We were led by rumor, last week, which
appeared to be well authenticated, toannounce
the death of Reuben NJ Kresge, by freezing.
This turns out not to have been the case.
Mr.. K, died after an illness of several days.
and received the kind attention of friends
from the time he was first attacked until
death closed his eyes in the eternal sleep.
We regret that we were thus led iniustly,
possibly, to wound the feelings of his rela-
tives and friends, of whom he had large
number in this county and vicinity.
