George N. Hapgood. ono of the publishers
and editors of the Warren Chronicle, which
occurred at Warren, on Friday last, after q
very brief illness. He was son of George
Hapgood, senior. one of tho editorial pio.
neers on the Western Reserve, who edited
tho Chronicle for many years in the palmy
days OF the Wing party, of which he was a
devoted member. George N. Hapgood had
been connected with the Chronicle for seve.
raj years, always proving himself sagacious
and honorable Journalist, a courteous gen.
,leman, good citizen, and an earnest advo-
cate of human freedom. He was true to
tho country in it's struggle with rebellion.
and served in one of the hundred days reg
iments called out In 1864. He can illy be
spared from tho ranks of loyalty at this
time, and bis death will be regarded as q
public calamity in the community where lie
had so long lived with honor.-Cleve Lead
