Mr. JACK DALAND, a very worthy black man, aged 65. He was
brought from Africa to the West Indies at about 11 years of
age; but instead of being _eaten_, as he expected, by the
white men, he was transferred by purchase to a happy asylum
in this place, where he has spent upwards of 50 years of his
life, respected by the whole town, as a faithful,
industrious, pleasant-tempered, intelligent man. His honest
industry was rewarded by the acquisition of a comfortable
property, which he has left for the enjoyment of his family.
The long train of white people who followed his remains to
the grave, testify to the esteem in which he was held.
