We are glad to publish the following lines
from an old and esteemed resident of our
, neighboring town: MANY hearts go out in
, sympathy over the mountain wall to those
that mourn the sudden death of Joseph s.
|, Wheeler. He had many friends in this
town, who knew him as an active, upright
citizen, an industrious and progressive
, farmer aud true and faithful friend. Hon.
ored and loved while living, he was blest
even in dying, for he suffered no lingering
, sickness or long decline, but ceased at once
to work and live-able even at the last, in
the full ripeness of manhood, to reason Of
righteousness, temperance and a judgment
to come A friendship of more than forty
years prompts this simple tribute, While
the soft memory of his virtues yet fingers
like twilight, when the bright-hued sun is
set.' w. c., Middlesex, W.T.
