Seldom are we called to chronicle the death o.
one more beloved, or more worthy to be loVeC

unfortunate struggle, ne went forth promptly, as
volunteer, to battle for what he conceived to be

9Th Reg. S. G. V. Hewas very severely wounded
in the battle of "Gaines' Mill on the 9th Of June
1852 and after remaining in the hospital for three
months, he was removed to his home, where he
continued for many months, patient sufferer
from his wound. Nor did he ever recover sufi-
GENTLY to return to the army again during the
war; but was engaged, as his ability would per-
mit in the service Of his country
On the 22d of November last, he left his home

see, he was attacked with disease, but continued
his journey until he reached Clarendon, where he
lay three days and died. His remains were
brought back to his early home, and on the 9th
instant, were inferred in the church yard at Be-
theSda.
He was endowed by his Creator with good un-
derstanding-a sound practical Judgments and
heart of tender affection, and manly generosity
With these natural qualities of the head and heart
he was respected ana cOnflueQ IN by ALL ana Iney

most intimately associated with him. He was re-
markable for his uniform integrity, and his strict
regard for the principles of morality. Although
he had never made public profession of faith in
Christ, yet it was known that his mind was deep
ly impressed with the importance and necessity
of religion and that he occasionally indulged g
hope Of his acceptance with God He said to be-
loved relative just before he left home, that if the
opportunity could now be enjoyed, he would be
glad to unite himself with the church of Christ
before leaving the home Of his childhood. We
trust, therefore, that he by grace renewed, and
prepared, when his summons came, to bid adleu
to earth and earthly associations, and to enter into
the rest of Heaven with the glorious Saviour
May the Lord sanctify this event to the young who
knew him and loved him, and may they heed the
warning which comes up to them from this prov
idence, saying "Be We also ready, for in such an
hour as We think not, the Son of Man cometh.'-
May the sustaining and comforting grace of God
abound to the bereaved family, and may He pre-
pare us for a place in the New Jerusalem where
God shall wipe all tears from our eyes, and where
there shall be no more pain, norsorrow, nor death
but we shall live, and reign with Christ in the full
fruition of God for ever and ever. G.
