HAGLEY-At the residence of Andrew Moscript.
! in Herrick, April ID, 1865 of Chronic Diarrhoea
Miles p. Hagley, of Co. II, 18th Conn. Vol, aged
"a years.
! JAMES ID. HUMPHREY departed this life at
Towanda, April 26 1865. Born in NIassachu-
settes, his father removed to Orwell where he was
known practisingphysici and the son passed
the first active years of early manhood. In 1865
the subject of our sketch came to Tow,nda, es-
tablished himself in business which he prosecuted
with assiduity and success. Returning to Orwell
for a temporary sourn i'll the fall of 1861, he was
prostrated by sickness of four months, during
the past winter. On recovering he resumed his
place i'll the old circle of his friends III town. by
whom he was most warmly welcomed and the hope
cherished. that his familiar face would long remain
to greet them the street and i'll the Sanctuary.
But lie who doeth all things well, had ordained
a better portion for this His servant. The bright
and cheerful spirit with which he resumed his du-
ties citizen among us, like the flame,
which shoots up cheerfully around the embers, a
mere premonition that the fire is ready to go out
constitution naturally feeble proved to be under
mined beyond recovery. The springs Of life
exhausted and nature failed to rally under
the application of medicine. Slow almost insen-
sbly free from pain-the good man sank to his
rest . He is not for God took him.
On the following sabbath-amid the balmy air
of spring morning-the bright sun overhead and
the opening leaves Of the woods around all so sug-
gestive of the Resurrection of the Just" "a long
procession pursued its way to Orwell-Hin, where
after religious service III the Presbyterian Church,
We laid him down. of those pretty green
slopes, beside the remains of his father. His
mother, truly IA mother i'll Israel" venerable in
age, was present, ald still waits her appointed
time. The whole surrounding country contributed
to swell the number that followed to the burial
The sad countenances Of the citizens of Orwell be-
tayed their sincere mourning for the dead and in
comfort OF those who came from abroad, they
showed a warm heart and delcacy of feeling
which are worthy of the highest praise.
Thus has passed away whose sterling mod
esty would forbid labored epitaph. But i'll all
the relations OF life as the honored head of a fam
lily. marked by diligence and strict integrity in
business, as the popular Superintendent Of the
Sabbath School, the judicious and exemplary
Ruling Elder i'll the house of God-but above all
the humble and lowly minded belieyer-who
peacefully trusts, alone i'll the merits of the Re
deemer we find it in hearts to pay this tribute
to his memory. Precious in the sight of the
Lord, is the death of His lambs
- Lites duty done-as sinks the clay,
Light from it's load, the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when he dies
