The old gentleman was universally respected, a. q
n most honest and conscientious man. He was one OF
those men of whom everybody spoke kindly. He
met with great calamity about ten years ago in the
death of promising of 10 years, who was killed

in this vein. and all his words now rush back to hh
family as if they omnous or almost prophetic OF
his end.
This dreadful affair has of course created great
excitement through our city, and all about the oorng
wherever the news has spread.
