ALEXANDER - James Alexander "Old Uncle Jim" as he was familiarly 
called, an old colored man, who for many years has been one of the 
institutions of our town, died at the Alms House, on Saturday last.  
Jim was about half-witted and his queer fancies and comical notions 
caused merriment many and many a time.  Every one knew him, from the 
smallest boy to the oldest inhabitant, and when they hear of his death 
many will sigh, and say "poor old man!"
