vet health, apparently. until six months ago,
Nntn cancer appeared on his right cheek,
which developed itself so quickly as to cause
me most serious appIehensiUns 10 his family
ana friends. He consulted eminent physicians
OF TINS city and Baltimore also, whose skill
was OF no avail, and, "a q last resort, he went
10 the springs at ST. Adams, Vermont, the
waters OF which are said TO be a special cura-
i've OF cancer. He remained there some time
without sny perceptible improvement, and
came home TO die. The members of his congre-
CATION have been unceasing in their efforts to
alleviate the terrible agonies of pam, which he
endured with the most christian fortitude. For
twelve days prior TO his death he has been I'M
able 10 take nourIshment of any kind, on &c.
connt OF cancer which appeared on his tongue
two months since, and developed itself as rap
IDLY as the one on his face.

con OF Judge Odds, Of Ohio. Early in Life he
moved rom OHIO to Wisconsin, wher. he
studied and practiced law. He served gallant.
