DIED.

GREEN. - In this city, Thursday evening, October 31, 1872, Wm. Green, 
Jr., aged 24 years and 7 months.
  But a few weeks since and this young man had promise of a successful 
and honorable life of many years duration; but a few weeks since he 
passed among us the beloved of all who knew him.  Possessed of rare 
mental faculties, or a vigorous and powerful intellect, strengthened 
and developed by careful and persistent study, and all this elevated 
and governed by the purest devotion to his religion and the precepts of 
a righteous soul, it is little wonder that the wail of sorrow should be 
heard around his bier, and the tears of broken hearts should fall upon 
his tomb.  But he is gone, and the pure, white snow will fall lightly 
upon his narrow earth-home, and the winds will sweep --- the little 
mound, but the loved one will rest, while his example can never die.
  His remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery, at Blairsville, 
Indiana Co.
