DIED,-At his residence in Northampton county, Virginia, after a lingering illness of several months at 11 o'clock P. M., on the 7th instant, THOMAS JACOB, in the 54th year of his age. In the death of this truly amiable and excellent man, there has been a chasm made in society, that will not shortly be supplied. Mr. Jacob was a man of modest and unassuming manners; of correct deportment and unimpeachable integrity. He was a kind and obliging neighbour, a tender and affectionate father, and a warm friend. his course through life was such as to excite the admiration, and gain the friendship of all. This dispensation of providence is afflicting to his friends, but how much more so is it to his four sons and three daughters, who knew not what it was to be denied a favor or kindness by him; but while they shed the tear of anguish over his grave, they must receive a consolation from the hope (which is derived from his upright, honest and benevolent course of conduct) that he not only "sleeps with his fathers," but that he is the full fruition of the blessings of Heaven:
"But if death frightful, what has age to fear?
If prudent, age should meet the friendly foe,
And shelter in his hospitable gloom."

Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
'Till we see thy heavenly face.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled;
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
