  	Died in Sutton, April 6, Mr. Joseph Hall, aged eighty-eight. Mr. Hall was son of Rev. David Hall, D.D., who was pastor of the first Congregational church in Sutton for the space of sixty years. Of thirteen children which composed his father's family he outlived all but one. At the age of eighteen he entered into the freshman class at Harvard University, and maintainied a respectable standing in his class. He obtained the esteemed appropation of the faculty of the university, and in the year 1774 received the degree of A.B. Mr. Hall taught a grammer school in his native town for more than forty years. It is believed that he assisted more young men in their studies, preparatory to entering college, than almost any other person that lived in the county of Worcester. He was a man of uprightness and integrity, in whom the people best acquainted with him placed implicit confidence. As an evidence of this he was elected town clerk in his native place for nearly thirty years in succession. When he was eighty-four years of age he commenced the study of the French language, and acquired so much knowledge of it as to be able to read it with ease; and has actually read through the New Testament in French, several times, carefully comparing it with the English. He lived with his bereived companion fifty-four years; she is now left to mourn the loss of a kind husband, and his children of a tender parent.
