DEATH OF Mr.. ASA NJ. JANNEY.-1nfor-
nation was received here yesterday OF the
death Of Mr.. Asa NJ. Janney, which occurred
at his residence in Loudoun county on Wed
nesday night. Mr.. Janney was very well
known and highly esteemed in this city,
and died at the advanced age OF seventy-hve
wears. He was a miller by trade, came to
Richmond about the year 1882, and took
charge of Rutherford's old mill, on the canal
two miles west Of the city. The walls Of
the old mill are still standing near the tow
path OH the canal, in picturesque locality,
and last summer were wellnigh covered
with ivy. His fine business capacity and
accurate knowledge OF all that pertained to
the manufacture Of -four brought him into
notice, and in few years he was given a
position in the Gallego' mills, then probably
the largest four-mills in the country. He
was soon after made head-miller, place
which he filed up to the time Of his removal
to the country. About the year 1861 he
purchased mill In the county of Lou
doun and removed there just about the time
OF the breaking out OF the war. He
was appointed agent to the Santee Indians
by General Grant upon the inauguration OF
his peace policy towards the Indians; but
after two years. service so far from home
be returned to his native county, and, pur-
chasing a residence in the little village OF
Lincoln, resided there up to the time Of his
death. "--
Mr.. Janney was well-known and con-
sistent member Of the Society of Friends,
and always wore the plain garb Of that sect.
He was universally respected and esteemed
for his upright and honest character, and
his loss will be severely felt.
He will be buried to-day from his former
residence.
