DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN We regret to announce the death of Mr. John TAGGART, an old and highly esteemed citizen, which occurred after a short illness at his residence in this village on Sunday last, the 21st inst. The deceased was born in this village in January 1801 and was hence in the 69th year of his age. He was the son of Moses TAGGART, long the Ordinary of the District, and served himself for one term as Sheriff of Abbeville, having been elected to that office in 1835. With the exception of a short absence, his life was spent in Abbeville village and here he was universally esteemed for the high integrity of his character and the rare kindness and affability of his temper. He was a member of the Episcopal church here from its foundation; his last moments were cheered by the consolation of the Christian faith. He leaves a large circle of relatives to mourn his loss.
