Sad Death I'm C~I1eoL. nv Poison

To the Editors ofthe Herald and Nal:
Death, like Time, IL an impartial con-
queror. The grim monster when ap-
preaching unmashed by q show and
steady tramp in lingering consumption
or protracted fevers, at last ILLS our
hearts with sadness when the end
cOmes-thOugh expecting the blow we
are somewhat prepared for it. But when
ho steps suddenly into to the bosom OF
happy family and removes one pres
ciOus one after another without warn
ing, how it sickens the soul and how
cheerless and desOlate is the fireside.
How sad must be the hearts OF those in
Culleoka, where with remorseless
scythe he has slain his tens-of. thou
sands,
j. U. Piter suddenly and unexpected>
ly To his numerous friends in Culleoka
and surrounding country, departed to
that country from whose bourne no
traveller returns. Culleoka does not
mourn alone, His large circle OF con-
nectiOns in Columbia mourn with her In
her sad bereavement. But q short time
since in the bloom of health he removed
from that city to this place, intending
to apply his large experience to build
ing up the industrial interests OF his
adopted home in the Bark trade. In
his business he exhibited REMARKABLE
proficiency and his wonderful natural
endOwments gave promise OF great fu-
ture usefulness. But slaSl alasi that he
should be cut of in the prime OF life.
predOminAtinR characteristics were
fOndness for children and love OF homo.
So fond was he OF the sacred retreat Of
the fireside that he was never known
willingly to surrender Its pleasures
though naturally of q social and com~
panionable disposition, in all his life
he was never seen away from home and
was never known 10 visit @ neiRhbor.
1t is true he waa named for the great
hunderer, but his thunder was expend-
ed on stray dogs perigrInating cats.
