A NOBLE IHEART STILLED.—Death with its terrors has again performed a prominent part in our midst and taken from us one of our oldest and most respected of men. The parting and good bye words have been said to a dear friend and brother, in the pe• son of Joseph Case who passed peacefully away on Saturday 19th inst. at the ripe age of 77 years. He has left behind him a souvenir of a useful life, his heart was big with charity and many the good act might have been recorded through his liberality. He toiled for many years on the farm on which he died, at the same time dealing exten- sively in buying lambs and cattle, but of late years devoted most of his time as droyer not being equal to the oc- casion of farming,.' He was always a man of honor in all his transactions and business speculation, and the same principle that actuated his whole life was that his word was his bond, and his word when passed, nothing but an im- passable obstacle would prevent his fulfilling it. Deceased had suffered for several months from heart trouble, and had made up his mind that the end would not be long forthcoming, hence was fully prepared for the grim monster. He was buried with the cer- emonial of the English . Church, of which he was an adherent. The fun- eral which took place on Monday was the largest that has taken place in Us - borne for a long time. The procession was led by the Masonic brethren of Which order he was a devoted member, having joined that order many years ago. He leaves to mourn his demise two sons Thomas and Cronyd, who have the sympathy of the nommunity. Around About Us.
