Col. VIM. Henderson French Of
Mercer County W. Va, died at
his home, near Princeton, on Mon
day last. He has been in both
Houses of the Va. Legislature, and
was Col. of the 18th Va. Cavalry,
under Gen. jenkins. Those who
are familiar with lis tall person,
and imposing PHYSIQUE, will be sur
pIiscd to learn that hc died of con
sumption. We saw him in Au-
gust last at the bier Of friend,
who had died Of the same disease,
and little thought that in less
Than n year We would be called on
TO chronicle his fall at the hands Of
the same insidiou5 enemy. Col.
French was Il man Of many fine
qualities. IN personal appearance,
hc was athletic and commanding,
in bearing, digniiied, in manners,
polite and pleasing. In his county,
hc Was conspicuous for his worth
and nodcsty. His age we are dis
posed t. estimate at about 55, and,
although a man Of means and -cul-
lure, he never married.
