Fillmore Items. We were sadly shocked, on last Monday, by the sad news that Mr. Sam Warner had taken opium, from the effects of which he died late in the evening. The opium was taking about 4 o’clock in the morning. Medical aid was called at once, but all efforts proved ineffectual. It is supposed that derangement of the mind was the cause of the rash act. Thus, in a very brief space of time, the community has been deprived of a good, useful and enterprising citizen, and the family, of an indulgent father and a kind husband. Our tears and sympathies mingle with those of the bereaved and distressed family.

Dear as thou wast, and justly dear, We would not weep for thee; One thought shall check the starting tear; It is– that thou art free.

Oh, may such grace on us be shed And make our end like thine!
