Our Bloomingburg correspondent
speaks in rather uncomplimentary terms
of Prof. Scharf, the elocutiOnist. Prof
Scharf gave two readings in City Hall, in
this place, a few weeks since, to rather
small, but very appreeiative audiences,
and both he and the young man who ac-
companied him conducted themselves as
gentlemen while here. A number of our
prominent citizens, who heard the Pro-
fessor, gave him strong recommendations
to other towns he might visit, and con-
sideFed themselves warrented in so doing
by the character of the entertainments
given by Prof. Scharfhere. Considering
cur Bloomingburg correspondent COM
petent and fair critic, we must conclude
that the professor doesn't treat all the
towns he visits alike, or else it wasn't the
genuine Prof. Seharf who visited the
burg; or something else. The difference
Of opinion as to the professors talents and
merits between a cultured audience in
Washington and a ditto in Bloomingburg,
onght to be accounted for some way.
sFldden Death of mF. Theodore OgIe.
Mr.. Theodore Ogle, of this place, died
suddenly and unexpectedly, on Monday
evening. He was on his way home to
supper, about six O'Clock, and when pass
ing the residence of F. A. Murray, on
Court street, was noticed by persons on
the street to stagger, and grasp the fence
for support. Mr.. Geo. Saxton and another
gentleman went to his assistance, and ne
told them he was suffering with a severe
pain in his heart, and did not think he
could get home without assistance. A
chair was brought from Mr.. Murray's
house, and he was placed in it, and a
physician sent for. He did not speak after
he was placed in the chair, and when Dr.
Coffman arrived, within few minutes
after the messenger was dispatched for
him, he pronounced Mr.. Ogle dead. He
was carried to his home, a couple of
squares further on, where, his family
were awaiting his arrival, having heard
that Something had happened to him, but
not knowing he was dead until he was
Drought into the house. The shock to
Mrs. Ogle was terrible, and so prostrated
her that fatal results were feared during
the night.
Mr.. Ogle has suffered from trouble with
his heart for some time past, but on the
day of his death was feeling as we'll as
usual, and had been engaged in business
all day. He passed several of his acquaint-
anees on his way toward his home in the
evening, within short distance of where
his death occurred, and spoke to them as
usual land nothing uncommon was noticed
in his actions or appearance. The family
haYe the sympathy of many friends in
their sudden and sad bereavement. The
funeral took place from the family resi-
dence yesterday afternoon.
