M. Barnes This estimable young man died Aug. 26th, after a brief illness, at the residence of his father near Woodstock. The sad announcement of his death brought sorrow to many; for it told that a noble and generous heart had ceased to beat, and that an honest and upright life was ended. Those who had known him from his earliest childhood loved him for the modesty of his demeanor, the nobility of his nature, and the purity of his character. He has gone to his grave, loved, honored, and lamented by a large circle of friends. His short life is as passed away; but he has left behind a bright example well worthy of being followed. He was a sincere friend, a faithful brother, and a devoted son. His life was pure, and his death was glorious, for he died in the full triumph of faith, and has gone to the reward of the righteous. May God soften this heavy and sudden blow to the bereaved family who are bowed in the bitterness of grief and woe, and give to them the comfort of his holy spirit, and in his tender mercy may they find resignation and peace.
