We have barely space to record the
sudden and unexpected decease oil one
of our most prominent citizens, Joseph
OBrien, Esq, who died Saturday. +.
NJ. 10th inst.
Mr.. O'Brien was graduated at Bow
doin in lS47. qualified himselffor the
practice of the law, but subsequently
devoted himself to mercantile pursuits.
in which he was eminently success
full.
He was man of strong powers OF
mind, singularly clear and calm in
judgment and possessed very
thorough knowledge Of business in all
its departments and details.
His acquaintance and connections
in business circles we're very extensive,
and wherever he was known his large
experience, capacity and prompt judg-
ment commanded unqualified respect.
He will be greatly missed n the
spheres of business, and in the circle
of his immediat, friends and relatives
his sudden death will be u source OF
profound sorrow.
He was the last surviving son of the
late Hon. Jeremiah OBrien. lie leaves

His age was 81 years : months.

one quarter unframed The Ell was
not injured

throwing upon the sleeping occupants

Strange to say no one was injured.

The house has heretofore been protect

were removed while making repairs
upon the house, and have not since been
replaced.
Dea. A. informed me that he had no

have been killed by lightning. This is
the first instance Of a house struck by
lightning, In the limits named.
