well-known furniture dealer of this city, who died
on Monday night in house in tue rear Of No. PIG
Dryades street. Mr.. Goddard came to this city
some twenty five or thirty years go, and for long
time did large business but about l84j failed and
lost all he had in the world This stroke seemed
to have broken his heart. for he was never the
same man afterwards Seeking no doubt TO drown
his sorrow in the momentaTy eZhlaration of ardent
spirits, he contracted habit OF Drunkenness

earthly troubles her grief was touching to see. AS
