W.4R OF INDEPENDENCE. 49 



Died in Groton, Mass. June 24, Mr. Isaiah Hall, aged 74, a revolu- 

 tionary soldier and patriot. For many years he had been gradually 

 declining, and devoted the principal part of his time to reading and 

 meditation. The word of God was his principal study and source of 

 comfort, and when too feeble to read himself, nothing afforded him so 

 much satisfaction as to hear its sacred contents often read. His last 

 sickness, though long and lingering, was borne with that calmness and 

 resignation which a firm faith in the religion of Jesus Christ imparts ; 

 and the remaining days of his bereaved partner will be consoled by 

 that hope which animated him in his last hours, and made death to 

 him the harbinger of eternal rest. — [Communicated.]
