Just as we were going to press yesterday afternoon Capt. CURRIER died. Since Wednesday he had been unconscious, slowly dying, and yesterday afternoon he passed peacefully away. There was no apparent diseaseor ill. It was simply a giving way of the whole frame on account of old age. The captain was born in 1800 and was consequently in his 93rd year when he died. For years the deceased was captain of boats on the river. The last craft he ran was the "Reindeer" which carried passengers between here and St. John., This was some 39 years ago. His widow, who survives him, was his second wife and had he lived till the 15th of the present month, they would have been married fifty years. By the present wife he leaves two children, Mrs. CAMERON of this city and a son John CURRIER of Pottsville, Penn. There were five children by the previous marriage.
