SUDDEN DEArH.-Mr. James W. Livingston,
of Arkansas City, died very suddenly ut the
Buckeye House, in this city, OH Friday last, of
disease of the heart. Mr.. Livingston left Ar
kansas City on the preceding Monday in a two
horse wagon. accompanied by party of three
or four other persons and teams. On the way
he bought and ate some cardines and cheese.
He soon after complained of feeling unwell.
He reached this city about half-past II p. m,
and went 10 the Buckeye House little after 1
o'clock; upon entering the office, be asked u
gentleman to give him his chair, saying he was
sick. He sat down, and soon after called the
clerk and told him to call in doctor TO bleed
him. The clerk started Immediately in pur-
suit of physician, but failed to find any one
in his Office. The attention of Mr.. Frantz one
OF the proprietors Of the house, was called to
the sick man soon after, and seeing that Mr..
l.. was in a critical condition, he did all in his
power for the comfort of his unfortunate guest
but before the aid of ply sician could be OBJ
tanned, the disease had done its work and the
stranger was in the article Of death. He did
not speak after he requested the clerk to call a
physician, and appeared unconscious when
first seen by Mr.. Frantz. The coroner, DIR.
Morris, and DR.. De La Matyr arrived about the
same time, but too late. The former summon

death from disease of the heart.
On his person was found STA, a gold watch,
and several letters from his wife. The letters
are well written, and evidently from an intel
iigent and loving wife, advising him TO be
careful of his health, in view of the disease from
which he suffered, and which it is intimated
ensued from his exposure and hardshIps in the
army and while in a rebel prison during the
war. He has a furnishing store at Arkansas
City, and while on the road informed his CON-
panions that he was coming here TO obtain a
supply OF boots and shoes
The deceased was deeently attended to, cloth
ed in an extra suit OF clothes found in his
trunk aud after being deposited in the coffin
the body was placed in the parlor of the Buck.
eye House until the next day, when Rev. MIR.
Kelly was called in, and prayer made in be-
half OF the dead and the living who had lost n
husband and friend. The body was then
ed To send 1t back to Arkansas City for burial
but decomposition had progressed very randi
ly. and in view Of the very bad condition Of
the roads, it was declared by the ply sicians 10
be utterly impractieable, and for this reason he
was buried here.
1t may be well to add that the deceasel had
not registered his name at the Buckeye House
and did not get his dinner there. lie was sick
when he entered the Office, and was corpse
half an hour afterwards.

CHEEsE.-The following item was publish

AS there were several crro RS in the figures we
republsh 1t. This subject is of great impor-
lance TO our people:
j. W. Adair, Of this place, MIXED on an av-
erage ~ cows, per day during 1i6 days, end
ing with Saturday, week ago. During that
period these cows yielded him 81 ,0O2 pounds of
milk, which made 3, 100 pounds of cheese, and
for this he has received tri1e over II cents
per pound. Take out three cents per pound
for making the cheese, and he has S434 for the
product OF the liI cows in less than four
months-&10s,5O per month, or nearly 81 per
day. We would like to know what kind of
business will pay any better. Mr.. Adair is at
present making about $50 pounds Of butter
each week. From the above it will be seen
that each cow gave some $500 pounds of milk
In four months, or doubtless more than three
times her own weight. II is such facts as the
above that are building up an extensive
