MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

CoUDEaSPoRT, Potter county.
December %. 1887
An awfully solemn case occurred in
this place few days since, which adds
to the list another proof Of the certainty
Of death and the uncertainty Of life
John II. Rose, Esq'r. merchant of this
place, was found dead in his sta.
bic IN five minutes after he had
been converting with his family as usua
without any cnange in countenance
whatever. The circumstances we're as
follows:
Tie was surrounded by bis friends
who were at the time paying a visit;
he was in cheerful and social frame:
he had eaten hearty breakfast in com
pany with his friends a short time be.
lore, ALTER which he went to hi, store.
where be had received three wagon
loads OF goods the evening previous
he opened some boxes, and set the
men 70 putting the goods W. in the
store. He then went 10 the Registers
office. (be being Pro,honolary. Regis
ter and Recorder,) and set bis clerks
to recording deeds, &c. After which
he returned TO bis own house, a dis.
lance Of about % yards, and his wife
being indisYosed, requested him to ride
out mile or two with her.
Accordingly he went 10 the stable TO
harness hIs horse. A few days before.
q gun had been borrowed TO shoot Wild
ducks from . window Of his stable that
overlooked the river. The gun was
lying on box which lay, bottom up
wards, on q hogshead, about as high as
Ishead, and where there was also ken,
a rake, which was occasionally used
for drawing down hay. II is probable
Mr.. r. had been using. and threw il
csrelessly from him IN a hurry. as II
was found lying on the box alongside
