Death of Samuel Marx.

Samuel Marx, Esq., Cashier of the Bank of Virginia, died yesterday, from an attack of paralysis. It was the second attack of the same disease, and came on while he was sitting at the dinner table. The former attack confined him to his bed for some time; but he had recovered much more completely from it than his friends could have supposed. Mr. Marx was aged about sixty-five. He was raised to mercantile life by his father, the late Joseph Marx, who was one of the most correct and discreet men of his time, and one of the most intelligent and respected of the business men of Richmond. Mr. Samuel Marx was one of the kindest and most considerate of gentlemen. He was a man of business talents and business habits, and in his intercourse with his fellow men in the often complex, and sometimes delicate duties of Cashier of a Bank, such was his unvarying amenity of manners, and such the fairness and justness of his conduct, that he commanded both the respect and esteem of all. If there ever was a man who died without an enemy, that man was Samuel Marx. He was "an Israelite in whom there was no guile."
