OBITUARY.

  Departed this life on Wednesday morning last, 29th June, in the 72nd 
year of his age, Mr. John McConnell, Inkeeper, of the Borough of 
Huntingdon. His disease was Paralysis, with which he was attacked on 
the Sabbath night previous, probably in his sleep. The violence of the 
stroke deprived him of the power of speech, and also of swallowing. He 
had for some time previously enjoyed good health, and attended Church 
on the day preceding the attack.
  The deceased possessed great equanimity, and an abundant share of 
those amiable qualities which render man an agreeable companion, in the 
various relations of life, as neighbor, husband and father. He was a 
devoted member of the Seceder Church, which he supported liberally. In 
conformity with the benevolent spirit of the times he had converted his 
"Inn" to a "Temperance House." Those who knew him most intimately, 
loved him most. Take him "for all in all, we shall seldom see his like 
again." AMICUS.
