DEATH OF JUDGE CLIFFORD.
A Sketch Of the Life Of the DISTINGUISHED
Jurist.

Associate Justice Nathan Clifford died in
Cornish at 9 o'clock yesterday morning at the
| dwelling house of his brother-in-law, Caleb r.
Aver. He was conscious to the last and knew
his wife and children, who were gathered at
his bedside. He was free from pain during
the latter hours of his illness, and his dissou-
| ton was easy.
| The immediate cause Of his death, Dr. VIM.
B. Swasey, his attending physician, informs
us, was senile gangrene, disease which made
| its appearance about four weeks ago Indeed
there was failure of nutrition at both ex-
tremities, the capillaries of the brain and feet
refusing to perform their office, and had not
gangrene came on the fatal result, though de-
layed, could not have long been prevented.
From the time of the attack of aphasia while
on the way to Washington last fall his cond-
ton has been considered hopeless. He was a
feeble man when he undertook that Journey,
and was warned against undergoing so much
fatigue. But the indomitable love for labor
and devotion to the public service which
characterized the eminent jurist urged him to
the risk. When he reached Washington he
was thought to be dying man. But after a
time he rallied, partially recovered speech,
and gained in physical vigor. In the spring
his condition was SO far improved that he was
brought back to this city. He mended more
here, and seven weeks ago was taken to Cor
nish, where marked change for the better
was observed He ccnversed, though hesta-
tlngly, with old acquaintance, rode and
walked about, and during the first of his stay
pursued with much of his old zest, his favorite
recreation of angling After his return from
his third fishing expedition on pulling off his
boots a black spot was discovered on one of
his feet. This speedily developed into gan
greene. He took to his bed four weeks ago
suffering intense pain which lasted till within
few hours of his death. Nothing could be
done to save his life. All that could be done
to relieve his suffering as done, by the physi-
clan and his devoted family. Last Thursday
signs OF speedy death were seen. Hiccoughing
sat in which continued nearly to the last.
Saturday spasmodic contraction of the muscles,
Stimulating commissions made its appearance.
This passed off Sunday, as he began to grow
much weaker. At o'clock yesterday morn
ing it was announced that he was dying. ATT
O'Clock he tried to speak to his wife, but was
unequal to the effort. At o'clock he ceased
to breathe
Judge Clifford's remains were brought to
this city last night. The funeral will take
place Wednesday.
