Death OF John sheridan, sr.

John Sheridan, Sr., for many years a
citizen of Somerset, and we'll and favor
ably known in this village and vicinity,
departed this life at his residence in this
place at one o'clock yesterday afternoon,
in the 18th year Of his age. During the
latter part of the winter, Mr.. Sheridan
was in poor health, and few weeks
since, became so seriously i'll that it
was feared he could not long survive.
From this, however, he so. far recovered
as to be able TO be out again, and hopes
were entertained that he would regain
his usual health when the weather
should become pleasant. But he grew
worse on Thursday morning, and rapid
~ sank beyond the hope Of recovery, and
expired as above stated. His funeral
will take place tomorrow.

A. p Ashbrook < Co., have retired
from the grocery business in this place,
and are succeeded by Mr.. Hamilton,
of Brownsville, Ohio, to whom they sold
their stock one day last week. Mr.. H,
is spoken of by persons acquainted with
him as an upright citizen and an ener-
getic business man. Somerset gladly
welcomes such an acquisition to her
population, and it is to be hoped that
Mr.. II. may meet with ample encour-
agement IN his business relations in our
midst.
During his short career as grocer, in
this place, Capt. Ashbrook, the moving
spirit" of the retiring firm, built up a
trade which for magnitude and evident
desirableness, was simply matter of
amazement to very many of our citi-
zens. He made his store first-class in
every respect, and introduced popular
features into the business never before
attempted here. Apparently. he fully
appreciated the importance of neriting
patronage, and 1t may be appropriately
said of him that he "never permits any
grass to- grow under his feet" But man.
aging an extensive and rapidly increas-
ing business and the affairs of big Mill
at the same time, was a rather more on
erous task than he fancied, so he con-
cluded to try the Mill alone for awhile

A Change

AT meeting Of the Board of Educa-
tion of Somerset School District and an
nexed territory, the question of the
hours of holding the election, called by
the said Board, for the purpose of voting
for or against the levying of a tax for
school building purposes, was, on mo-
ton, reconsidered; and it appearing to
the satisfaction of said Board that some
of the voters of said district would be
deprived of exercising their elective
franchise, if the polls shonld be closed
at 1 o'clock p. NJ. at said election, on
motion, the call was amended so as to
read "between the hours of ! o'clocK P

Col. Mcclure pays his respects to Ha'-
stead in this puhgent fashion:
Halstead is clever jester, and an ad-
mlrable supper companion over wine
and snipe, and one of the freshest of
newspaper writers, but as politician
he is not a success. Like the Yankee
fiddler who always ended on Yankee
Doodle, no matter what tune he started
on, Mr.. Halstead always rotates around
in politics until he lights on Charles
Francis Adams as the next President.
He has been at it for ten years now, and
will keep at it till the next Adams shall
succeed 10 his father as a Presidential
candidate, but if he could get n guaran-
tee of life until he gets his programme
through, he will live to be more vener-
able than Washington's body servant OF
the last veteran of the revolution. In
the meantime the Commercial will sell
and with that Mr. Halstead will be con-

The external Punishment Clause.

The passages in the church of Eng
land paryer book, which thteaten the
unbeliver and evil doer with eternal
punishment, give considerable offence to
a portion of Her Majesty's subjects who
do not possess enough orthodoxy TO
quietly acquiesce in all that the church
teaches. A memorial is being prepared,
addressed to the House of Commons, re-
questing the expurgation of the objec
tionable clauses. The demand is likely
te meet with much opposition from the
supporters of the established Church,
and lively controversy upon the pro-
priety of allowing the threats to remain
is expected. 1t will be watched with
considerable interest by the religious
people of both continents.
