THE Evening Wisconsin of the 10Th
gives the following particulars of the
death of the late Hon J. A Lapham:
Prof. Increase Allen Lapham fell dead
yesterday afternoon at about six O'Clock in
boat in which he was returning from a
fishing excursion he had set out on at noon.
We are particular in mentioning the partic-

sons were put on their guard by these at

ever afterward whenever he undertook any
journey or work that promised to re-

that the trouble was that the professors
heart refused to supply sufficient quanti-
ty of blood in cases of over-eXertion Dur
ing the past summer the professor has been
residing with his sons, Henry and Charles,
at their farm near Oconomowoc. His health
seemed very good, and he was in excellent
spirits. IL was common for him to get into
the rowboat and pull off for few hours
fishing in Oconomowoc Lake-but some one
of his family used to make it point to ac-
company him. Yesterday he seemed to be
in very good health, and about one O'Clock
told his daughter that he was going out to
fish, and as he had had rather poor luck sew
eral times before, was going to stay until he
succeeded in getting agood string. His son
