Although struggling against disease and increas-

ness was very brief Coming home from visiting
some patients on Monday evening" he had an
apoplectc attack, from which he only partially
revived, and death released him from suffering in
about thirty-sx hours
Dr. Newell was remarkable man. With
great powers Of perception, sound Judgment, a
steady and skillfu hand, and an earnestness and
enthusiasm for his profession he acquired place
among the learned and skilliul physicians and
surgeons Of his day which all admitted, and null
tltudes gratefully remember. Sell,denying, self
sacrificing and devoted to his patients, even to
great personal discomfort, and risk of health and
even lile,-he went about doing good, when, in
these last few years, he was in such a state of
physical incapacity and exhaustion as to be a
marvel to all who knew him. For forty years
DR.. Newell had practiced his noble profession in
this county, of which he was a native and hum
dreds of people who see this paragraph will
mourn for him as for one who has been a friend
to them in their sorest need and will cherish his
memory with the deepest Affection Caledonian
