He was I well known as a man of deep religious principles, and was always kind to the poor and needy, who will miss him greatly. Having identified himself for some years with the Wesleyan Methodists, he fitted up a. mission room for their church in Llewellyn Street, and became one of its most ardent workers. filling the impor- tant office of steward. His sympathy with the foreign mission was profound, for he collected and stibscribed L20 to- j wards it in about a year before his death. The funeral took place on Monday, the 2oth ult.. and in spite of the inclement weather, a very large number met to pay their tribute of respect to the departed.
