DEATH OF WILLIAM PITCHER. In the de-
cease OF this gentleman, who died OF typhoid
fever on Sunday night, Belfast has lost IN es
tecmed citizen, and the mercantile community
one Of It's Old and most honored members. Mr..
Pitcher was born in Belfast in 1907, being one
OF a large family Of sons who have continued
eeIlent education, and for several years was "A
school teacher, as we'll As farmer. About thirty
wears ago he became associated with the lale
Daniel Merrill in the produce business at the
location which he has over since occupied.
Mr.. Merrill shortly afterwards retired when
Mr. Pitcher purchased the real estate and sue
Cecded TO the whole business. Being 4 very
active and sa@acious business man, with Il large
acquaintance among producers and dealers in
his l,.4
hay ing correspondents in al the Atlantic and
Guli ports OF the country. As II consequence
he built UP an extensive and thriving business,
III which he recently associated his eldest son
When the great fire of 1873 swept away his
wharf and warehouses, inlctng heavy loss,
he did not despair or dcspond, but set resolute-
Y al work to restore his business facilities. In
fact he laborcd with too much earnestncss, and
his ovcrtaXed strength gave out, just as res
toration was complete He met the fate Of too
many men of active lives, who neglect the
precauton to lay aside burdens and take
that rest which their successful labors have
earned-forgetting that advancing years have
told upon their frames, and that unusual cXer-
ton or exposure may snap the fraI thread of
life. Mr.. Pitcher will be greatly missed and
lamented by his large circle of relatives, and
by the public, especially by those who knew
him more intimately. He was Il man Of most
obgng disposition and kindly impulses, a
peace maker, and Il counsellor always ready
with an encouraging word for those who need
ed it. Positions of honor and trust had sought
him; he had been Mayor of the city for several
years, two or three times member of the Legis-
lature, and was member elect ut his death. lie
was also alderman for his ward the present
year. Mr.. Pitcher married the daughter of
Peter WinsloW, and leaves four ch,ren,-two
sons settled in this city, one daughter the wife
of F. S. Nickerson, Esq, of Boston, and one
the wife Of Edwin G. Fletcher of Camden.
