An old citizen of our county, and for a long period, of our borough .has thus, full of years, been summoned to the grave. A quarter of a century he has passed among us, since he came fiom Connecticut, and he has become wide ly respected and esteemed. His grasp was not soft but it was faithful and hearty. His manners were those learnt in the school of an active life, symptomatic of the honesty and s'neenty of his di.sposi tion. A man of strong will, his powerful frame fitted him for the rough labor of existence and made him a worthy representative of our honored pioneers—energetic, determined, but possessing a kind heart, we shall miss his familiar face while those who know him best will with reason mourn his loss. He has left behind him muiy old life long friends who will not forget him while they, burdened with the infirmities of age, hasteu wearily toward that rest which he has found ; for we trust that Heaven lay at the end ol those more than three score and ten years.
