Mr. James M. Butt, who, it will be remembered, sustained serious injuries on 
last Monday morning by falling from the fourth story to the ground floor of his 
warehouse, corner Market Square and Elizabeth Street, died at about half past 
twelve o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, No. 30 Fenchurch Street. Up 
to within twenty-four hours before his death his condition had been considered 
favorable, but delirium then set in and death ensued not long after as stated.
Mr. Butt was a native of Norfolk and was aged 52 years. He lived for some years 
in Portsmouth and married and engaged in business  in that city. He afterwards 
resided in Norfolk, doing business here till his death
He leaves a family to whom the affliction is, of course, a terrible one.
Mr. Butt was a man of unostentatious deportment, but true worth; he was a good 
citizen, though a retiring one and in all the relations of life was of an 
exemplary character. His funeral will take place Sunday morning at 11 o'clock 
from his late residence.
