Btittov UeroH Age seems to intensity

teut Of the crime, its scientific exc
cution and the peculiar distress it has
entailed upon 80 many individuals is uni
versally commented upon, partition,
only, separated strange man with Il few
bottles Of wine samples, from the bank
vault with its great treasure. La one
respect this was the very counterpart OF
the great tunnel robbery in New York
some years since In both cases the field
of operation was obtained by the parties
assuming to do legitin,a ate business.
Had the Boyleston Bank officers never

caution should have fanked the JOB which
has just been perpetrated, and brace
of williams would not have bankrupted SO
many worthy and Industrious persons.
Since the election, some weeks since,
liquor seizures have been unusually fre-
quent. The High Priest of Prohibition,
Major Jones, has created panic in the
strongholds of the anti pros. Such mall
administration ab has characterized the
enforcement Of this law would stamp q
Choctaw code with ineffable disgrace.
Business is sluggish. The immense
stocks to be seen in the houses of import
ers and jobbers attest the fact that great
expectations have not been realized.
Western patronage has been very light
this season. The specie question is fully
discussed.
The business Accommodations Of the city
are expanding more than could have been
anticipated, and trade has pushed about
the last relic OF "ye ancient nobility" up

Fort Ann.

oBITUARY.-Died, in Fort Ann village,
on the 18th inst. DIR. Salmon Axtel, aged
n years. 4 months and days.
Fort Ann, In the death Of DIR. Artel,
has Lost one Of its most active, useful and
influential citizens. lie was born In Will
mington, VI. July llth, 1892. Came 20
Fort Ann In 1915. Commenced the prac-
tioe of medicine as soon ns be became "a
citizen 81 tho town, and was cnablcd 90
continue IL with success for more than
fifty years. In 1893 he was chosen 10 ro-
pr.-v.. i..- district In the Legislature, and
eight times ho was elected Suporvi-os .s
bis adopted town. But on the first Of
June, 1869, his activity aud usefulness
were suddenly torminated by paralytic
stroke, since which time bis life has been
one Of suffering, and the last ten weeks Of
the period. one Of entire helplessness. He
died on the 19th ult. His funeral took
place on the 2lst, and was attended by a
large concourse Of his fellow citizens, who
thus attestcd their respect for their de-
ceased friend. Religious services in the
Methodist church, where very eloquent
discourse was delivered by Rev. w. A
Miller, and listened 10 with marked atten-
tion.
DIR. Axtell was man Of more than or.
.dinary r,ind. With a capacity for acquir-
ing knowledge, and with retentiye
memory, he was emphatically well read
man, in history, in the science Of his pro-
fession, and in the general news of the
day. He was close observer of men and
things, good Judge of human nature, and
peculiarly adapted to derive useful knowl-
edge from all his surroundings. A good
ply ysician ready to relieve the sufferings
of the poor as well as of the more wealthy.
A man of probity and honor, despising a
mean action, scrupulously upright in all
his business relations and holding in utter
contempt nything that would compromise
strict integrity, or would place him below
the standard Of strictly honest man. As
a friend, he was warm and generous to all
who commanded his confidence, his dis
like of those who did not merit bis es TEEN
were equally positive bat never designedly
unjust. He was tenacious Of his opinions
but not properly self-willed. The princi-
pie of determination which he frequently
evinced arose from his unyielding adher-
ence TO what he believed to be right. He
was a man of surprising energy. When
the claims Of suffering humanity, when
business or duty demanded his time or
attention, all distractions must give way,
all difficulties must b overcome; where he
was most needed there be would be found.
But DR.. Axtell has gone from among
men. His name win long be remem-
bered by his many surviving friends. His |
is endcsred TO them by his labori- |
ous services and his many virtues. Hsv-
ing secured the generous regard of his
and having written his
name in their affections he has crested .
nors lasting monument for himseaf than
Tho sculptured marble or ths sildsa
bronze. v.N.E
