DEATH OF A GOOD CITIZEN.

  William O'Brian, one of our oldest citizens, died on Thursday 
afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a very short illness.  Mr. O'Brian had 
reached the age of 70 years and has been a resident of this place for 
near thirty years.  He was a very religious man.  Whenever he would be 
among any persons his whole subject would be about the old world.  He 
could not be beaten on scripture or history for his age.  The funeral 
will take place to-day, after morning service in the Catholic Church on 
Tunnel Hill, in the cemetery on the Summit, where his children are 
buried.  He leaves a wife to mourn for him.  May he rest in peace.
