nothing can so sensbly improve the tone
OF feeling than good play. The theatre
where the magic Of many combined arts
are displayed, where eloquence, and party
has life, and morality is taught b. living

Another Sudden Death On Saturday
evening a little before nine o'clock, Mr.
VIM. w. Baker, oldest son of Judge
Baker, of this place, while sitting in n
chair at home died very suddenly. He
had just returned from church, and was
accompanied to the house by Mr.. VIM.
Willis, who was at the time conversing
with him. Mr.. w. noticing the young
man fall forward little In his chair,
went to his assistance, but in moment
he was insensible Medical aid was at
once procured, but the physician said
death had come almost instantaneously.
For some time deceased had been suffer-
ing from heart disease, but on the day
of his death had felt unusually well.-
We have been called upon to record
many sudden deaths recently, but in no
case has the task been so sad as IL is
this time, Mr.. Baker being not only a
near neighbor, but an esteemed friend,
and young man of much promise.
Though the parents and friends cam
not help mourning over their bereave-
ment, they have the satisfaction of
feeling that what is their loss is VIII
