ts follows: His work is done, though
his strength is unabated and his intellect
has grown with his years and his heart
has enlarged and mcllowed by his con-
lict>, calumnics and SORROWS not un-
warned. God suddenly called him To
another sphere of being. Long affected
with disease of the heart, known only to
himself, he is stricken with paralysis in
n the midst of his family. For short
ime he rallied, but the complication
with disease of the heart terminated his
iic on the 3lst of July, 1870. n large
'oncOurse Of sorrowins friends met at his
nome To pay the last mourniul duties TO
