Much may be said in praise Of our venerable. de-
ceased friend. Mr.: Bushong was en- honest, upright
man, OF amiable disposition, and as SUCH was kind
and at1ectlonate companion and parent and an obg-

cheerfalness as would render him both pleasing and
sgreeable to all with whom he came in con tact Sci
dom, if ever, have we met with q man of a more be-
nevoient temperament AS regards his eligious the

there being no church OF his choice convenient he
did not attach himself to denomination. As one

pected from who enjoyed the christian religion

outer man. He may be said to have been modest
having told but few persons of his hope in
Christ; yet such was the frInness and depth Of his
christian principles that he bore with meekness the
wrongs OF cold and heartless world. He left wife
and seven children all of hom grown, to mourn
his loss ''Mark the perfect man, aud behold the up-
right for the end of that man is peace" Such W as
his end. He died in the full assurance Of bssful
