Hill Carter, Esq.
Died - on the night of the 2d of Sept. 1830, Hill Carter, Esq. of the county of Amherst. His death has been a subject of universal regret - he was an amiable, useful, active, and intelligent man, and his loss will be sincerely felt by his family, his friends and the community generally. He died of a bilious fever, with which he was confined but a few days. No danger was apprehended until it was too late to resist the disease, and he fell a victim to it without a murmur, and almost without a struggle. His friends and numerous acquaintances, gathered around his remains, and in performing the last awful duty of cousigning them to the bosom of the Earth, testified their respect for his memory, and their consciousness of his worth. He will be long remembered as a man of unquestionable integrity, and of unsullied honor. These are the only inheritance he has left to a numerous family - although fortune may fail them, these never will.
