DIED
At his residence near Yorktown, on Monday the 20th inst. Mr. WM. G. SLACK, of inflammation of the lungs. Mr. Slack was in the 37th year of his age, he was a native of Bucks County, Penn. Emigrated with his father's family to this county in the fall of '37, and has ever since been familiarly known as a very industrious and peaceable citizen.
As a member of the church, (Presbyterian) he was regular in his attendance upon the means of grace, and very conscientious in the discharge of the obligations which rested upon him both towards God and man. He has left a wife and child, and brothers and sisters to deplore his loss. But what is their loss we trust is his gain.
Reader, in this sudden decease you have a solemn and impressive admonition, saying, - "Be ye also ready!"
