 Leaving to each one the task o! discrimin- eting under which category to place the re- spectiye individuals here noticed, 1t IS inter- esting to observe how busy Death has been with the distinguished of the earth during the past twelve months.

 The military service at home and abroad also mourns its losses so does the naval; in- deed. the mortality among the superior off, cers of our own navy has been extraordinary. The names of Admirals DahlgFen, Farragut, and Breese; of Commodores Champlin, Ritehis, Boyle, Maiigan, Carter, and Gard. ner, and of Captains, Meade, Robinson, and Harrison, vii! occur to every one. And in the army and the recent military service there ia to be recorded the loss of General George II.
