And this sorrow will not be confined to the many unfortunate poor of his own race who have received timely aid and succor at his hands. All who knew him intimately, white or colored, will join in his praise. The most prejudiced and narrow-minded will be forced to admit that the colored blood which courses through his veins neither deprecates his value as a citizen, nor obscured his brightness as an industrious, honest and worthy fellow being. We will not go into details about his sphere of usefulness, nor extol his virtues, but in full sympathy with all the good people of Darien, we think it only due to express our regret for one who has been a good and useful citizen and who has set his race an example which for a long time should operate favorably as an impetus to their moral and financial advancement. Mr. Todd was buried from the Presbyterian church on Wednesday last at two o’clock, the Rev. J.N. Bradshaw officiating. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: A.C. Wylly, E.P. Champney, Louis Collat, Adam Strain, Jas. Walker and A.E. Dimmock.
