Last Saturday Mr. G. W. IRVIN, whose residence is about 7 miles distant from this place, was in town with his lady and seemed to be in the best of health and spirit; late in the evening of the same day he started for his home and while walking along the road beyond Middleburg, he fell to the ground and almost immediately expired. What caused his untimely taking off none on earth can tell. After falling, he never spoke, and while the very flush of life was upon him, he was ushered into the presence of his Maker. True it is, that in the midst of life we are in death.
