Our time-honored friend of Dun
Glen. ID. p. Crook, was drawn on tbe
Grand Jury for January term next.
lie wrote the Judge asking to be ex-
cused on account of ill health, and
says; II will serve next summer, if 1
should live, with pleasure. Some
one signing his name as j. H. Jobson,
Clerk, wrote to d. 2. as follows:
I'd. P. Crook, Esq: am in
structed by the Judge to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of December
9th. 1875, and state to you that it
would afford the Judge great pleasure
to excuse you. but as it is doubtful
about your living till next summer. he
does not feel justified in letting you off.
de desires that you should render
some little Serrice to the county before
your demise. 1t is duty every citi-
Zen owes to his country for the pro.
lection the country gives him. The
law protects the property and person
OF all-the unjust as we'll as the Just,
the sinner IS well as the righteous, the
worthless as well as the most exem-
piary, hence your request must be
denied. Your obedient servant.
j. H. ,JoRsoN CLERK

ment upon matters in which he is inter
ested. J.HJ

The Rev. Alejo Hernandez died her,
on the night of the 27tb. He was
bora in Aguas Calicntss, Mexico, in
1887, and had not quite finished his
collegiate course when his studies were
interrupted Ly the Maximilian wsv.
He was led to embrace Professionalism
by reading the Bible ana Protestant
works in Matamoras in 1867, shortly
after which he came to this city and
connected himself with the Methodist
church. He was shortly afterwards
sent to the City of Mexico and placed
in charge of the Methodist Church In
the Capilla de Andres. After about a
years labor he was stricken with in
fiammatory rheumatism and subso.
9uently by paralysis. Being disabled
for further service there, he returned
to his friends among whom he first be-
gan his ministerial labors.
On the evening preceding his death
there was nothing in his condition IN
dicating any decided change. He was
seated in his invalid chair, to which he
had been confined during his long ILL
ness, and while all around him were
calmly sleeping his spirit passed from
earth to heaven.
He was buried on the 2Sth with the
ceremonies of the Methodist Church,
