Death Of Familiar Aequaintaneo.

The Baltimore clipper Ahhounces The
death, 1t his residence in Baltimore, on
the 18th inst, Of Lronard Jarvis, who was
we'll known in the commercial circles Of
the Northern cities, an1'also IN the landed
circles OF Western Virginia. Nj. Jarvis
claimed large possessions in the counties
Of Randolph, Bath and Highland, some Of
which are now contested by occupants
For number Of years it was as much ex-
pected to see Mr.. Jarvis, with his old blue
cotton umbrella and long tailed blue coat
and brass buttons. as TO see the Judge him
self, when TIE semi.annual terms of the
Federal Court for Western Virginia were
in session in this place. He frequently
addressed himself to the Court ia explains
ton o: his views when it was not done 10
his satisfaction by his counsel. For seve-
raj years past hi. health had failed very
rapidly, and it was Difficult; matte, for
him TO waddle from the Court House TO
the hotel. He was a gertlenan Of fine
historical Information, having read with
evident care many of the most reliable bis.
tones e&tant. He was a great admirer of
Tom Paine and his writings, and, if we
mistake rot, a believer in his theological
views. He was aged seventy-seyen.
