upon the duties Of his profession. After a

Thinking II nigh, be more conductive to his
health, he was induced to retire from the
practice Of medicine, and accept lucrative
offer as agent for an extensive druggist es-
tublishment 10 the city Of New York. In
this business he soon gained by his fidelity
aud energy, the unbounded confidence Of his
employers. But il became painfully evident
more than six months since that his health
was fast declining. Yet neryed by an
ambition conquered only by death, he pros-
eeuted his responsible duties until few
weeks OF his decease, which took place at
the residence OF his father, in Wudham,

murmur escaped his lips, not complaint
was uttered, but all was borne with forti.
tude and patience thot seldom finds paral-

ness and death, cheerful, quiet and serene.
Thus has passed away my much esteem
ed Or. Seeiey. The high estimate first
formed of his noble character has been
strengthened by long Acquaintance. The
writer mourns for a friend departed, but
there is left legacy Of precious memories.
In this severe stroke OF Divine Providence,
his ariable and Sffectionate wife, to whom
he was ardently aud devotedly attached,
deeply mourns the loss OF kind and indul.
gent husband. A lovely little duughter,
seven years of age, the fond fathers pride
and Joy, thus early sheds the orphans tear.
A pious father and mother are bereft of a
most noble and dutiful son. Sister and
brothers weep for one Who was kind and
yielding in his department, strong and or.
dent in his affections. ~ -"
