Death Notice Judge ROSS, whose death was recently noticed, was considered a sound Lawyer – and in his early life, he was a zealous advocate – we often witnessed his zeal and heard the thunder of his voice before their 'Honors, and Gentlemen of the Jury: ' But the Judge had some peculiarities of character, (as who has not?) - He owned a favorite Tavern Stand and Farm, just north of the Wind Gap in Northampton county, called ROSS-COMMON, now occupied by Mr. James Ely, a friend of ours who began the business of life with a pretty good resolution – which still continues – and whose Venison, Trout, and Buckwheat cakes, have a peculiar zest when the weary traveller seats himself at his well spread table. On his farm the Judge directed his earthly tabernacle to be deposited – and his body was placed in a leaden coffin – carried thither, and entombed. We imagine he has directed a plain monument to be erected, to tell the enquiring traveller where rests the 'MAN OF ROSS.'
