quite number, are fast passing into
the other world, a number having died
In the last twelve months. Last week
we noticed eight or ten. at different
times, on the square, not one of them
less than seventy.one years old, and all
of them looking broken in health, and
according to nature they can not be
here many more years. Of the Exon

blue and those who donned the gray
may yet be permitted to live happily
many more days.
