Miller of Person County. He had devoted the two last winters to a course of medical lectures at Philadelphia, where his complaint became more serious, and from whence it was with some difficulty that he reached home. Since which time until his death he was confined to the bed of sickness, which he bore to the last moment with the greatest fortitude and resignation. He was only in his twenty second year and few young men's prospects rendered life more desirable. To a noble and independent spirit was united a warmth of feeling and a tenderness of heart which rendered him dear to numerous acquaintance, and doubly so to an affectionate mother. She had spared no pains to render him useful, as in him were her fond hopes centered - but alas! his untimely end has rendered them vain, and cast over her a melancholy veil which nothing but the chilling blast of death will ever remove. May his spirit rest in a world more congenial to its nature.
