Died at San Diagonia, Lower California, on the 7th of April last, of
the mountain fever, terminating in dysentery, Wm. Barry Mather, aged 18 years, formerly of Adrian in this State, but more recently of Cincinnati, Ohio. The deceased was endeared by uncommonly strong ties of friendship to a large circle of acquaintances -- the zealous promoter of all the benevolent objects of the day -- a member of the Presbyterian Church, and the only child and idol of Mrs. E. Ross, Cincinnati. He left that city in the spring of 1849 in company of his uncle, C.N. Ormsby, and others of that place, for California by the overland route. The letter from Dr. Ormsby containing the above sad intelligence, dated Los Angeles, April 2nd represented himself as in good health, but depressed in spirits in consequence of fatigue and anxiety.
