sudden death Of DIR. WV. Posr, at the residence
ofhis brother in-law, Mr.. HENRY L. P,NcKNxY,
near ssatssburg, on Saturday last. But two or

ceive friendly call from DIR. Posr, and to greet
him, In good spirits, at our editorial desk. His
manly face, however, bore tho traces Of disease,
aud during the brief but pleasant conversation
that ensued, he remarked that he suffered from
dyspepsia or disease of the heart. He had loca.
ted, some time after the war, at Baltimore, and
was fast building up there lucrative and inau.
ential practice. Ho was the son of DIR. REUBEN
Posr, pastor Of the Circular Church, of Charles.

and served with distinction, on the Medical staff
Of the late Confederate army, throug Iout the
