LAST MOMENTS OF DANIEL S. DIcK-
lNsoN.-When he received the intelli.
gence, only two hours before his death,
that his disease would in all human
probability prove fatal, and that the
end was fast approaching, ho heard it
with perfect calmness, and said to his
wife, taking her hand :"Let US meet
it like Christians" After expressing
the deepest affection for, and sending
messages of love to absent embers OF
his family and affectionate advice to
his fatherless grandsons, he became
weaker-so rapidly that he had little
opportunity for speech. AS ho felt the
time was near, he said: F" / am faint"
.-"significant'-" the conflict is strong,
but the other side is oars" Then
raising himself in sitting posture,
and leaning against his brother.in-law,
he gently breathed his last in perfect
calmness, and apparently without suf
fering. MIR. Dickinson had nominated
just prior to his decease, his wife and
brother, as the executrx and executor
of his last will and personal property.
After union of A. years with this
estimable, lady the dying husband
clothed her with his wealth, as an ev-
idence that upto his dying moment
she held the first place in his earthly
affections -BinghamtOn Republican.
