Death of Maj. Robert H. Kinney.

Death of Maj. Robert H. Kinney.
Intelligence of the death of Maj. Robert
H. Kinney, which occurred at his home in
Grant county, Kentucky, on Friday morn
ing last, was received by his friends here
by telegraph on the same day.
Maj. Kinney was the oldest son of the
late Nicholas G. Kinney, and was about
So years of age. He was a graduate Of
Princeton College, and went as first lieu
tenant of the volunteer company that
went to Mexico from this place, of which
the late Gen. Kenton Harper was Captain
and Gen. William Hartman the second
lieutenant. During the late war he was
Major of Engineers in the volunteer
army of the United States and served
in the West under General Buell..
After his return from Mexico, be was APP
pointed assistant engineer of the Parkers-
burg Turnpike, under the celebrated Col.
Crozet, and made the location of that road
over the Shenandoah mountain, which has
always been regarded by competent judges
to be masterpiece of skill. Upon the
completion of the road he became the gen.
eral superintendent of it, in which posi-
tion he remained until about the year
1857, ,when he removed to Kentucky. He
married Rebecca, the only daughter of
the late Lewis Wayland and grand-daugh
ter of Gen. Robert Porterfeld, of the Rev.
dictionary war He leaves seven children,
four sons and three daughters. all grown,
his wife having died several years ago.
Maj. Kinney had many warm, personal
friends in this city and county when he
left here. In looking around us, his CO.
temporaries can almost be counted on the
fingers, but to the few who are left surviv-
ing him we doubt not the intelligence of
his death will bring many regrets.
IMPORTANT INSURANCE CAsE.-Thos :.
N. Burke, now deceased, resided near
Goshen and insured his life in the Valley
Mutual Company of Staunton for $4,000
for the benefit OF his children. He was
afflicted with hydrocele at the time of his
examination, but failed to state it to the
examining physician and was passed as in
surable. When Burke came to make his
first payment at the home office, in reply
to questions he admitted that he was dis
eased as named, and had unintentionally
omitted to state it. and thereupon formal
ly agreed to surrender his policy if DR..
McChesney on examination pronounced
him uninsurable. That physician did so
pronounce him, but before the surrender
of the policy Burke died. The heirs
brought suit and last week the case was
tried before Judge Mclaughlin in Licking
ton. The court ruled out the agreement
Of Burke with the company and also
bis admissions to the company both being
after his policy was issued, it holding that
the title to the policy was vested in
Burke's heirs at its issue and no act of his
after that could invalidate 1t. The jury
gave verdict for the heirs in the amount
of ST. $40. The case will go up to the
Court of Appeals. Counsel for company
Edmund Pendleton and VIM. A. Ander-
son; counsel for the heirs. John Randolph
Tucker and H. st. George Tucker.

dumping whose kind regard we desired to
catch on to as far as possible.
| How clearly come back to us now the smil
ing faces of the guests, the rippling laugli,the
bald-headed joke, the thanksgiving conun-
drum. and all rs merry as a marriage bell.
We call to mind the girlish laughter of that
one whose very existence. as she sat on our
| left that day, seemed cemented and glued to
our own.
As we sharpened the glittering blade on the
steel ring. we felt buoyant and proud. Proud
to thing how we would slice the white. calm
bosom of that deceased hen. Proud to think
how in our mind we laid out the different
pregnable points of that old cackler, and in
the Anticipation of applause glad and free,
when he had accomplished the warfare and
victory and stutfing had perched upon our
banner.
We softly jabbed the shimmerng fork
astraddle of the breast bone, tore Off a few
goose pimples from under the wings of the
late lamented, gouged out few shattered
fragments from the neck and tried to cut
sirloin steak off the back.
An oppressive gloom seemed to prevade the
air. The old hen didn't have her joints where
we had them laid out in our mind. She was
deformed. She seemed to be a freak Of ma
ture.
1t ratified us and unncrved us.
We gouged wildly at the remains, squirting
the gravy right and left, and filling the air
with bread crumbs and sage.
By some kind of omission or miscalculation
we made a wild stab at the back of the la
mented hen, and with frenzy born of repeat
ed defeats and depressing failure, struck the
platter with a loud crash, and ceasing not in
its untamed fury, glanced aside. and in an
instant buried itself with sickening thud in
the corset of the hired girl.
With difficulty we drew out the glttering
blade, now ensanguined with the gore of
fellow creature, wiped it on the table cloth
and fed. Out into the cold unsympathetic
world, out into the crash and confusion,
struggling to battle on through life under an
| assumed name.
That is why we tremble and turn pale when
our past lite is inquired into by biographers.
This is why baked fowl makes us quail.
That is why always sign our nom de
plume to a promissory note. That, too, is
why we always travel IN. cog and without
baggage. -BtH Nye, Laramie boomerang.
