Notes:

OBITUARY.-Many.of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Robt. A. Hays, of this town, which took place at his residence on Sunday morning last. This sad event was not altogether unlooked for, as Mr. Hays has been in very feeble health for several months. Consumption, that insidious but sure destroyer of life, was the disease which cut him off, we might say, in the prime of life. Mr. Hays was an old resident of this neighborhood. His genial manner and whole-souled disposition, combined with excellent social qualities and his unassuming and unobtrusive ways, made him a universal favorite with all who enjoyed his acquaintance. He was a man who made many friends but few enemies. He was buried on Tuesday in the Maitland Bank cemetery. He leaves a widow and one daughter, besides a large circle of other relatives and friends to mourn his demise.
