      On Thursday morning last, at his residence in New Holland, Hon. WILLIAM HIESTER, aged 63 years. He had been in very infirm health for many years, and was attacked with paralysis on Tuesday. Mr. H., we understand, was a native of Berks county, but removed, when young, to this county, and resided here until his death. He had held several high posts of honor from the people - having been elected to the Senate of the State, to the Congress of United States, and a member of the Convention which reformed the State Constitution in 1837-8. He was a gentleman of great amiability of character, and was highly esteemed by all his neighbors and acquaintances.
