DEATH OF JOHN LARK RIcHARDsoS.-Again the
sad duty devolves on Of chroncing the death of
early, faithful, and esteemed friend. On Wednesday

and the spiri. Of John L. Richardson, in obedience to
the call, winged its flight the undiscovered country
from whose bourne traveller returns In the morn
ing Of life, and the vigor and strength of manhood,
Will. youth and hope revcled in the luxurious pros
pect long and happy career EARTH he was stricken
down by disease, and through months of wearied su
ering, wasted his manly form to the grave But it is
happy thought, and of infinite consolation to his
bereaved relations and friends that the Father who
sent them sanctihed his Affections his eternal well
fare. The dread messenger was calmly welcomed by
him, rs kind angel releasing him from the res,
trials and troubles of this world, to bear his freed and
happy spirit to the presence Of the God who gave IT,
The deceased was endowed with many social vir-
tues, Of noble and manly bearing. Possessing warm
and generous heart he place in the affections OF
all who rightly knew him. properly appreciated his
stern integrity and unflinching fidelity. From the
cradle to the grave tits not long: aud with our de-
parted friend, alas! how short the span Truly in
the midst life We are in death" In the 25h year Of
his age, he has gone down the tomb of his fathers
