u DISTRESSING ACClDENr.-O last
Saturday morning, Mr.. WILLIAM Jouys,
one OF the Oldest and most respected cit.-
zens Of New Haven, met his death al.
most instantly, in a quite singular man
ner. 1t appears that he was engaged in
throwing straw from stack 10 a wagon,
and that while standing on one of the
stakes it broke, preci pita'ing him to the
ground. Having pilchfork in his hand
at the time, he threw it fro him, but
striking against something, it became re-
versed, the tines pointing upward, AID
Mr. J. fell directly upon the fork, both
prongs piercing through the breast. AT.
ter the accident he was able TO Withdraw
the tines from the wound, and walk two
or three rods 10 the barn yard gate, where
meeting friend, he exclaimed, I'm a
dead man." fell down and expired with>
out struggle.
On Sunday, Mr. Johns was buried.
Being at the time of his death a member
Of the order Of Odd Fellows, at the re-
quest of his family, the funeral was TAX
en- in charge by the brotherhood, J. w.
BEEKMAN, Esq, Of this place, acting as
Chief Marshal for the occasion. In ad-
dltion to Nav Haven Lodge, large dele
cations Of the fraternity from Plymouth,
Shelby, Ro me, Fairfield and A tica, and
quite a number Of The Daug ghters OF Re-
becca were present. The funeral pro-
coSsion was probably the largest ever VII
messed in ibis region--a large body Of
people beside Odd Fellows being in it.
One thing we were glad to see, and it
was valuable testimony of the high re-.
spcct in which the deceased was held
all his workmen, and there were quite a
number, appeared in the procession as
second mourners, with the customary
badge Of mourning. An eloquent and
appropriate sermon was delivered by the
Chaplain, Rev Mr.. JUpsoN, 0f Ogonz
Lodge, Sandusky, and at The grave the
beautiful ritual Of the order was read. af-
Ter which the cortege returned TO the vii.

In the death Of IIr. JOINS, not only
his family, but the community, generally,
has met with an irreparable loss. As a
husband and father he was kind and low
ing, as an employer he was ust and gen.
erous, as a citizen he was enterprising
and liberal. His unbounded benevolence
won him the love of the poor. and the
admiration of all knew him. His purse
was ever open-the calls of charity were
never disregarded, Eulogy is unnecessa.
ry. His worth was appreciated and felt
by the ciIzens Of New Haven, and will
make hem deeply sympothize with the
family in their great bereavement. May
He who tempers the wind to the shorr
lamb, sustain and bear them up under this
heavy load Of afliction.
