Information received several days before announced that he could not live long, and his demise was not unexpected. Infirmities of a serious nature made it necessary several years ago to provide special care and attention for him, and he was taken to Weston and cared for, till his death.

The interment will be at Clarksburg, where his wife is buried, and the funeral will probably be held some time tomorrow. Mr. Thompson was 40 years old.
