honest and trustworthy officer, we have
never known. His friends and rela-
tiVes have been called upon to mourn
his death when in the prime of life
of usefulness. No more on earth will
be heard his gentle and manly voice in
generous council, or kindly admoni-
ton. No more will his genial smiles
shed pleasant rays of sunshine on
dropping and responding hearts:
THE dead are in their silent graves,
And the dew is cold above,
And the living weep and sigh,
Over dust that once was love-"
Friends and kindred are left to feel
the bitter pangs which the cruel mon
ster. death, brings to our hearts by
taking from our midst the loved and
cherished. With his family-those
tender and dear ones to whom he was
bound by the most sacred and endear-
ing ties, and with whom he had so
often at morn and evening gathered
around the happy family freside-in
this, their sad hour of bereavement, a
whole community sympathises. But
alas how unavailing are such sympa-
thies, when every word said in his
praise only reminds them of the ir,
repairble loss they have sustained in
the death of husband and father who
possessed every virtue which adorns
our nature, and which had enshrined
him in their hearts.
With all who knew him
$ His name viii live,
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed by all their hearts can give,
Their praises and their tears"

In Memoriam.

Another of our oldest and most
worthy citizens, has entered the high
road of mortality" and ..gone to that
bourne from whence no traveller re-
turneth."
On Tuesday the 9th instant, at 9
O'Clock M, PHILo ALDEN breathed
his last; aged 66 years, 4 months and
3 days. His death was occasioned by
a fall from mule: while in the act of
mounting, the saddle slightly turned
he fell back, his foot catching in the
stirrup, at which the mule took fright,
ran off and threw the deceased against
a post, producing death in about four
hours.
The deceased was native of Oneida
county, New York. He emigrated to
the South West, and settled in the
parish Of Claiborne, as early as a. D.
1880; and has been intimately and his
torically connected with this section of
The State ever since.
As friend, the deceased was true,
frank, open and confding. As a man
of honor, without the slightest stain
upon his fair escutcheon. AS a gen.
tleman, his bearing was noble and
manly. As father, kind, doting and
indulgent. As a husband. gentle, low
ing and affectionate. As citizen, un-
surpassed in his loyalty and devotion
to country. As an officer, he perform
ed his duties with great honor to him
self and the entire satisfaction of the
public. As a Mason, he had passed
the wells" stood under the 'living
ARCH" and by the test of the signet of
Fidelity, he was ever honored by those
who had tried and knew him as such
worthy Companion. who never de-
serted a friend in the hour of need
And in every department of life. he
performed his part we'll. Who knew
Philo Alden but to love him +! He is
an irrepairable loss to his bereaved
family, and his place in society not
easily filled. When in after life, our
minds shall revert to persons and
things, that once s0ere, the life, charac-
ter and public services of the deceased,
will be themes of grateful remem-
brance:
=" His memory is the shrine
VI pleasant thoughts, soft us the scent of
flowers,
Saln as on MINDLESS eve the suns decline.
Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers.
Rlch as the rainbow with its hues of light,
Fure as the moonshine of an autumn night"
GOOD man, rest in peace
~, Until few fleet severing years have flown,
when meet us at Heavens gate-and lead
as on" n
