OBITUARY.

Died,on the 30th ult. Dr. EBENEZF.R DANIELS, aged 57 years. A long and intimate acquaintance with Dr. Daniels, whose death, our community has just been called on to mourn, has impressed the writer of this notice with a high appreciation of his general character. Gentlemanly in his deportment affable his manners generous in his feelings he was in the best sense of the term, an ««honest man.''

Dr. Daniels was a native of Massachusetts, where, having acquired a good classical education, he early applied himself lo iho study of Medicine.

He was always distinguished for his fondness for research and habits of industry, qualities. which soon secured for him an honorable gskdet in the profession he had chosen. Ardently, almost enthusiastically attached lo it he defended it with jrnlous care against the encroachments of empvriciam in whatever guise it presented itself. For more than a quarter of a century, he devoied himself lo ihe duties of hia profession with a zeal and skill, which promised bim an imperishable reputation.

As a friend the Doctor was conitant, devoted and disinterested. As a chris. tian hia character was adorned with enlorged benevolence, great tenderness of heart and exalted moral worth. To these attractive features of external religion, he added, before hi* death, ample testimony of hia entire reliance upon the provisions and promises of a crucified Redeemer.

Cunard, of Miramichi, has been compelled lo yield to i|te presaurt of Ihe times, he having stopped paymeni. Tha Halifax Sue publishes the following extract of a letter dated 4

CHATHAM,NOV. 80,1847,

"Mr. Joseph Cunard slopped payment on 8alurday last, and assigned all his effects to trustees for the benefit of his ered* itors, and his establishment is closed. The amount of hia liabilities it fearfully great, but tho total is not yet*ascertained. Hia property is immense, and at a fair value would iesli*e 20s. in the pound but to be wound up by asstgneee for prompt payment, in these hsrd times, may not realize 5s. in ihe pound. The result of this failure may be fearful. Ii will be equal in its consequences to Mir. amichi, to the great fire of 1825."
