied by a complete course of CO.
iegnte education.
Though possessing much OF the nervous tenn
permanent, and many of the eccentricities that in
variably attend genius, he was ardent and i'm
pusive; in his feelings frank, kind hearted con.
iding, and generous, and by his virtues and tn.
Tents had drawn around him q large circle OF de-
voted friends, and made himself an object of in
terest and attachment to the whole community
among whom he had lived and spent the best part
Of his life
Alas! poor LAURIE, we shall never behold thy
bright face again, zee thee dashing by on thy
professional GRAND, carrying comfort and hope to
the stricken invalid, and gladness the hearts of
surrounding friends; but It will be long ere the
memory Of thy kindness and virtues shall fade
from our memory.
This feeble and hasty tribute gives but poor
account Of thy WORTH and the widespread and
lasting grief caused by thy untimely end.
