CTEFEWR was bora SEFK tember 11th, 1851, at the old bome*; stead, near tlie village of McIIenry, 111„ where he lived until 15 ye&rs of .age. surrounded by a large circle of relatives, among whom jpk was jthe youngest nod favorite. He then removed with his, father to Ringwood, remainiug there three years, when he returned to "Mc- Heuryf* engage in tlie study^f his profession with his brother, Henry CoJijy, During the time (that he was pursuing his studies he also took charge; of the Post Office, performing all its. duties with an activity and promptness i that received the commendations of the higher authorities as weH as those of the commnnity for »*l).om belabored. He was an earnest student and an inde­ fatigable worker, yielding to uaUght th'at-^ersistent e^rt and patient toil could overcome, and at his departure to enter into business for himself, few h^d acquired that thorough comprehen­ sive knowlKdgc of hU professioii that lie possessed. In Ocjtober, 1872, he bade farewell to his native village, and accompanied by the regrets and best wishes of a host of friends, he went t6 Gibson City, Ford County, 111., to take charge of # Drug Stor,e, in partnership with his brother, Ora C. Colby. This was the tlireshhold of business life to .bit#; the doof from boyhood to mjinbood. On t.he one side ho jeft all the watchful care aud kind solicitude of his boyhood home and stepped forth to meet jthe active duties and stern realties of a business life, but lie went forth firmly and bravely, and tii^vgh t.liis >vs» his first business experience it proved emi­ nently success fid. He remained there until June, 1873, when, tlieyhaving sold their business, he made a short vislit to his old home. Alter# few asoetUe wandailngs lie again, in partnership with his brother Ora, established a Drug business at Neosho, Newton County, Southwest Missouri, .whe^ic he retrained one year, when they removed tu Granby, a min­ ing town eight miles N-ortWast from Neosho, where he wjis residing at the time of fois decca?e. Here, -as hereto­ fore, he labored earnestly aud faithful-: ly until prostrated by Typhoid fever,, which terminated so fatally. The first symptoms of the . fever manifested themselves Feb, 4t!\, but .as ;they did not assume a malign-ant form his-friends ilid hot anticipate any danger or feel .Any seriou? av^ietj until the merulug of Feb. 20th, when an alarming change occurred, artd his whole constitution, undermined by constant applictttio»j, sank hcncatli the ravages of his disease without sufficient vital force to rally, immediately on the .first apprehension of danger a message was sent to rela­ tives here and his brother, Henry Colby, made hasty preparation 'to go to 'him, but was deterred by a second dispatch announcing his death, which occurred ou the evening of Feb. 2Qth.

Now if our correspondent is what he purports to be "A Reader," he knojws this to be a fact, but as he does not sigu his n^me. we are led to believe he isuot so "peifectly impar­ tial"'1 as he claims to be.

The author is John Clark Redpath, A, M, whose name alone is a guarantee that the work is one of tlie most accurate and reliable.

Earnest iu purpose, faithful in duty, sacrificing in spirit, ever aspiring to all that was ex­ alting and noble in life, he was indeed a bright example of true manhood. But God called him and he has gone, leaving many, many mourning hearts, father and brothers, sisters aud friends, and one dearer than all others, whose plighted vows with his formed bright links in that chain which bouud their hearts and souls In a union that death itself cannot sever; a union Mfhieh, though unrecorded on earth, God's Angels have recorded in Heaven.
