OBITUARY.!

Died in this town on the morning OF
the 22nd Mr.. Leighton Ford. The de-
ceased was born in the State of Pensyl-
vania near the city of Philadelphia. He
was nearly 90 years of age.
1t is not common to hear an individual
in o middle position, i. e. between superb
ors and inferiours in Office spoken of in
terms of the highest praise by 0M The
readers of the "Avis'' will be pleased, |
feel certain, to read of a young gentleman
late ensign on board of the 'Mononga-
haIa"-that is spoken of by superiors in
office, by equals, and loudly by interiors, in
the most respectable and atfectionate terms
for his gentlemanly character and high
moral principles.
MIR. Leighton NJ. Ford died of fever at
the residence of G.. Gyllich Esqr. where
he had been long an inmate. In this
family he was esteemed highly, and re-
ceived that care and attention that we be-
stow on one who has enlisted the best
feelings of our hearts. Even the servants
of that family, this young gentleman was
held in the highest esteem, which shows
that the deceased must have possessed a
most refined and excellent characteFs
His remains were followed by persons of
the highest standing and respectability-
in this community i; and-to say the least
of his funeral-lt was most grand in IFS
character, and the sight the most impos-
ing that has ever been witnessed in this
town. He has left a mother TO mourn his
loss, a sister and two brothers younger
than himself.

1868.
Died in this town on the 9Th instant,
Mrs. Lucretia Marrinella Niles, aged So
years; after a lingering illness of one
year, which she bore with Christian forth
tude. Her remains were taken to the
grave the same afternoon, followed by
many respectable persons. She has left
a husband and two sons to mourn her
loss.
And on the next day, in this town, Mr..
John Hatchett, aged 86 years. A very
old and respectable inhabitant of this ISL
