Another sudden Death.

1t seems, in Minnesota, recently, as If
indeed "death loved shining mark"
Suddenly, DR.. HAYWARD, who promised in
the way of building up our city to be the
RATHBUN of st. Paul, was the other day call
ed away in the very prime of life, with a
score of years of usefulness only a day before
his death apparently fully before him. Then,
still more suddenly, DIR. BoRUP, the guiding
spirit of large financial interests, ruddy with
life and seeming health, expired in his chair,
with little premonitory warning And now,
the Rochester Free Press of July 2, comes to
us in mourning for N. B. Romans, JR., of
that place, one of its editors, and one of the
most promising young men of our State,
suddenly snatched away from an opening
sphere of usefulness and from life, by being
drowned in the Zumbro river at that place.
On the 25th, the Republican Convention of
Olmstead county had appointed him one of
the delegates to the Republican State Con-
vention of July goth. We shortly expected,
therefore, to grasp by the hand and cordially
welcome our former associate In the Constitu-
tional Convention; but the Eext news we
receive is, that his career on earth is ended,
and that we shall see him no more, We
copy from the Free Press the details of the
accident which led to his death.
With feelings of extreme sorrow and grief
we announce the sudden and untimely death
by drowning, on yesterday, of N, B. Robbins
Jr., late editor Of this paper.
Mr.. Robbins was engaged with others ir
endeavoring to repair the injuries done by thu
food to the embankment around the reservoir
at the lower mill, and persisted in remaining
at his work-carrying stone to fill the breaks
occasioned by the water-when the embank
ment suddenly gave way in several places
and the rushing torrent cut off all communi
cation with the shore. Being good swim

then proceeded to two long tables we'll loaded
with substantial fare and delicacics which had
been contributed by the citizens, and soon
iightened them 10 a considerable extent
The whole affair was well planned, although
we were told the threatening weather in the
forenoon disarranged their programme.
The large audience were again called around
the stand, where the regular toasts Of tho A.
were read, and appropriate responses made by
different citizens of Saltwater and st. Paul
ipterspersed with music from the Saltwater
