Dr. Thomas p HOwle, of Richmond, died
IBIS morning at 3 o'clock, at the Naval Hos
Dtsl. He was taken down Thursday, had
tie black vomit last night, and breathed his

victim to that goodness of heart which
Asays characterized him. Inhealth he was
generous companion, and in sickness and
sWrow patient, attentive friend. DR. Crow,
d Richmond, is much better, and DIR Nc
6wel is hard at work.
