Sept 29, 1847
Launched on Thursday last, from the shipyard at Indian Point, a well-built and splendid barque named the Ivy Green, of 272 tons, built by Mr. G. Gelly for F. A. Babcock Esq.

It is our painful duty in this number, to record the decease of Dr. Frye. He was a man, the loss of whom must be deeply and sincerely deplored by all classes of the community. In him were united a sound judgment, a benevolent heart, an amiable disposition, and an irreproachable character. From our childhood we have been accustomed to look up to him as to a parent, and his kind advice and friendly admonitions, we have often had the good fortune to receive. We view his loss as the bereavement of a near and valued relative; and sure we are, that everyone who has had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and who is not devoid of the ordinary feelings of humanity, will entertain a like sympathy. Whether in his family, in the social circle or in public life, the same unvarying kindness of disposition, gentleness of deportment, and rectitude of principle, were manifested.
            It is seldom a man has pursued a public course for so long a period, with firmer friends or fewer enemies. His duty as a man and a Christian was faithfully discharged—his life was spent in benefiting his fellow creatures, his death is unfeignedly lamented, and his name and memory will be long and gratefully cherished.
            We sincerely sympathize with his bereaved family, in their present affliction.
Died
At his residence in this Town, on Monday morning last, the 27th instant, Samuel Frye, M.D. in the 61st year of his age, deeply lamented by a large circle of relatives and friends. Educated at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, of which he became a Graduate, he soon after applied himself in the study of Surgery and Physic. Having completed the usual preparatory course, he removed to St. Andrews in the year 1810, and from that time till his death, a period of nearly thirty-seven years, he continued in the exercise of his professional labours. Possessing a sound judgment, a benevolent disposition, and a great experience, he was eminently qualified for the discharge of those duties in which he had been so long engaged. In his last illness he exhibited no querulousness or impatience but was calm and resigned agreeably to the even tenor of his previous life, and met death with the pious submission of a Christian.—Com.
