April 30 1833

STARS. Suddenly, by Apoplexy, at an advanced age, on Monday the 22nd inst., the REV. ARTHUR STARS, for upwards of 30 years Roman Catholic Pastor of the Parish of Longfield, in this County. He possessed the most exalted moral attributes, and his acts of benevolence were practiced indiscriminately without making the profession of the faith he ministered the passport to his bounty. He was an assiduous servant in the Vineyard of the Lord, practicing the principles he inculcated, ‘but his piety was unalloyed by superstition -- his learning by pedantry -- or his liberality by ostentation.

He was interred on Wednesday, in the burying-ground of the new Chapel, lately erected under his patronage in Longfield. His final return to the grave was witnessed by a vast assemblage of all denominations, who were anxious to testify their regret for his death, by attending his obsequies
