[Untitled article.]  The large circle of friends in Rugby, and Scott and Fentress counties, enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus CLARKE, and the members of their family, will be pained to hear of the death of Mr. Cyrus CLARKE, Jr., which even occurred on Tuesday, at Allegheny City, Pa.  The deceased gentleman was educated at Allegheny College, and graduated with honor. At the age of twenty years he entered the Tradesman’s Bank, Pittsburg, as Cashier, where he remained till the time of his death–sixteen years.  The warmest sympathy will be extended to the widow, the four children, and the family, so well known in this section, upon their great loss, and the loss to the community of a man who was, by universal consent, honest all round: and no higher tribute can be paid a man.
