A g.A. nick Ea died at his Phil adelphia residence, May I TO, at 10:20 P. 31., from the effects ofa severe cold contracted in the fall, He was con fined to his house for about three weeks, from exhaustion produced by a loss pc muscular Power, consequent upon deterioration of the blood. His symptoms soon became alarming, but pearly two weeks ago the physicians thought he had ',fussed the'crisis. He seemed -to be improving until about noon "On Monday 9a4t, when he sta., fered a relapse, and for some hours his death was looked for momentari ly. He rallied, however, on Tuesday, and seemed to be gaining -strength until three o'clock Saturday morning, when he began to sink rapidly and eontinucd to grow Weaker until at eight O'clock be spoke his lash--*Jitk, and from that time until hisilcatlrhe was entirely unconscious. He died surrounded by his family and friends. His funeral took place at 7Mallell Chunk, on Tuesday, and Was largely attended -by otheials and others, Who mourned with heartfelt Sorrow the loss of a- man who - was universally recognized as a worthy and valual.le citizen. In this brief notice of . Judge PACK- Ea we desire to pay our' tribute of respect to his high character for in ,tegrity, his indomitable energy, and his far-reaching sagacity as a busi ness man. Thusc.: who had the pleps ure of knowing him, will remethber the cordiality and sincerity of his friendly greeting, his tinassiuning manner, and his clear, concise and sensible utterances. In his-rise and at the summit of li s, successful ca reer, he was a ,than to whim the young men of the day could be Pointed as worthy of their notice and imitation. His rapid and enormous accumula tion of wealth was not smirched by an instance of wrong doing, nor of extortionate or doubtful propriety. He wronged no man; but judging bk cool-headed and clear-minded eaten lation 'What enterprises would bring I him successful results, be enjoyed his success feeling that he had not pro- fitted by the losses of others. llis private life wits exemplary ; his-ben efactions noble ; his hospitality re fined and generous. Though, past the tithe of life allotted by the psalm ist, such a man cannot pass away without creating the regret that his useful and honorable life could not have been spared a little longer, that . he might have seen the full realiza tion of all his planO and the full frui tion of his large bencfactioni., ,kbrief sketch of ids early life; his struggles and, his successes, will be of advantage to the .young men of the country.

While MI:. PACKER plowed and sowed and gathered the not oier-abundant crops, Mrs. PAckint milked'the cows and administered the household af fairs with cheerfulness, energy, neat ness and economy.

New Jersey, for building boats at rottsville, to be constiucted . for .the direct shipment of eual to New York.. It took three years to complete these contracts. Mr. I'r:mkthen engaged in-mining and sh 'Ting coal from the Nesquehoning and other mints, and thenceforward uninterrupted pros perity attended him.

These great_Crl Le rp ses we•e - brought about by his sagacity and Courag,e, and though their great value has been somewhat disturbed by the financial distress of the past few years, yet they are destined soon to'be-an evi- dened of his forethought: He owned twenty five" per cent. of the entire capitql stock of the Lehigh Valley.

He held zeveral local positions, was twice elected to Congress, and was the Democratic candidate for. Governor at the elec tion when .Governor GEARY was suc cessful by a small majority. He was not, however, an: aspirant for office, and his railroad business was more congenial to his feelings.
