JOHN G. JAQUEs.-Tie sudden and unex-
pected death OF our fellow citizen named above
has already been announced. But we feel as
if the sad even; should not be passed by
without recording a simple tribute TO his
memory. Naturally retiring and unassuming
in his manners, his real character and worth
were known TO comparatively few-and none
but his most intimate friends, those who knew
him best, were fully able to appreciate and
respect his character. He was emphatically
real working mana pattern OF industry and
untring energy. His practical knowledge of
farming, in all Its details, was second to no
one among us. lie was indeed superior
man in the important and useful science OF the
cultivation of the soil and many OF us who
have consulted him will long remember his
good sense and sound judgment on this sub.
ject. He had been married but three weeks.
and while on his wedding journey to Washing
ton took a 8 we're cold, which settled into a
very sudden and painful lung fever, attended
with pleurisy, which carried him off, after an
illness of but five or six days. We sympathize
with the widowed bride and the deceased
relatives in their bereavement His loss will
be deeply felt in the circle Of his acquaintance.
