A day or two previous, being in great pain, he said to his physician--"Well, doctor, a few hours more, and the struggle will be over." On the morning of the last day, as the physician entered his apartment, he said, "You see, doctor, I am here yet." On a member of his family expressing an opinion that he was better, he replied, with evident impatience--"Do not imagine for a moment that I feel the smallest solicitude as to the result." Some individual present uttering a hope that he might recover, he asked with a smile--"Do you think I fear to die ?" Thus departed Thomas Jefferson.

His last words were--"I resign my soul to my God, and my daughter to my country!" President J.Q.Adams receiving intelligence at Washington of the illness of his father, started immediately for Quincy.

Shortly before arriving at Baltimore, tidings reached him that the patriarch had gone to his rest.
Mr.Adams pursued his journey, but did not arrive at Quincy in season to be present at the funeral.

This took place on the 7th of July.

It was attended by a large body of citizens, assembled from the surrounding region.
