on TO make an announcement which will
be the occasion of 20 much grief to the
hearts of all friends and acquaintance, as
the following In Bridport, on Friday,
March 10th, died julius A, eldest son of
Chas. n. and Susan Hayward, aged 20
years, 9 months and II days. Admired
and beloved by all who knew him, for his
truly genial nature, and the benevocnce
of his heart, and possessing in abundance,
the means OF usefulness, his death is
looked upon as general bereavement. -
The affliction which his loss, at any time,
must have occasioned TO his beloved pa
rents, is, at present, made doubly erievous
by its close succession upon the death Of
their youngest son, Willie n Hayward,
who died from the effects of the same di-
sease, which proved fatal TO his brother,
On Feb. 9th, aged Is years, 10 months,
and days. Yet with the great grief Of
tins twoiold bereavement is mingled the
blessed consolation which they derive from
the assurance they poses, that both their
sons were in readiness for The change
which awaited them With lirm reli-
ance upon the merits OF their Redeemer,
they have left US forever, but their mem
ory will long be cherished by all who have
known them. OF them, truly may we
say, They were lovely and pleasant in
their lives, and in their death they were
not divided,
