died on Friday night, at his residence near
Montrose, in this county, after painful
illness Of few days. Mr. Stuart in an
eminent degree possessed the qualities
which commanded the highest respectand
esteem Of All who knew him A man Of
stric, integrity, and upright in all hiz deal
iugs, he was also peculiarly afable, and
considerate Of the rights and feelings of
his neighbors. As a large and enterpri-

improvements Of the times, he was widely
known throughout The State, and especial

be more severely felt in the circles in
which he has so long been prominent
