DIED - On Saturday morning last, of Consumption, CHARLES L. KELLEY, in the 49th year of his age. Mr. K. has been a resident of this community for nearly thirty years, and was widely and favorably known. The writer of this paragraph has known him intimately for more than twenty years, and does not hesitate to pronounce him, all in all, the best character he ever knew. He was a professor of Christianity for several years before his death, but was never connected with any church organization. On Sunday an impressive funeral discourse was delivered at the Methodist Church, by Rev. Mr. Dunham, to a very large congregation, from the text: "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fall from among the children of men." The several congregations of the village were dismissed, to give all an opportunity of attending the funeral services--a fact which indicates the profound veneration of the public for the deceased. "An honest man now lies at rest, As neer God with his image blest; The friend of man, the friend of truth; Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd, Few heads with knowledge so inform'd.
