Three or four winters ago ho was confined to his bed for weeks, nr.tl only he, of all Die circle of rclulives nnd friends, believed that ho would got another lease of life, laist April ho attended the funeral of his cousin, Mrs. Catherine Trine, in Trenton, and felt lo he in the best condition he had been for a year. When bis hist illness was pronounced Driglil’s disease, it vua known that tlio lust enemy bud nulrked him for his own, and that the last bilttcr hour was not fur distant. His wonderful vitality held the grim monster at bay for three weeks before the brittle thread of life was snapped and the frail tenement of clay started on its return to the .dust from which it came and the spirit took its flight to him who gave it. When the destroyer who is 6n Die track of all that breathe, laid him low in death, the last member of the William Law'family had entered the invisible and eternal sphere. The dentil of his cousin, John F. Law, of Trenton, two years ago, caused Die mantle of honor* as the oldest member of the Law family to fall on Newton.
