WE are informed by the Overseers of the
Poor that they cannot speak in too high terms
Of the conduct of Mr.. Richards, the proprietor
of Eradley's Hotel in this city. 1t seems that
Mr.. David Mitchell who has been employed as
seward at the Marine Hospital for some time,
and who is Scotchman by birth, without any
relatives or friends in this country, lately died
at his house. Mr.. Richards did all for him that
could lie done, notified the Overseers, had the
services of the Episcopal Church performed
over the deceased, handed over all the effects,
accounting to the Overseers to the fraction of a
cent, said Mitchell leaving quite little sum
deposited in the SAVINGS Bank. This kind
ness and care on the part of Mr.. Richards to-
wards perfect stranger is well worthy of no.
