Died, in this, city, on Monday night, JAMEs
HoBAs, Esq, States Attorney of the District.


In the death of this gentleman, the Inhabitants
of Washington have lost citizen who had by
his kind intercourse, endeared himselfto all class
es Of the community. He was known in his pro-
fession as a man of fine talents. Though some
times sarcastic and very severe, yethe was always
respectful to his opponents. He was warm
friend to the cause of Temperance on the total
abstinence plan; often had he lifted his voice in
favor of this cause. We had the pleasure fre-
quently to hear him, and never do we remember
to have come away without being pleased and BRO
fited. He has been removed from us. at t;me
when he just appeared to be matured for useful
ness to others and profit to himself. How ipscru-
table are the ways of Providence. Still, God /,
too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. Nav
the arm Of Mercy be about his bereaved family
