happy in his social and domestic relations, and was sur- 

 rounded by every thing that could make life interesting 

 and valuable. By a mysterious providence he was cut 

 off at the age of 30, ere youth was gone, and in the 

 hour of decided success in his profession. 



He had already made a strong and favorable impres- 

 sion on the public mind ; he had gained the confidence 

 of all, and promised a Jong career of usefulness. 



Yale College, in the short period of five days, has been 

 deprived of two of its brightest ornaments — one in the 

 full maturity of years, learning, and honorable fame — 

 the other, in the bright morning of hope. The excellent 

 Gov. Treadwell and the late reveresfd senator Timothy 

 Pitkin, were lineal ancestors of Prof. Norton. 



His funeral was attended on Tuesday afternoon, from 

 his late residence in Temple avenue. 



New Haven, Sept. 8, 1852.
