Sudden Death of Deputy
Sheriff A.II. Hunter.

1t Is our painful duty to announce the sudden
death Of ABRAN l.. HUNTER, Deputy Sheriff OF
Vinton County, which occurred athis residence,
the Jailor's Dwelling, about o'clock, ON
Thursday morning, October "A, 1871, after a
evening previous to his death.
The deceased was born In Monroe Township,
Muskingum County, Ohio, on the 9th Of July,
1899, and his age was 80 years, 3 months, and 10
days. He came to Elk Township, with his pa
rents, in the year 1851, and had resided here
since that time. In May, 1857, he married Miss
REBEccA WARREN, Of this town, and he leaves
his beloved wife, an aged mother, and a number
Of brothers and sisters, TO mourn his untimely
death. Being one Of our most respected and
reputable citizens, o man Of genial and obliging
disposition, his death caused an unusual shock
to our entire community. He was always a
firm Democrat, and in his death, the party, as
well as community, lose a most useful member.
He had hlled the oi1ice of Constable for NUM-
ber Of years. During the two terms which j.
]. SHoOKEY was Sheriff Of this County, Mr..
HUNTER was Deputy Sheriff, being appointed
to that position about the first Of the year 1866,
and from the commencement Of the term of
DANIEL BOOTH, Sheriff. In January, 1869, until
his death, he filed the position of Deputy Sher-
iff and Jailor.
He was q member Of the Masonic Lodge of
this place, and occupied an honorable position
among his fellow-men. But those who knew
him so well, will know him no more forever.
We can truly say that his departure has left a
great vacancy in the family and social circle;
vacancy which no earthly object can 1ll
At O'Clock on Friday afternoon, the mem
bers Of the Macarthur Masonic Lodge, assisted
by delegations from neghboring Lodges, to-
gether with large number Of the citizens of
the county, assembled at his late residence to
pay the last tribute of respect to their late
brother and friend. The whole thea formed
into procession and proceeded to the Presbyte-
rian Church, where the funeral services were
read by Rev. r. DOUGHTY. of the M. E. Church,
who also delivered very impressive discourse,
eulogizing, in his usual eloquent and affection
ape manner, the merits of the deceased in ev-
cry relation of life. The beautiful services for
the burial Of the dead, according to the Ma
sonic Order, were then commenced, c. p, WARD
officiating, and the procession again formed
and proceeded to the. Hofhines' Graveyard,
two miles south Of town, where the Masonic
rites were resumed, and the remains inferred,
feelingly and impressively, from our sight.

A CARD.

A reply seems to be demanded
by what seems to be a general
query, in regard to my practice
Of abstaining from ordinary avo-
cations on Saturdays, the busiest
and most profitable business day
of the week. 1t is answered, in
reply to all interested, that the
day is regarded as sacred and
holy--the Sabbath-the seventh
day, in which no work is to be
done, excepting such as may be
rendered necessary by some
pressing exigency, as the relief
or amelioration of suffering, or
other acts Of mercy and human
ity. It may be necessary to
further state that this belief and
practice is not whoHy derived
from the old Hebrew Scriptures,
or, in other words, we are not a
Jew.
