 OBITUARY.
 To write anything that would worthIly be called an obituary of this good old man, is a task for which we are far from being competent. Our acquaintance with him extends back only to the commencement of the publication of the NEWS he having seen copy while on visit to a friend in New York 1: and at once wrote a character. istic letter, congratulating us on it's appear. ance aud wishing us abundant success, Sc. Since that time we have published many of his communications which we know have been largely read by his many Sails bury friends and acquaintances, and have received from him three or four calls while on visit to his old home in this, his na- tive town. MT. Buel was a man whose genial, kindly disposition called to him a very large circle of friends; possessing the happy faculty of making all who met him feel better, more cheerful for having been in his company. We could not have been more surprised, to hear as we did last Saturday, that our venerable friend was no more. On the first day of the present month he penned us his last letter, which we received and published only two short weeks ago. This letter, our readers well remember, was overfowing with good cheer, written as It was on his return from his all summer trip among his relatives and friends at the west; he having arrived as far as Astabula county in Ohio, and in the enjoyment of ordinarily good health, was contemplating in his enthusiasm and zeal for travel, the still greater trip to Califor- mia. By the kindness of merciful Provi- dence he was not permitted to anticipate his early dissolution, but instead was led on in the full enjoyment of all that earth can give, to the cad. Having spent the whole of the present summer, the pleasant season, in our northern climate, visiting each and all his friends, he seems to have come to that perfect readiness of departure; and full of years and honor he has passed to the abode of hls Maker, to Him he has so faithfully served all the years of his long life.
 In the Waterbury American of last Fri day, we find the following remarks con- cerning his sudden decease:
 The scriptural admonition that "in the midst of life we are in death' has rarely been more i'm pressively verified than in the sudden death of Mr. Elipha.et Buel, who died at a friends house in Brooklyn, on Thursday afternoon, at the age of S6 years. He was a man, who during his long life had hardly known what a sick day was He wac on his way home from visiting daughter in Iowa in his usual health, when on reaching Brooklyn he was taken down with lung fever, never to reach his home alive He was native of Salisbury, was invited by his sons, Norton J and Theadore, to make his home with them, where he las since resided an honored and beloved guest He was of kind, genial and cheerful disposition, agreed ble manners and highly esteemed by all who en- joyed his acquaintance, Christian gentleman of the old school, whose memory will long be cher ished in the community.
