We regret that it becomes our duty to add to the list of deaths by cholera in this town, the name of Mr. Thomas Riddle. He died on Tuesday of last week; and in the loss of Mr. Riddle Mineral Point has been robbed of one of her best citizens. Few, indeed, are the persons whose loss would be more severely felt by all classes, than will his. He was ever kind, affectionate, and liberal-hearted; an obliging neighbor, and a devoted Christian. Yet, with all his good qualities, he could not escape the ravages of that dread pestilence. A very eloquent and impressive funeral discourse was preached on Sunday last, By Rev. Mr. De Pei, of the Episcopalian Church, (of which Mr. R was a member) to an unusually large and attentive audience, who deeply sympathize with the afflicted family in a loss so sudden and so great.
