oyer to the police authorities.DIED,At his residence, Rives’ Cottage, in the county of Fluvanna, on the 11th day of July, 1853, Col. BARRETT G. PAYNE, in the 75th year of bis age.Col. Payne was a native of Fluvanna and one of her most honored citizens. He represented the county in the Legislature for thirty-four years, and so great was his popularity and so high the esteem in which he was held by his fellow-eitizens, that there was not, perhaps, a man in the county during that long period who could have been a successful competitor for this distinction, the highest a county can bestow on any of her citizens. He was a magistrate from 1805 until the present Con-stituaion went into operation, and most of that period was Presiding Justice. In his private, no less than in his public life, did he command the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He was to use the language of one who has known him intimately for more than thirty years to the writer of this notice, a good husband, a good parent, a good master, an obliging neighbor, a faithful friend, a true patriot, an honest man, the highest earthly mead of praise that man can bestow or man deservo. Col. Payee leaves numerous relatives and friends, two sons, one of whom is the present worthy dele gate, Col William B. Payne, of Fluvanna. May the great disposer of evente sustain them in their sore bereavement. H.
