Obituary.


For ffty-four days the family and friends oft late
SIMON G. MULDROW, were kept in state of
anxious suspense while the patient sufferer was
graphing with the prevailing disease of that region
Typhoid fever) which though slow and insdious, is
none the less likely to prove fell destroyer to many
ofthe strongest, we'll purest of our afflicted race
Bouvant hope, stimulated by the strength of pure a
lection, called forth during that protracted PERIOD
watchfulness and sleepless assiduty that was truly
remarkable. Nothing that medical skill, sympathis-
ing friends doatng family, and the prompt hand of
ready relief could suggest effect left untried
while though they served to comfort while living, all
those lnsrumentaes were overcome by the cold hand
of death at Il O'Clock P. NJ on the 18th inst.
The deceased was native of South Carolina, the
patriotic defender of his country, who in the
fearful and arduous struggle of the revolution acted as
Commissary, to supply the scanty subsistence avaa-
BILE at that day. to the heroic little band of deyotees to
Liberty, led on by Gen Francis Marion. No wonder
them that the worthy of such sire, should have
been distinguished in his day, for that hospitality
which prompted him to minister to the wants of
his fellow man. The principles implanted by the
early training of devotedy pious mother naturally led
the mind of her son, deeply to contemplate and readi
ly to acknowledge the superior claims of benefcent
Providence, and in more mature years to become
strongly indoctrinated, and famiarzed with the
fortng influences of heartfelt religion, be at
tested by his numerous acquaintance, and especially
by his Presbyterian associates, in whose communion
he lived consistent life and died peaceful DEATH
Blessed with the benefits of liberal education,
(having graduated at Prnceton,) he made choice of
the lagal profession, which he studied in the office of
his Excelency, Gov Miller, who manifested his ap.
probation ofthe merit of his student by making him a
junior partner in the practice of his profession. After
participating in the legislative councils of his native
State and enjoying other evidences of the distinguish
ed consideration of his fellow citizens he left the home
of his childhood in 1884, to seek ample for
tune in the regions of the enterprsing West among
whose generous Inhabitants dimnng veil suffer-
ed to be drawn the bright lustre of his former
good name.
But the earthly Of his usefulness now clos
ed. During the silent watches of the night, when
earth was wrapped in sable shades, his saned spirit
tookits everlasting flight to the fair fields of endless
light and bliss, where doubtless it was beckoned to
place in Abraham's bosom, by his three cherub chill
dren who had preceded the parent to that blissul
home. Then be encouraged We worthy sons of such
a Father-emulate his example, follow in his foot
steps, heed his wise councils, and strive join him in
Heaven.
And to the bereaved, lonely, and heart-sricken
panion of his bosom, would say, be not overwhelmed
but look your savior who has promised to be hus-
band to the widow and who by his death and resurrec
ton has opened up way, by which you may be reuni
ted to companion and children in the the Paradise
above, where blessed be God, there will be more
separation, more sorrow.
