THE EVENING NEWS.

working OLD mar engaged IN repairing
and improving the streets of Gold Hill,
for the last three years. His name was
James Barry and a right good, honest,
Woodworking, m~eritorious, economical,
and well-respected old man he was. He
worked in the employ of our town au-
thorities-and right good satisfaction
did he always give TO his employers.
Brought up 10 hard labor, he knew what
it was, il vas q sort Of second nature to
him TO work, 10 be useful, to be a ben
eft TO those whom be served. To labor
and to earn his "bread by the sweat of
his brow" seemed a comfort aud a
pleasure to the old man, rather than a
hardship. But James Bsrry-.he old
laborer and pleasant old man, whom we
have ever met and saiuted with that
dignity which We hold honorable to all
che ions Of tolls no more. He has
gone to his long rest; the clods OF the
valley now have in their sad embrace
all that remains of the mortality Of our
late friend and laborer in the field of
usefulness in the town of Gold Hill.
His remains were buried this morning
in ST. Patrick's Cemetery, after receiv-
ing the solemn burial rites Of the church
to which he belonged, and through
which his true Christian faith directed
his soul to that Higher Church, not
made with hands, eternal in the Heav-
ems. The deceased was taken sick
about two weeks ago, with congestion
Of the lungs, brought on, no doubt, by
hard work. His physician cured him
Of this, but he was soon attacked by
typhoid fever, which terminated his
existence Yesterday morning. Mr. Barry
came to Gold Hill about four years ago,
leaving a wife. daughter and son in the
Eas!. The wife aud daughter have both
since died, but his son still lives, and is
in \ seminary or a college near New
York, 20 whom deceased has left all his
property, By will, made last Saturday,
Col. J. ]. Hays being appointed e1ecu-
tor. Mr.. Barry, when he died, had
about four thousand dollars, in money,
town. securities. and mining stock; as
also some property in New Bedford,
where he has q brother residing, Of
which property he appointed his brother
executor.

chance ever offered to make the Gran
