illness, JAMES H. LADSEN, ugml 19 years.
Tlra premature death of this young gentleur.iii, has
nxeited tho liveliest sensation of regret among hi*
youthful acquaintance*,nnd riio-e who knew him ge
nerally. Left an orphan, and without tlra cine of pa
rental fostering, lie exhibited those qualities most
attractive and eiulduring, und which promised well
fir on honorable and useful mnnlio -d. But an nn-
gel of dentil h is sped hi* shaft, and lira treo is with
ered in it* pristine vigor,—iho flower is wasted in
it* curly bloom.
