DEATH or DR.. PATRICK W., ,BRoWS.-Dr.

known and most popular physicians OF this
city, died at bis residence, on Third street,
about . o'clock Monday morning. About two
weeks ago ne was taken With dySentcry, and
though at first it seemed TO yield to treat
mcnt, in few days it assumed malignant
type. and his case became hopeless. For
several months Dr.. Brown, though appa-
rcutIy enjoying the very best health, seemed
to have Il prcScntiment that he would not
live throughout the summer. Very recently
he connected himself with st. James Episco.
pal church. and was baptized and received
the communion. In bis illness he suffered
little acu,e pain, but rested very badly,
and in six or seven days probably did
not have more than one or two hours
sound sleep. He WAS conscious to the
last, aud was perfectly resigned to his
fate. Indeed, one who was his constant at
tcudant says that it was Il pleasure to be at
his bedside. so firm WAS his reliance in the
mercy of Goa. and 50 we'll satisfied was he
that he would bc better oil in another world.
DR.. Brown was born in Richmond in
lSlG, and received his medical education IN
Philadelphia. He was Tor many years in the
enjoy ment Of Il large practice, but he lately
confined his visits TO a few families, with
vi hom he had been many years associated.
He was always alive TO the demands OF
CHARITY, and was much beloved by the pOor,to
whom he rendered much gratuitOus service.
He leaves i brother residing in this city and
another who IS Il citizen OF New York. Mr.
Thomas Brown, one OF bis brothers, died
jllst TWO mouths ago.
DR.. Brown was Il member of st. Alban's
Royal Arch Chapter and OF Loge FIancal>e
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. His
funeral will take place from St. james church
tins evening at Al o'clock, and his remains
will be escorted to Hollywood Cemetery anC
