Dariog, that period he contrived to win the esteem or affection of all those with whom he was brought in contact, his departare owing to ill-health was sincerely regretted on all bands. As Genior-Consul for short period before his retirement he was called upon to raise the functions of that post at a critical time; bat his firmness and tact, combined with affability and good jadgement, enabled bim to cope success-fally with all the difficulties of his office, Dr. Kr was boro in 1855. He leaves a wife and s daughter, for whom much sympathy will be felt by this community.
