Deaths
- In Baltimore, the 27th prior, George H. Davis, Esq., in the 38th year of his age.

At an early period of life Mr. Davis went to Baltimore, actuated by an ambition now rarely found in the youths of the present day. His industry, perseverance and strict and rigid morality soon made him many warm friends, and his success in business fully equaled his expectations. For some years he was a member of the firm of Dugan Jenkins & Co when he was overtaken by consumption, which caused him to retire from business.

It would be a work of supererogation to enlarge upon the man and excellent virtues which adorned his character. Those who were admitted as bosom friends duly appreciate his worth; but it is a duty we owe to his memory to speak of him as a rare specimen of benevolence. His whole soul appeared to be absorbed in that most estimable quality, and his deeds concealed from public view, can only be known by those who have received his many and valuable favors.'
