CHARLES n. RIKLDAL.

The sad tidings of the premature decease of our
fellow citizen and friend, Charles NJ WiKidal will
everywhere be received with deep regret. In him
society has lost one of its brightest ornaments for
no man was ever better fitted than he to adorn the
varied walks of social life.
There is no need of a long array, of high-sound-
ing phrases whereby to do honor to his character
and virtue; one word gives expression to the
whole; and when we say that he was, in the high
est aud fullest sense Of the word, gentleman,
the tale has been well nigh told The number OF
his friends was legion. Nor is it strange that it
should be so. The frankness and courtesy of his
manners never failed to attract and captvate
those with whom he was brought into contact and
we may venture, with all confidence to affirm
that while he thus invariably and readily made
friends he as readily and invariably returned
them. Cut off in the midst of his days, proud
career of honors and profit, he yet lived long
enough to make place for himself in many
hearts and still lives in the memory of those who
called him friend And not here alone; far away
in the Quaker City of the east his unhappy end
has made many sad, has made many sorrowfully
recall the pleasant hours that so quickly fled in
the company of Charles NJ. Wikidal EEK,

that the late John Mitchell, who was
elected a member of the British Parlia-

in fact citizen OF the United States, as
appears from transcripts Of records re-

presumed that the Government of Great
