DEATH OF TOM WILLIS.

With sincerity and earnestness do We mourn
departed friend. His name WAS Thomas G..
Willis. In all probability he has been gathered
! to his fathers Old age and its incidental in
tirmities conspired against him; and some
months since he was brutally set upon by a
fierce aud cruel dog and 80 injured as to be
partly paralysed. We had known Tom these
thirteen years and more He preceded us as
an early conner to the land of sage and silver.
We shall miss his welcome greeting, miss his
honest face, miss the reciprocal manifestations
of his sympathizing heart. Some years ago
we put small unintentlonal SANDER upon
him. Even before we had retracted the Of
Tending charge, he had forgiven us. Nothing
could be of larger nature, nothing more mag
nifcently unselfsh. Mr. John Fife, one OF
his warmest friends and closest companions,
says he has not been seen for fortnight.
Heaven help him Can he be alive and in
distress2 Better that he were dead than
suffering alone and in friendless agony! Mr..
Thaxter, who has been of late Oneof his most
assiduous friends, gives US his age as some
thing like fourteen. 1t is good old age.
We trust his last hours 1--WE have no doubt
they have Gomez, were passed in peace He
jealousy; left this world as he came into it,
with nothing-no houses or lands no bank
account, no stocks, no boarded wealth. He
needs no labored obituary; but we would be
assured that his final resting place is quiet
and respected Poor Tom! How sweetly he
has brought to a ouietus his useful and I'M
ostentatious life. Requiescat in pace
