Though he had been in failing health for the last three years and confinecLto the house for the .past three months, his passing was a shock to all his friends, who expccted him to be with us for sometime. But he Was certainly prepared for the great etange, and his going was but a rel&se to though a sorrow to his^unily. Mr. Thomas is survived, by his widow, and two sons, besides hip aged mother, Mrs. Hiley Thomas, his sister, Mrs, Hazel Belcher, an aunt, two nephews and many cousins.
