We ! do cot know how he caught 'em, but we do know that he bas 'em caught, and holds 'em hard and fast. Rev. Edward T. Walker. The sudden death of this venerable minister of the Gospel, Tuesday night, :n Beaufort, was a great shock. Mr. Walker was in Port Royal this week? and preached eloquently in the Free Church Sunday morning and evening, the text in the evening, his last, being 'Your life is hid with Christ in God," Colossians, III, 3. The last hymn be ing "Rock of Ages." His address to the Sunday-school and, in fact, all the services were very impressive. Mon day morning he paid tne Post a short visit. He complained that he was not stall welland looked very feeble. He went up to Beaufort, where he was taken worse, and departed suddenly as above. The older people of Port Royal have ever bada warm place in their heat for Mr. Walker. He was the first minister preaching in this town, and forsome time conducted services in a car. For 50 years he had been a priest of the Protestant Episcopal Church. His services partook in late years of the missionary character, though he was connected with the church at Wando, and was over in this country on a visit to his son, Mr. E. B, Walker, of Jericho, and friends in Beaufort and Port Royal. His death occurred at the Beaufort House, where he was stopping for the night. Mr. Walker only lacked a few weeks of be ing 80 years of age. Ha leves an aged widow and a son and daughter to mourn his death. The funeral services were held ia St. Heiena Church yes terday afternoon in the presence of a large congregation. Rev. Robert Wilson read the burial services, and the re mains were interred in the church yard. The choir, a strange coinci dence, sang the very last hymn Mr. Walker gave out in the Free Church Sunday, "Kocks of \ges." -Port Royal Post.
