Sudden Death.

NJ: Uri Young, of Chestertown, Warren
county, New York, died last Thursday
night, June ed, at the residence OF his
daughter, Mrs. DR.. N. N. Barber, in the list
year of his age. His dea tn was terribly sud-
den, having been around as usual during the
day, and retired for the night apparently
well at about nine o'clock. Shortly before
10 o'clock he was taken with violent at
tack of Spasmodc Asthma, disease with
which he had been troubled more or less
for some years, and, Notwithstanding he
took the remedies that many times before
had given him relief, he treathed his last
at lc3 o'clock, his sickness berg of less
than an hours duration. Mr.. Young came
here with his wife on visit 10 Mrs. Bar
Der only few months ago, and the very
sad termination to his stay has created pro-
found sympathy in our midst for the wife,
daughter, relatives and friends. Mr.. Young
was quiet, genial gentleman, possessed OF
fine social qualities and was fast gaining
the affections and esteem Of many here,
when be was called away hence with alarm
ing suddenness, an admoniton TO all that
in the midst OF life we are in death. His
funeral took place from the Congregational
church last Saturday afternoon, and our
recent visitor now rests from his labors in
Oak Hill Cemetery.

Distribution of Reapers

Mr.. S. E Randall, proprietor of the ex-
tensive Agricultural Implement Wareroom.
on the West side, APT ointed last Friday as a
grand distributing day for a portion of
those who had purchased reapers from him
for this season. His customers rallied in
large numbers to take home their reapers
and the vicinity of his establishment bore
an animated and lively appearance A
special invitation was extended to all by
Mr. Randall to partake of dinner at the
Linden House, and knowing that none
would appreciate 'sgood square meap
more than the editorial profession, repre-
sentatves from each of the papers of the
city were included in the number to do
Justice to the we'll filed tables, that were
spread before the guests after the best
style known to "mine host of the
Linden House. Dinner over, our farm
err friends htche9 teams to their respective
wagons and professions of reapers moved
in different directions into the country,
there to await the coming harvest, and do
their share towards securing what promises
now to be one of the heaviest wheat crops
ever gathered in this section of Wi sconsin.
WatertoWn does large Agricultural I'm
plement business, and each year this brancL
of trade increases with US, owing no doubt
to the enterprising spirit manifested by the
dealers in this line.
The following are the persons to whom
were delivered Buckeye and Triumph Reap
ers, last Friday, by Me. Randall:
George BECKER, John Enright,
| Michael Mullen, Thomas Kerner,
| Charles Haase, Edmund Gallagher.

Among the Agricultural Implement

more worthy of patronage than the house

all Around" and judging from the large
business he is doing he carries out his motto

MEN At THEIR BEsT.-Dr. Beard says
that from an analysis OF the lives Of Il thous-
and representative men in al the great
branches of human effort, he made the dis
coyrry that the golden decade Was between
thirty aud for'y the silver, forty and fifty /;
and the brszen between twenty ana thirty /;
the iron between fifty ard sky. The supe-
rioriry of you'h and middle life over old nge
in original work appears all the greater when
we consider the fact that all the positions of
honor and profit and pres;igs-professor,hip
and public stations, are in the hands Of the
old. Reputation, like money and position,
Is mainly confined to the old. Men are not
widely known until long after they have
done the work which gives them their f,me
Portraits Of great men are a delusion +; stat
utes are lies They are taken when men
become famous, which, on the average, Is ~
least twenty-five years after they did the
work which gave them their fame Original
work requires enthusiasm. Ii all the original
work done by men under forry-five years
were annihileted, they would be reduced To
barbaIism. Men are at their best at that
time when enthusiasm and experience are most
evenly balanced. This psrird, on the aver
age, IL from thirty-eight TO forty. After this
'hs law is that experience increases, but en-
thus iasm decreases.

LABOR N tbs SoUru.-BefCre the civil
War, when slavery was an institution in the
South, most Of tho mechanical and all field
labor was performed by the blacks. The
young white men were brought up to the
learned professions, or sought occupation in
such easy pursuits as accorded with their
tastes aud iucliuations. Alter the war, when
slavery had been swept out Of existence, and
most of the wealthy families reduced 10 a
