IGHACE RGDR1aUEZ, a native of this parish,

Mr. Rodriguez has resided in Donaldsonville
| many years. and enjoyed the general esteem of
the community as good citizen and upright
| man. He was attacked by small pox last week.
and although the attending physician did not
regard the case severe Or necessarily dangerous,
| as we are informed, the patient was apprehen-
sive of death from the outset, and no doubt this
unfortunate condition of his mind had much TO
do with the fatal termination of his illness. He
leaves vito and five children to mourn him.

The death Of this cstimable young man has
cast gloom OF sadness over largo circle of
relatives and friends. He was Ill only short
time having boon first attacked Friday even
ing Of last week, ard the shock which has
been sustained by those rear and dear to him
was increased III effect BY its comparatively
sudden ard unexpected character. He was at
tended by Dr.. Schwing and Drs. Posteil, father
and son. whose greet skill ,vaa assidUousis ex-
orc,sed III the vain aIGeavoT to stay the progress
of his Illness and ward off the approach, Of the
grim destroyer to whom all humanity must
sooner or later yield up the boon of earthly ex
istence. To these faithful physicians the grief
stricken family tender deepest thanks for their
nareulttlly efforts to save the loved o.:o5 life
and especial gratitude to young DR.. Lawrence
Postal, who was an almost constant attendant
day and night. at the hc.i-tCte OF his patient.
Deceased leaves father, five sisters and one
brother to lament the loss of one to whom they
were fondly devoted, and the memory of whose
affectionate regard and many virtues will never
fade from their sorely wounded hearts. An
atiianced bride, an amiable and attractive young
lady residing in Piaquemine who had hoped to
call him husband within two short mont hs,
mingles her bitter tears with those Of the be-
reaved relatives, and her deep grief excites the
sorrow and sympathy Of all who know her. An
intelligent. upright. moral and industrious
young man-one who was indeed model after
whom others might pattern with proft-has
gone to al Untin1eiy grave. 1t may be truly
said of him.
None knew him but to love him.
None named him but to praise.
May the sod rest lightly upon his noble form
and his spirit find eternal rest and happiness in
the sphere beyond the tomb, is the prayer Of
one who was privileged to call him more than
