 This good man was widely connected | ~nM u{o fnuaral yyu att od
 on Sunday. the 7lh inst, by very large
 concourse of relatives and friends. He was the last of ten children, six COTS and four daughters; two of the brothers preceded
 him but few months to the grave He
 united with the Church in East Cana,
 in April lsl6, being with one exception
 the oldest surviving memt CT, and has been
 absent from the con munion seasons but twice in ffiy-nine years, once whtn he was sick, and once when he was absent
 from town. He was ordain' d deacon of the church in Sept. ls36. and has servd d most acctptably and faithfully in that flee, and has been an efficient helper, 6
 wise counsellor, ard hearty supporter of the goepel, through all these years. He
 was lover of sacred song, his voice was
 always heard in the social meetings, ard quite lately 1t fell to him on che or two | occasions 10 strike the tune. His health , was Qutto uVul, euAuhuk him uuiInk buib ,, cold winter to be constantly abroad, 10 business, and especially to attend to funerals, ar d to show his loving pres, nee in tho house of prayer, His last illnt ss r was short, and he set med truly like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. He D spoke of the peaceful trust, ard of the
 times of trial when God bad been with him , before. From that same room five mt m- bes of his family had pass. to the other shore. His death was . fitting clt SC of an { exemplary faithful and consistent thIis. , tian life. He was one who imprt ssed al with the sincerity of his pitty, and of whom all speak as 6 truly good man. He was one of the class in whom Dr. Christ } Heb refers as furnishing the most satisfar. tory answer to skeptics, and as constituting the best book of evidences of the christian
 faith. The remarks at the funeral were hemmed In by the two texts "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches ;" and, !" Blessed are the dead which
 die in the Lord" ...#
