DEATH OF GEN. PERSIFER 4. SNITH-This
sad event was duly chronicled in our tele-
graphic column yesterday, as having occurred
on the 10th inst, at Leavenworth, Kansas.
Nearly ever since his service in the Mexican
war General Smith has suffered with chronic
diarrhes, and it is probable that this was the
cause of his death. He leaves widow and an
only son-Dr. Howard Smith, of New Orleans
the child OF his first marriage. His brother
and other relatives reside in Philadelphia. In
his demise the country loses an able and gal
liant officer, and large circle of relatives and
acquaintance will mourn the loss of n va,ued
and excellent friend and most worthy GENTLE
man.
Cen 5. was born in Philadelphia, in No.
vember, 1898, and was in the Goth year of his
age lie was the son of Jonathan Smith. for
mer cashier of the Bank of Pennsylvania. and
afterwards of the Bank of the United States.
After graduating at Princeton, he studied
law under the late Charles Chauncey, ECO, of
Philadelphia, and on his admission to practice.
