Saturday 1 evening June 30th. four .lavs less than -it years old. >ll the 12th of June, he stood by the open grave of his brother Junius, the fulics? per sonation of health ami physical man hood of all there present. He went t home and took his bed, impressed with an idei . lie hatl previously ex pressed to several friends that he would not live long, and after se\eu teen days of bodily suffeiing but without mental anxiety. passed peacefully away. Mr Rowe a life was short in years, but extensive in actions. Losing his father before he was twentv-om years old, he commenced active and extensive business pursuits ou his own account, and, with uniform good health and an energy unequaled. he ; pushed everything to which he put his hands as if he knew his time was short It may be said that no other man in so short a time has ever done so much to mark hi- lifework in the community, and of course, in such a * pushing, rushing, actixe life he has excited the admiration of many wh'le he ru tiled the feeling- of ot tiers. I 0 Such a life is sure to make both friends ami enemies, and if, at any t me. there was a doubt of which he had most, that doubt has not existed during the last years of his life. It' youthful and impulsive de-ire to build up his own name ami fortune made him seem fo prefer hi- own to another s good, riper years, experi ence and the Grace of God made him a different man of late. \\ hat ever doubts may have hung around his Christian character in times past, have in Ins last years given place to satisfactory evidences of a changed life and a new creature. Special personal reasons make it a oeat * O pleasure to say the»e things. A busy active man has disappeared from among 11s, very few will be as much missed, and 110 other has ever collect ed so large a funeral procession in our town, as followed the remains of I). W.
