OBITUARY.

DIED on the 25th inst., in this City, Dr. James P. Bradshaw, in the 42nd year of his age.

The deceased was the Post Master in this place at the time of his death. His unremitting devotion to the duties of his office probably contributed to his premature dissolution. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss; for whom the entire community feel the deepest sympathy. No one doubted his integrity of purpose, or his purity of life. He was not only esteemed, but also beloved by all who knew him. There is scarcely a family in our city that has not enjoyed the fruits of his friendship in prosperity, and shared his kindness around the bed of sickness, or the dying couch. He was a consistent member of a christian church, and lived in the daily manifestation of all the graces and adornments of the christian character. His foibles became not a block of stumbling to others, for as far as human eye could perceive, his religious character was faultless. His mind was evenly balanced; and he seemed to exercise an easy and complete control over his passions and affections. His temper was as even as the unruffled lake. He never uttered an irritable word. His last moments were as every believer in the truths of revelation would have predicted. He endured his suffering without a murmur, and manifested no sign of alarm when informed by his physician, that the time of his dissolution was at hand. He gave directions deliberately, about the arrangement of his business, and disposition of his effects; and after every thing had been arranged to his satisfaction, he called his family around him to take his final leave. Taking each one by the hand, with a heart too full for utterance, he impressed with his lips the last farewell. He told them he felt like his heart would break to leave them, but that he was willing to commit them to the hands of his Redeemer, who had promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless.—When asked as to his present view of his future prospects, he replied promptly that he was happy in his Saviour, and had a hope of a blissful immortality and a resurrection from the grave. The last words that he uttered were in substance, the he was happy in his Redeemer—that he still felt that all was well. While he stood by his bedside and witnessed his triumph over his last enemy, and the smile that seemed to illume his countenance, like the sunshine of a better world, as the shades of death were creeping over his frame and freezing his vitals, we could be inwardly exclaim, let me live the life of the righteous and let my last end be like his.
