It he,was the person I.knew, ho waa a tall, aliffht man, nearly 6 teet, ot a very .juiet; retiring habit of mind, but was very much respected here. Heleorned business in Monagban With my father. He went to India as a soldier during the mutiny. After the peace' he came home, and .as he was unemployed. he got a vacancy with me. He.lived here some years, and gave us satisfaction. He left here of his own will and aeainat our wish. I Bent the paper, and I wrote to his father. Mr Samnel Johntt^ne, of Emyvale Co., Monaghan. He is a practical miller, and rents a mill at Emyvale, which he works for hire on the farmers' grain, and does not require much capital, and if James has left any money behind him, the father would reqaire it, as he haß reared a large family respectably upon a Bmall salary.—lam, with respect, yours obediently.
