AT the residence of his father in the county al
Prince Edward, on the 10th of June. J. COOP.
RICH LIGON Of the Prince Edward troop Just
one ear ago he left his home its sweeta it's ulee
sures, sundered the ties which bound him 10 his
family and TO s friends TO aid in driving the rui HESS
invader from the land of his birth. For twelve
months he endured the hardshps and faced the
dangers OF a soldiers life in a manner which won
for him the high approval OF his officers, the es
TEEN and confidence of each of his comrades Rv
his generosity amiabiIity ceutIeness knduess and
pietv lie endeared himself to all Prostrate from
exertiors in the cause of freedom he reached his
home and after an illness of thirteen DAYS passed
from time TO eternity from the gloom Of earth to
the glory of Heaven In his death his family has
lost an endeared son, an affectionate brothers bis
troop a valuable member his country brave sol
der But enc month ago we bid him farewell
hoping as we did that the comforts of hi; harne
and the attentions OF his friends would recruit him
sufficiently to resume the labors of a soldier Alas
how often our hopes deceive us. He has fallen a
martyr TO liberty We weep not as those without
nope Tor we nave reason TO trust ard believe that
he has been but removed from this vale Of tears To
that origat world above where redeemed spirits
VIII ever bask In the sunlight from Ssviours face
