Death of Marshall McCormick.

  Marshall McCormick, formerly of this city, died in the county 
almshouse at half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, of consumption.  
He was about 28 years old.  His dying request was that he would like to 
be buried beside his father in Fairview cemetery.  This wish the 
Commissioners could not gratify.  His relatives are nearly all dead.  
Mr. Timothy Donahue hearing of Marshall's last wish, went to work and 
raised the sum of $11.45 from the former friends of the deceased in the 
city, which he handed over to Commissioner McIntosh, and the dying wish 
of the unfortunate young man will be duly complied with to-day.  Mr. 
Donahue deserves praise for the interest he took in the matter.
