"The closing scene in the life OF
Governor BRoUGu, as described to us
by an eyewitness, are full OF interest
and pathos. On Monday evening at
about ninc o'clock, the Governor
awakened from the insenslblllly IN
which he had lain for some days, and
at tho request OF bis family who
gathered around his bedside, Surgeon
General Barr informed him that all
which human skill. could do Tor nm
had been attempted, and IN VAN, and
that now no wasjn tho hands OF AL
mighty God. he could not live forty
eighty hours The Governor was
greatly shocked at this announcement
and, looking General Barr in the lace
desired him to repeat what he, had said
General Barr again stated that he had
not forty -oight hours to live. The Go
: vernon then requested that all except
his family and General Barr should
leave the room. Aitcr this had beer
done, he conversed calmly and ration
: ally with his family for some time or
/. private family affairs. y.'
Il Turning TO General Barr, and ap
parently addressing his remarks more
particularly to him, the Governor pro
G cceded to speak of his religious view
;. and hopes. lie said, in substance, tha
4 he was no theologian, and had neve
made any profession Of religion. I'll
