DEATH OF JUDoG TAPPAN.--We are
panied to ann ounce that Hon. B. TAPPAN
departed this life on Monday morning
last, at the residence Of his son, E. T.
TAPPAN, Esq, at the advanced age OF
"a years.
Judge T. was one of the Oldest inhab-
ltants Of this section of the State, and
his name is as familiar throughout the
country as that of our nearest relations.
The Judges health had been feeble for
several months, and consequently he was
confined to his room, and our citizens
have not greeted him on the streets as for.
merly, but he has been, and still will be
greatly missed in the community.
