 In Cornwall, on Monday, May 5th, Philo Kel. logg, Esq, aged 69, and on Monday, May 18th Charlotte M, his widow, aged 66.
 These distressing visitations, removing fath. CT and mother within the brief space of two weeks, have shrouded a hitherto happy and ioy. ous household in gloom and desolation. May the Great Comforter give to tho bereaved family all needful resignation, and teach them to bow m patient, though fearful submission to the will of Him, without whose divine providence not even sparrow falleth.
 PHILo KELLOGG belonged pre-eminently to that class of men who are now rapidly passing away, and whose places the rising generation will find It so exceedingly difficult to fill. Commencing life without the aid of powerful patronage or kind, he aspired to, battled for and speedily won . position of prominence among his townsmen. Excelsior" carly became his motto, and by in- oustry perseverance and the strictest integrity, he quickly attained place in the front rank among the worthy citizens of Old Cornwall. Thereia hardly station of public responsibility within the gift of the good people among whom hSresided, but what he has filled repeatedly. and tosuniversal acceptance. Guardianships and trusteeships almost without limit, were conferred upon him, and their duties, frequently delicate and embarrassing, and sometimes vexatious and troublesome, were always punctually, honestly and satisfactorily discharged, He served his na- fre ,oau tive in the Lower House of the Legislature, and in 1S44-45, was Senator from tho l7th District WAlle4caring fos both these trusts he acquitted himsslf with honor, and his manly and upright ceuduct .elicited the sommendation of his Aasso eiates. and the approval of an intslligent, yigi ealy Fsther 60 willed, hs would have been grate- full for continuance of life, but he did not flea, death, and when the struggle came, though seemingly Manquished here, we are we'll assured that through faith he triumphed, and that he nov MeaEs the victor's crown among the just made perfect fn the presence of the Redeemer. He always enjoyed and never betrayed public Gonhdence, and his loss will be most keenly felt m the community where he resided. Society Eill miss an honorable, upright member, the Church liberal supporter, and his family an in. dulgent and affectionate father. His purse was ever open to deserving charity, and the needy he assisted without grudging. His counsels were frequently sought, modestly but fearlessly giv. en- and generally productive of good results He was an obliging nsighbor-a faithful friend prudent counsellor, and safe and reliable guide, and was in all respects fitted to adorn any sphere where inAexible integrity strong. sound practical sense, and an exhaustless fountain oi warm. social affections. have any thing like a just and rational appreciation. n,p, F-.5e, ...sr
 Of the widow who was so soon summoned to follow him, it may well be said, she was suita. ble companion for such a husband. sIn alI the relations of life she was an estimsble woman while as wife and mother she was dearly beloy. edsa The uncomfortable grief of the Afflicted family, and the generous attentions and gushine tearssof the kind, warm-hearted and synpathi zing neighbors, furnish the best attestation tha; the father and tho mother, the husband and tn, wifc.awere held in high regard, and they will b long and sincerely moprned. 9ia .sssssE w.
