adorned by all the virtues that character
ICES the christian heritage. He was pos
sessed of extraordinary vitality and was,
until within few weeks preceding MS

battIed hard with the enemy, and had It

firm of Carey Bros. & Grevemeyer OF
Philadelphia, the Hon. Joseph Carey, U.
8 Senator from Wyoming, and DR. john
