death occurred at his residence inNew York City, on the 6th of
June, 1859, in the 73d year of his age. The sad intelligence

so long resided, but throughout the West, from Detroit, Mack-
inaw, Green Bay, and Prairie du Chien, to the Red River of
the North; at St. Louis, along the Missouri, and among the
old settlers in Arkansas. He was noted for the simplicity of

proud example of sterling integrity surrounded with the best
emblems of patience, and purity of action; characteristics to
which may be added not only a love of discipline, but a quiet
performance of those duties which elevate the soul, and procure
the esteem of intelligent men.
