Rev. Mr. WILSON's funeral was attended by a very large concourse of people, from the village, and the neighbouring country. Never was witnessed a more solemn spectacle. Every one seemed so affected with their mournful task, that it looked as if they were conveying to the grave one upon whom all their hopes in life depended. In testimony of their esteem, a public subscription was entered into, and a small Monument, executed with considerable taste, and having an appropriate Epitaph, and an inscription cut upon it, was erected to his memory.——“Blessed are they who die in the Lord, they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.”
