Death

On the 12th instant, in the forty-fifth year of his age, Mr. James Grantt for some time past the foreman of the City Gazette Office, leaving a wife and large circle of friends to deplore his death.  Mr. Grantt was a man of patient and active industry. He has on a particular occasion composed upwards of thirteen thousand M's in nine hours; a task probably never exceeded.  To his industry Mr. Grantt united honesty and candor in the highest degree, preferring rather to give offence by speaking the truth, than to please by hypocrisy.  In his profession, he never locked up his thoughts but took truth for his rule of conduct.  Yet he never like to engage in squabbles.  A pious protestant and of the Methodist persuasion, he was never spoiled by the society of monks or friars, and though death has erased his name from the living, it is hoped his few errata have been corrected and his name placed on the resister of Heaven, Charleston City Gazette, 19th November.

NY] on his return on Friday evening, when he received the heart-rending intelligence of her having died that morning!   "This is the state of man." Today we are in the full vigor of health - tomorrow, where are we?  Our souls, perhaps are hastening to their eternal judge, and our friends are preparing to perform the last said obsequies to our earthly remains.

The deceased has left five small children, four of whom are daughters, who will long mourn the loss of a tender mother, her husband that of an affectionate wife, and the female circle at Greene, have to lament the loss of one of its brightest, best and most excellent members.
