Death oc Capt. EcCready.


Capt J. 8. McCrsady, who was wound
ed in May last, soon after Gon. Grant cross
ed the Rapidau, died in Baltimore, on last
Wednesday, and was buried in the Cadis
Cemetery on Sabbath evening. At first Capt.
McCready's wound was not considered dam
gerous. and it vas even hoped that his arm
might be saved. Subsequently. however,
his arm was amputated, which it was hoped
would render his recovery oartain; and, for q
time, he seemed to be improving. Having
laid in the Hospital at Washington for some
three months where he received tho Kind
attention of his wife and other friends, is
was doomed best to remove him to Baltimore.
where he died, as stated, at the house ofa
friend. It may be truthfully said that, in
the death of Capt. M'Cready, this eommu-
nifty has lost one of its best citizens; the
church an able and efficient minister; and the
country brave and true soldier. In all the
relations oflife, he was enc otthe bestinen We
have ever known-a gentleman, christian.
and patriot When such men fall. the pee-
ple mourn. The funeral of Capt. McCready
was largely attended by the citizens of Cadis
