SOUTH BEND, Seuu2y mornings


NeSsrs. Editors: I have the unpleasant duty
of informing you of the death of Hon. THOMAS D.
BAIRD, Senator in the State Legislature, repre-
sentibg this, Marshall, and Fulton Couaties. His
decease was sudden and unexpected. For week
past he had been slightly unwell, but was in such
a favorable state Of health Friday that he
worked in his field all dag. Yesterday morning
be was taken with severe attack of congestive
fever, and expired at 7, P. NJ.


The death of Mr.. Baird has shroaded this
community in sadness, and will be sorrowfully felt
by his numerous friends throughout the State. He
occupied e prominent place in the public eye.
For five years he has represented this District iu
the State Senate, and has been during that time,
if not the leader of the Wings, a, least one Of the
most prominent and influential ones in that body
His loss is irreparable. To his family, who are
bowed down in anguish by his sudden death, he
ever devoted husband and fond, affection
ate father to his friends he was warmly attached
and true; to his constituents steadfast and indie
fatigable; and 10 his party ever faithful. Such
men an honor t. their friends, their cen,t.tu-
ents and their Party-aud such man was he who
has been stricken down in the prime of his life
and the flood Of his political career, by the stern
and Unsuitable Angel of Death. Yours, in haste.
