able State Vaccine Agent, died at Rich
mond on Tuesday, in his eighty seventh
year. He began his education at the

venerable George Fuller was Principal of
it. He never through life came to Staunton

beloved man in Richmond.
MI. Peter Dudley Bernard, the Oldest

ed by our people having resided with his
son-in-law, MI. Robert Hill, Jr., IN Staun-
ton, for some years. He had reached his
eighty-fourth year. In early life he was
the publisher Of the "Southern Literary
Messenger, " and was prominent in the Old
Wing politics of Richmond before the WAL.
The wal swept away the wealth he had ac
cumulated, but he addressed himself to the
new struggle with the ardor of a young
man. During the last days of his life he
suffered much from the effects of falling
through a hatchway in the store of MI.
Hill, while in this city. He was an honor
able, sterling man, and his death is greatly
regretted by those who knew him.
