Dr. John M. Knox died of infla-, mation of the, Tuesday, 15th instant, aged aborf’t 60 years, lie was gentlemanly in his deportment towards his fellow beings and won the esteem of all who became acquainted with him. Possessing an ’active -and inquiring mind he was fond of debate ami investigation; Naturally a me-. ehauic, -he-invented eevecal model's of machinery, mostly Jor .Tarnier's use, the chief of which is a riding cultivator fie had j list perfected and applied for a patent upon. It is •'aid to be really a meritorious ine plenient' destined to supercede those now ip use. With a warm and sympathetic heart aiid a keen sense of justice he was liberal in his views, bo h re igious and political, leaping to Universalism in the one and being an ardent Hep iblican in the other. The Doctor was a member of the Masonic fraternity and was buried this morning with the imposing ceremonies of the Craft, assisted by the Sons of Temperance, to Which order he also belonged Mrs. Eli Veoman and Mrs. Janies Hemphill are sisters of the deceased.
