In testimony of esteem and friendly regard for his services to his late father and to himself, Walter Sneyd, esq. attended his funeral, a mourner; which circumstance could not fail of being highly gratifying to the relatives and friends of the deceased: and, on the part of Mr. Sneyd, such respectful behaviour was passing a silent but eloquent eulogy on the character of his old steward. For a considerable time, the deceased served the office of high constable for the North Division of the Hundred of Pirehill, in the county of Stafford. He was also clerk to the Commissioners of Land Tax, of Assessed Taxes, and Property Tax; and a subdivision clerk in the same hundred. In the discharge of his various public duties, which were important and extensive, his punctuality, fidelity, and integrity, gained him considerable public esteem. Being possessed of a good memory, and well versed in the details of his offices, his knowledge of Common Law was very respectable; and he was ever ready to befriend his neighbours and acquaintance by his counsel, which proved beneficial to many. Great deference was paid to his judgment even by his superiors, and his opinions regarded as the result of sound reflection and good understanding. After having arrived to a good old age, and spent a life useful to his country, as well as profitable to his relatives, amongst whom he has left considerable property of his own procuring, he departed this world, leaving impressed on the minds of many a respectful remembrance of his virtues, both public and private; and the Christian hope, that his soul is now numbered amongst "the spirits of just men made perfect."

Few women in her respectable station have passed through life with more uniform cheerfulness and suavity of temper; none with more unambitious excellence of domestic conduct. In every successive department of honourable female duty from youth to age, it was her only pride, as it was her manifest delight, to administer all in her power (and, owing to her strong native sense and well-cultivated mind, that power was great) to the comfort and happiness of her family. But not to relatives only were the liberal attentions of this truly good woman confined. With a warm but unobtrusive generosity, she always met the wants and wishes of the deserving poor in her immediate vicinity half-way: she seldom, per haps, stepped out of her own sequestered path to seek for objects of distress; but, then, she certainly never turned aside to avoid any petition, however importunate, that her prudence whispered to her she could consistently and conscientiously grant. As a friend, she was pleasant, sincere, confidential, and affectionate: as a mistress of a family, she was kind, gentle, and considerate towards her servants. Her lot was cast in a fair ground; and she improved the talents entrusted to her charge. She was convinced of the grand truths of the Christian religion; she

revered its doctrines; she obeyed its precepts. Like a shock of corn fully ripe, she has, at length, come to her end in due season in this short state of being, possessing all her mental faculties to the last gasp of breath. Behind her she has left a very arge family of children and children's children. She is gone: but her memory shall not soon perish; it will be embalmed by the tears of grateful indigence often relieved by her secret bounty; it will live recorded in the breasts of all her relatives and acquaintance; and even these lines may serve to exhibit some faint representation of her worth. The hand of gratitude has here written a cha racter of a valuable woman; and truth sanctions the eulogy in every particular.His saltem accumulem donis, et fungar inani munere.-VIRG. vi. 885.
