DEATH OF STATE SENATOR CLARK:--The
information Of the death of Mir. Michael ii.
Clark, senator from the Danville district. re.
cciyed here late yesterday evening, was sad
and unexpected news to the members of the
General Assembly and to bis friends in this
city. Mr.. Clark had been long sufferer
from rheumatism, and was in bad health
generally, but it was not for one moment
thought that he was in danger. He was 10
his seat Friday or saturday, and expressed
the opinion that he was getting better Last
session, and this session as we'll, he was COM
PEELED to use in the Senate chamber an easy
chair with high back, upon which he rested
bis head and relieved the rheumatic pains in
the neck. His death, following so close upon
that Of Mr.. Mathew Harrison, Of the House,
will be especially lameuteo. Deceased was
a native Of Ireland, aud was a generous and
warm. hearted man, true to his country, TO
his party, and to his fetlow-maD. His death
will lie formally announced to both houses
to-day, and early adjournmeuts as marks
of respect to bis memory will doubtless be
had.
