He left a small circle of relatives and a host of near and dear friends to mourn his death; and now that he lias lived out his three score and ten, we feel assured in saying that is his life was of the most exempla ry kind, that hisexit from this to the spirit land was only to be transplant <‘d with the faithful few that have gone before him.
