,,ta Septoe Esq. in this city, on Friday evening
Wa have not learned his exact age, but presume
l.s' IA not have been less than seventy years. On
!, morning last his Pastor, Rev. j. D Mitchell
e.h second Presbyt terrain Church, paid deserved
.t1,,o to the many christian virtues which adorned
hn,actcr and alluded in terms AT once eloquent
M Falling to the intimacy which had subsisted for
mn tban thirty years between himself and the de-
aole We believe that during much the larger pc
va 90 his church conncxion Mr.. s. acted as Ruling
III which Office he filed to the en.ire satisfaction

oriyed in this city on Sunday evening last, in COM
,,,y with two officers OF the law from Rockingham
nnnntv Mr. Dunn, it will be remembered, received
i,,orable meation in our columns n few days since.
This worthy gentleman left Lynchbnrg some weeks
si,ce il is supposed, in company with an Ebo- shin
find the property of Thos. Y Moshy, ESQ.,, Of Bed
d but we suppose in illustration Of the old saying
The best of friends must part separation occur
,aa in the Valley-Mr. d. remaining 10 the Old Do
,,inion-his sable hued companion continuing to
,.end his steps in the direction OF more Northern
limo which however, he was destined never to
zach hv reason of being oyertaken By some old ac-
,nnintonces at Cumberland, Md. when almost with
i, sight of the goal of his hopes. Mr.. Dunn was by
some means or other entrapped in the meshes of the
law and in virtue Of that fact we are called upon to
chronicle his arrival in our midst. He paid his re-
spects to his honor, the May or yesterday morning
and was by that unctiouary turned over to the guar
dian care of Mr. Turpin who will overlook his com
fort for the next ten days after which time he will
have Il second appearing before the eef magistrate
of our CITY, on which occasion we hope his Nltuous
character will receive the reward so richly its due
