died on Sunday morning the % inst,
just about twenty-four hours after
the accident. The funeral obsequies
were held on Tuesday. Rev. c. S.
Hamilton preached an appropriate
and touching sermon to large num-
Der of mourning friends and towns

seemed to pervade every heart. The
friends of the deceased have the pro-
found sympathy of all.
