SUDDEN DEATH.-This community
was sadtlened last Friday, by the
announcement that Mr.. c. C. Moore
had died from apoplexy, or heart
disease. The day previous he had
complained of feeling unwell, and
did not go to his business on the
morning of the fatal day, but Meth :
er himself nor family felt any alarm,
other than is usual on such occa-
sions. Up to within q few minutes
of his death he was able to move
about his room. When the stroke
came it did its work 50 rapidly that
life was extinct before any medical
aid could be called. The funeral
took place on Monday, and was at
tended by large concourse Of people
who had learned to esteem him for
his many excellences, and who ten
derly sympathize with his severely
stricken family. Deceased was
about 62 years of age, and had been
a resident of our city for Is years or
more.

MUCH beauty has been added to
our city by the improvements made
in the City Hall. The surrounding
grounds should now be fenced, and
grass and trees planted therein, then
the square would be a place to which
the people of Mineral Point could

DIED.-Rev. John Davies, aged 64
years, of heart disease, April Odd,
1877, at his residence in the towr of
Mifflin, after brief illness of less
than half an hour. He had returned
to the house from experimenting
the planting OF some shrubbery in
the enclosure, when he complained
of cold and oppressive feeling at
his heart, and laid down on his bed,
refusing to send for immediate med
ical aid, saying he should set over
it soon, but in less than half an hour
from the time he first complained he
was corpse.
The deceased was one of the early
settlers of Iowa County, having
lived where he died for over thirty
five years, coming there from Mary
land as the youngest of three un-
married brothers, two of whom,
William and David, survive him, as
also two maiden sisters, two wild
owed sisters, and the mother of VIM.
A. Jones, former Principal of our
city schools. He was a man of
strong constitution and commanding
intellect. Had devoted his whole
time to the ministry of the Welsh
Calvanistic Methodist Connexion for
the last thirty years.
Having been blest with what to
him was a good share of this worlds
goods he cared but little. to increase
them, and when tempting offers of a
large salary came to him from
churches in large cities he inYaria-
bly, refused, preferring to minister to
the spiritual wants of his original lit
tie flock that by to-day has grown
considerably ia numbers and wealth.
He was to his church and neigbors in
theWelsh settlement Of MiGlin, Linden
and Belmont, what that good man,
Father McGann was TO bis church
and neighbors in this city-univer-
sally beloved by all denominations
and people who knew him, for his
kindness OF heart and benevolent
disposition.
His sudden death comes with a
crushing force to his kind-hearted
aud aged brothers and sisters, and is
almost an irreparable loss to his
religious connexion in Iowa County
and the State. *.~

MAYOR SPENSLEY'S inaugural is
published with council proceedings,
and contains many wise suggestions,
which we hope to see acted upon
during the summer. Among those
are, 1st, concerning illegal and in
operative ordinances. Past exper-
ience shows an urgent necessity for
. careful revision Of these local
laws. I'd, Concerning the manner OF
paying and settling officers accounts,
the Mayors suggestions are perti-
nent. That this department has in
the past been loosely managed with
out loss to the city is no guaranty
that the practice may with safety
be continued. Sd, relative to organ
ization of fire department, and pro-
viding water facilities for cases OF
fire, the Mayor recommends that
steps be taken by forming at least
one ti,e company, and constructing
cisterns or reservoirs at suitable
points in the city. That we are
entirely destitute Of all means to
contend with fire is reproach that
many would thank the Mayor and
Council to remove. ith, The un-
slightly condition of the City Hall
Square, ought certainly to receive
attention from the Council at once.
The expense necessary to render it
and add to, instead of detracting
from the comeliness of our city,
would, we confidently believe, be
cheerfulIy paid by the people.

Kent, for the last five years pastor
of the Primitive Methodist Church
Of this city, has accepted a call from
the Eastern Conference OF the Con-
nexion, and will soon depart for
Hazelton, Pa, is q subject of regret
to this entire community. Coming
among us from foreign country,
the facility with which he accommo-
dated himself to the manners, Gus
toms and circumstances OF his new
home, soon won for him honor and
respect, not only among members OF
his church, but as we'll among the
people in general, to a degree which
other men require lifetime to
attain, Being a natural republican,,
lac early took lively interest in the
affairs of his adopted country, and
readily familiarized with all matters
Of public character, and on all
proper occasions took active and in
telligent part therein. Above these
eXcCllencies as a citizen shown his
brighter christian graces and moral
virtues, under which his church has
prospered, and much 20 ,ial good
has been done. In his departure
