 he possessed a considerable share of perseverance and industry, 

 rendering him a proficient in whatever he undertook ; he was not 

 only a skilful Fly-fisher, but a profound Musician, and a very 

 superior performer on the flute. In domestic life he was a good 

 husband, an indulgent parent, and a kind friend ; and ever ready to

 He died in the prime of life, respected by all who knew him.
