OBITUARY RECORD.

DIED - At the late residence of his father, in West township, on 
Tuesday, the 18th instant, James Crawford, Esq.
 Death is no respecter of persons. Few of the victims of that ruthless 
messenger, leave us more regretted than Col. James Crawford. Of amiable 
and gentlemanly deportment, he lived beloved and respected by all who 
enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. Educated for the bar, had he 
lived he could not have failed to have alone honor to himself and his 
profession. The fell destroyer marked him for his own; and in the prime 
of manhood, he was summoned to that bourn whence no traveler returns. 
As he lived beloved and respected, he has died regretted and mourned, 
by a numerous circle of friends.
