about fifty invited guests, ladies and

1t is our unpleasant duty this
week TO chronicle the death of Esquire
Henry NJ. Jones, OF Hillsdale. On
Thursday the Sd inst. we had the
pleasure Of meeting Mr.. Jones in this
city and to ali appearance within the
limited sight of mortal man, he was
in robust health. and unusually so for
a man of his age, but he then without
knowing it, was about to be hurried
across the dark river. On Friday
morning he rose at his usual early
hour, fed his stock, ate his breakfast
heartily, but in a few minutes there
after was seized by the hand Of death
and died instantly. Those near him
say he expired within one minute af-
ter he was stricken. We did not
learn whether it was an apOpletie fit
or heart disease.
At the time OF his death Esquire
Jones was teaching the St. Deroin
school. His life has been an unusual
ly checkered one, its history would
be one fraught with interest. bat we
have not the data from which to
write in detail. He was English by
birth, served many years in the U. s.
navy, was a regular in the L. 5. army
and a volunteer IN the war for the Un-
ion. He was a good scholar. well in
formed, respectable writer. a good
citizen and an honest man. Many
friends will sorrow for his sudden TAX
ing off and the community in which
, ne lived will deeply feel his loss

the Lincoln Journal: "a burning
chimney, when the SCOT has been
lighted by fire in the fire place, can
be extinguished by shutting all the

any current of air up the chimney ;
then, by throwing few handfuls of
common fine salt upon the fire in the
crate, or on the hearth, the fire in the
chimney will be Immediately extin-
guished." The philosophy of this is
that in The process of burning the
salt, muriatic acid is evolved, which
is a prompt extinguisher of fire.

until further legislation is had. As
the statutes now stands no election of
