On the 25th of March, last month, the angel of death descended upon Jefferson county, sealed the eyes and bore to the grave one of its old, beloved and most excellent citizens, Mr. Andrew Barland.
His age was about sixty five years; and during that comparatively long life be sustained the character of a good and an honest man. He was one of nature's noblemen, full of good feeling and generous deeds. Death never chilled a kinder heart. "Green be the turf above him!"
