  CYRUS W. HARTLEY.
  
  Cyrus W. Hartley, esq. died yesterday at Providence, of typhoid fever.  
  He had been ill but a short time, and was supposed to be recovering, 
  when his symptoms assumed a fatal type.  He was born in the neighboring 
  county of Susquehanna, and he was well known in this city as a modest, 
  meritorious and promising young lawyer.  At a special meeting of the 
  Board of Managers of the Young Men's Christian Association held last 
  evening, on account of the death of C. W. Hartley, esq., the following 
  preamble and resolutions were adopted:  WHEREAS It has pleased the 
  Divine Master, in His infinite wisdom, to call to his reward our 
  beloved brother, Cyrus W. Hartley, one of the founders of our 
  Association, an officer since its organization, and Vice-President 
  elect for the ensuing year; therefore, be it Resolved, By this Board of 
  Managers, that while we bow in submission to the inscrutable mandates 
  of the Almighty, our hearts are filled with sadness and unfeigned 
  sorrow at this bereavement.  Resolved, That in all our intercourse with 
  Brother Hartley, he endeared himself to us by the purity of his 
  character, his honorable and noble bearing, and by his consistent 
  Christian deportment.  Resolved, That in his death this Association has 
  lost one of its most active members, an efficient officer, a wise 
  counselor, and a brother beloved; and that while we mourn his loss, we 
  will strive to emulate his virtues, that we may be as well prepared as 
  he when our summons shall come, whether it be early or late.  Resolved, 
  That deeply sympathizing with the relatives and friends of the 
  deceased, we will bear them on our hearts to the Throne of Grace, and 
  to that Saviour who has promised grace and consolation in time of need 
  and sorrow.  Resolved, That we attend the funeral services in a body, 
  and that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the 
  Association and published in our city papers.
