The Death Of Hon. Eli P. Norton.

From some Of the late Judge Norton's friends
we have communications averring that he received
every kind attention during his sickness, and was
not In position Of absolute want, and from one,
very dear lady friend of his, the Information is
conveyed that "Judge Norton died OF brain dis
ease of a most acute nature, which is true but as
to starvation, and such poverty as to render him
q mendicant there is not a shadow Of truth In It.
For little time past he has been much embar-
raised financially. but still not to Inconvenience
lived Iike gentleman. He desired TO be taken
10 the Providence hospital for quiet and good csre
was accompanied by friends, who provided for
ing the best physicians, and TO leave nothing un-
done for his comfort His affairs, of course, have
deplorable condition represented"
Another friend Of his says:
read the obituary notice of the Hon. L. Z.
and regret, and hasten TO correct some Of the
statements therein contained. Judge Norton
has occupied apartments in my house for nearly
ten years, and has received the comforts aud at
tentions Of home. He went from my house TO
Providence hospital n his own request, reaitztng
that be needed that absolute quiet and rehef
from business demands which Il would be impos-
sible to secure elsewhere. In the two weeks In.
disposition hat preceded his removal he received
every attention that kindred and friendship could
suggest, and while at the hospital constant and
untirirg attention from his attendants. His
friends have been faithful in their efforts to serve
him. well realizing the critical condition in which
he lay, and nothing has been left undone which
could help him or in any way alleviate his suner-
ing. Respectfully yours,
MATILDA SARNIEETo,

AS good, honorable and much beloved as Judge
Norton was IL IS undCU 5tecly true that to him
extreme poverty was the ruling phase Of his hal
lucinatiOn, and so strong was his Imagination on
this poist that 1t led him refuse food In health
Judge Norton was noted epicure, and bis
food was always OF the best and most expensive
kind, and now we suggest that his friends refrain
from writing letters for the press on tbs subject
him to mourn his demise; all admit his worth,
character and gentleness; all know that his stand
ing among gentlemen was first class: therefore,
let him rest in peace, at home In heaven.
