DEATH OF MAJOR w. ". THoRNToN.-It
is with deep regret that we are called upon
to announce the death, very suddenly, of
heart disease, last night about o'clock,
near Brentsville. Of Maj. William Wallace
Thornton, one of the most highly esteemed
and honored citizens of Prince William
county. He laid down on the bed beside
his wife, who has been confined to her room
with a broken ankle for some. time, and,
while talking, sank back and died without
a struggle. Maj. T. was aged about fifty
four years, and had held many positions OF
honor and trust, always fulfilling his duties
with an uprightness and impartiality that
made him favorite with all parties and al!
classes. A warmer hearted and truer gen.
tleman is rarely found, or one who com
bined so many of the most exalted qualities
of the true Virginian.
