The friends Of Mr.. Partridge at
jamestown dispatched his friends here
to the effect that if they would see him
alive they must come at once. This
would indicate that he is sinking very
fast, and perhaps before twenty. -four
hours have elapsed he will have passed
from earth. Mrs. j. G. Dale and the
children Of Mr.. Partridge departed for
jamestown this morning. Our citi-
zens have been hoping almost against
hope for his recovery, and although to
a certain extent prepared to receive
the news of his death, it will be sad
message when it comes. p. S.-Just
before putting our paper to press we
received the news Of Mr.. Partridge's
death, which occurred last evening at
halfpast six o'clock. Further par
ticulars next week.
