To within a few months past he had en? gaged in the active pursuits of life and was ever foremost in everything lookiug to the promo: ion cf his fellow citizens.

Among the reports is one to the effect that mutual friends of the two gentlemen are tiying to etlVct a reoon ciliation between them. Gov.
