nis Nash died, Sunday morning, just hav-

ing passed his 73d birthday. His funer-al at 12 30, Wednesday, from Trinity,was largely attended, Kev G. T. Linsleyofficiating.

An autopsy, at which Drs May of Beth-

el and Smith of Newtown presided, washeld and the opinion of the council of

physicians, held in the Winter on MrNash's case was confirmed, that an ab-

normal state of the colon caused an al- -nost completo cessation of its natural

junctions and this led to subsequent ex-

haustion, though his rugged constitutionyielded but slowly to the inroads of dis-

ease.Mr Nash leaves a wife, once Miss Cath-

arine Lawrence and a daughter, Miss

Betsy A., for years a member of Trinity'schoir. Seldom was Mr Nash's seat atTrinity vacant and, in the community,few had a higher reputation than he, forIntegrity, industry and all that goes tomake the worthy citizen.

Early in life, Mr Nash marriedMiss Betsey A. Lawrence and his homewas on the cross road near the James M.Turney farm. Later, he bought the homewhere he died and, within a few years,his first wife died childless. His latermarriage to a sister of his deceased wifefollowed and one child, Miss Betsy, wasadded to the household. A carpenter bytrade, Mr Nash was well known in New-town and towns adjacent and none couldfall to be cheered by his greeting and thefriendly good will which seemed bubblingfrom a heart brim full of cheer and it wasspecially manifest in his talk with thechildren, whom he never failed to amuseand delight. Though belonging to thegeneration passing away, his cheerysmile and presence will be missed alikeby old and young and all extend to thebereaved family heartfelt sympathy Inthe great sorrow which they have beencalled to bear,
