WE regret to chronicle the death of James Valentine Reddy, Esq., a
well-known member of the Richmond bar, who died at his residence in that
city, on Nov. 5, of pneumonia. He was about thirty-six years of age, and
removed to that city from Alexandria, Va., where his relatives now
reside. He was of Irish birth, and his love for the old sod of his
forefathers was pure and strong. He was a member of the National League,
and of several societies connected with St. Peter's Cathedral. He was
devoted to the practice of his religious duties, and ere his spirit
winged its flight received its last consolations. Deceased had more than
common gifts of oratory and was a ready penman. His disposition was
generous, and he was always ready to relieve distress when in his power.
Mr. Reddy was a contributor to our MAGAZINE, and although we never saw
him, we were led to esteem him highly. He was a great lover of Irish
poetry and song, and had, perhaps, as fine a private collection of them
as there is in this country. His heart was indeed wound up in the dear
old land; but he did not forget in this love the allegiance and fealty
he owed to the land of his adoption. His life is but another of the many
examples of Irishmen, who, living at home under a government of giant's
strength used as a giant would use it, would be called a rebel; but who
under a government where all men are free and recognized becomes a
worthy and faithful citizen, a good example for those around him. The
deceased was born in the county of Kilkenny, near the village of
Kilmacow, and about six miles from Waterford City. St. Patrick's Branch
of the Catholic Knights of America, in their resolutions of condolement,
say that he was a faithful, worthy and popular member, and they
fittingly voice the sentiment of all the Catholic and Irish-American and
other civic societies, with which he was associated, in thus placing on
record this expression of their sorrow over his early demise, and also
in giving utterance to their deepest sympathy for, and in behalf of, the
bereaved wife and children thus unhappily deprived of the fond love and
tender care of a devoted husband and affectionate father.

MR. JOHN REILLY, a well-known and respected resident of Charlestown,
Mass., died at his residence, 92 Washington Street, on Wednesday, Nov.
4th, after an illness of nine months at the age of sixty-four years. He
