OF the 18th instant, DR.. WILLIAM CHIsoLA HoRL.
In the untimely death OF Dr.. William G. Horl-
beck our community has suffered loss which
will be long and deeply felt by the large circle OF
his friends, and especially b. all who have mad
the benefit OF his professional services. Destined,
as 1t seemed by nature, for the profession which
he adopted, endowed with fine and clear Intel.
lect, and with remarkable fondness for medical
and natural science, DR.. Horlbeck gave, at an
early age, promise OF unusual distinction and sue
cess In his calling. After having studied under
the direction OF his father and having graduated
VITA high honor In the Medical College OF his ma.

years at Paris and Vienna, under the n osr dis.

many years surgeon OF the Roper Hospital-during
the war at the head OF q division OF one OF the
largest Confederate Hospitals-he sustained, IN
every public position entrusted to him, high rep

promising Integrity. In his private practice DR..

OF the sick and SUFFERING.
Or, Horlbeck's nrivaie character was adorned by
MANY excellent qualities. He was " q W?aest ana
retiring disposition, rather shrinking from tiiau
courting public notice ana tne acknowidgement
OF his merits; he was simple and pnassumlng In
his habits, domestic In his tastes, strongly at
tached to his family, who looked with jus: pride
upon his professional success; he was good and
proyident father, an afectlonate son, brother and
husband, and true and steadfast friend.
Though his long and painful illness was watch:
ed with unceasng care and anxiety by several Of
the most eminent members OF his profession,
their united Skill has proved unavaillng; he has
been called away from hil field OF usefulns as, cut
down in the best years OF his manhood, and be.
fore the brilliant promise OF his earlier years had
attained TO Its complete fuldlment.
While numerous frenda deeply and sincerely
sympathize with his afflicted family and share
their grief, We can only potut hi' oereaVed widow
and his children, 80 early deprived OF his paternal
care. for comfort and consolation to Him, who is
the Father OF the widows anu the fatherleS5, and
on whose Infinite love and mercy all can safely
