The Hon. FELIX GpUNDY br. athed his last
nt bis residence in this city, at o'clock on Sat.
urday afternoon. Although he had fingered in
much bodily pain for several weeks previous Ia

mental faculties and with calm resignation 10
the will Of an overruling Providence. His re.
mains we're followed 10 the grave, in the city
burving ground, Yesterday afternoon, by i'm
uense train of his fellow.citzens, nany Of
whom had been his friends and the peighhors for
more than quarter Of n century. The funeral

co''rse--was delivered in the PRESBYTERIAN
Church Of which Mr., G. was member, by the
Rev. John 7. Edgar. The deceased was hn.

Mr.. Gnmdy, during n pnhlic career, rnI of
years and ripe with honors, filled no inconsistent
ble space in MS coUntrv's councils and hIs death
has severed another ofthe remaining links which
connects the past with the present generation OF
politicians. As statesman he was distinguish
ed for example experienced, marked equAnim.
tv Of temper and shrewd knowledge OF men. To
these advantages he added a commanding and
captivating eloquence the secrel OF his eminent
success rs an advocate, and which enabled him
TO WELD no ordinary influence both in The Sem
ate house and before the people.


Whatever may have been the political differ
ences which separated him, in sentiment, and to
some extent IN intercourse with portion Of his
lellow-citizens, Mr. GRUMPY was emphaticaly
an amiable aud benevolent man; as free from the
bitterness of fpcrsonsona enemiiies as he was n.
boye The roncor of party competition Whether
IN The Senate or the social circle, the hustngs,
or in the forum, he was always tho same bland
dlgnied and agreeable gentleman. Asa mill
anthroptst he stood prominent as The inAnen.
ual and early friend of the cause of Temperance
and bore an uctive part in the establishment, nnd
progress ofseVeral other benevolent societies.
