Hon. Charles Albright Dead.

The report that Hon. Charles Albright, of
Mauch Chunk, bad died at his residence in
that borough, at about six o'clock on Tues
day 'rorning last; although expected, was
received with much sorrow by our people
II j death resulted from paralysis, brought
ON 10y over-eXertion. Gen. Albright was one
of the most distinguished lawyers of Penn
sylyania, a leader of the bar of this county,
and gallant soldier during the war OF the
rebellion. He was born in Bucks county,
Pa, December l3, $780, his father being Sol
omon Albright, and the family one of the
oldest in that portion of the State. He
graduated at Dickinson College in June,
1851, studied law with Robert L. johnson,
of EbensburgJ ana was admitted TO the bar
in December, 1852. In 1884 he went to
Kansas and acted with the anti slavery party
there until lS56,when he returned to Penn
sylvania and settled down to the profession
of the law at Mauch Chunk. In 1860 he
was delegate to the National Republican
ConyentiOn which nominated Lincoln. He
took prominent part in the political cam
paign which followed, and at the outbreak
of the rebellion was active in raising troops
in response TO the call of the President. In
August, 1862, he was commissioned Major
Of the 1921 Pennsylvania volunteers, rising
rapidly, by promotions for meritorious con-
duct, to the rank OF Brevet BrigGdier Gener-
al. He served in the battle of Antielam,
and thereafter IN nearly all the great battles
of the war with conspicuous gallantry. In
August 1865, he was mustered out Of the
service and resumed the practice of law at
Mauch Chunk. In 1879 he was delegate
to the Republican National Convention at
Philadelphia, which nominated Gen. Grant
for president. In 1873 he was elected
Congressman at large for Pennsylvania to
the Forty-thrd Congress, where he served
on the Committee on Military Affairs. De-

attempt anything.

Our council at its meeting on Monday
evening last resolved to do several very
sensible things. First to compel the clear
ing and cleaning out Of the sinking ditch
running along the railroad, to which we
have for several weeks past been directing
their attention and also 70 remove a number
Of porches and steps projecting over the
sidewalks, and TO repair and build pave
mehts along the several thoroughares.
This is step in the right direction, and
will bring down blessings upon them, if
they only go 10 work and carry out the
resolutions thoroughly and effectively.
Read the resolutions in to-day's paper, and
if you are interested make the necessary inn
provements.
