way, when the bill was reported back. No
action, however, beyond a reference was
taken, and tho board adjourned.
Death of Benjamin Barton.?Our
readers will regret to learn that the venera?
ble Benjamin Burton died at his residence
in Fairfax county, near this city, this morn?
ing. It is not too hiuh a eulogy to say that
Alexandria never bad a belter citizen.
M <lr-t nud retiring by nature, he shunned
rather than sought public notice; yet con
scious that his duty demanded service to
bis fellow men, he was ever ready to use
bis talents and bis means for their benefit.
UV may well say of him what was said of
F.paminondas, "that we have seldom seen a
man who knew more and said less.'' He
was not a talker, but a worker. Born in
humble cirenmstauces, on Fairfax street,
near (jueen, in 1S03, he received hut a lim?
ited education, but he so improved it in his
few leisure hours that he became a line
mathematician, and a man of excellent geu
eral information. Apprenticed early to the
trade of a watchmaker aud jeweler,
he was sa assiduous at bis work that
before he was of age, ho had made
the tine, tall clock, both works and
casp. which now stands i;i his store,
ou King street, a monument of bis industry
and skill. Through life ho was the snmo
quiet,patient, hardworking, judicious man,
assisting others by his couasel and his
means, but never letting his left hand know
what his right did in charity. As an Aider
man and as a director in our bank?, insur?
ance companies, etc., he was invaluable for
his judgment and moderation, and the great
bonorof his long life is his having, by bis bus?
iness taot, perseverance, and Bootless integ?
rity, paid the depositors in the Alexandria
Savings Institution, of which he was presi
deut, dollar for dollar, though the war had
swept away the property of its debtors and
destroyed much of the value of its securities.
*n short, Mr. Barton was in every way a
model to our young men, and bis rise from
comparative poverty by bard work ind at?
tention to business, to a position of aillu
fnce, should encourage those who wish to
rise also, to follow his example. The Hy
uraiuon Steam Fire Engine Company,
which he joined upon its organization, sixty
Years ag-), ?nd of which ho has been presi
? eat forty-two year?, will meet to night to
"? honor to his memory, aa will.no doubt,
tie other companies of the department
and the various boards of which ho was a
member.
