Hassam, Esq. a native of New-Hampshire, but for the last three years a resident of this place. He was a kind and affectionate husband; a friendly and obliging neighbor; his attachment for his friends sincere. Nature appeared to have endowed him with a very strong mind; his turn for the mechanic art was admirable, and he has left behind him several specimens of his inventive talent He had not long since obtained a license to practice law, and was just entering upon the arduous duties of that profession, when he was cut off in the prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness. He has left numerous friends and an amiable widow to deplore their premature loss.
