, Averse as we are to notice a pri-
vate grief, which can‘ only tend to
aggravate the agonized feelings of a
respectable fellow-citizen, we cannot
- ‘pass over in silence the premature
death of Captain Inwm, of the 88th
regiment. We shall not now dwell on
those amiable qualitie"s which so
strongly endeared him to his relations
, and friends who knew the superior-
’, excellence of his mind.--The only
consolation we can offer to his alllicted
parents is, that this brave youth too
rigidly fulfilled the severe duties of his
station---he has laid down his life in
j" the bed of hohour-he served in the
ranks of his country, and his name is
. enrolled amongst those heroes who
have devoted themselves to the cause
of freedom and the vindication of its
rights. His career was short, but had
