time. The Captain was native o.
New Jersey, but when an Infant came
to this county with his parents, ant
has considered it his home eyer
: since, though he spent number Of
years in the southern states and OF
southern rivers, where he acquired
, his title. He was a genial, social
man, widely known and universally
respected He will be missed from

aged it's business successfully. HI
leaves a most estimable wife and nu
merous friends and relatives to mourn
his loss. For a number of years h
