Near Rensselaer, Nov. 26, 'William Malntt. aged 33 years. Notwithstanding the deceased had not lived the life that should characterize a Christian man, we learn from his friends that when death came he was prepared to go. He leaves a wife and several children to whom we extend our prayers and Christian sympathies.
