By this melancholy event his family and connections are bereaved of a tender and affe&ionate husband, an exemplary and indulgent parent, a va luable, unfeigned,brother and friend,and an endear ing acquaintance. Liberality to the poor and hospi tality to strangers were leading traits in hischaraA er. Ihe various public services he has performed are too well known to require a newspaper eulogy, and the honorable and important offices he has sus tained, in his native town, in this Commonwealth, and in the United States, are the bed evidences of his fidelity, integrity, and the public confidence. His remain's were yesterday entombed.
