John HI. Rodney, Esq, attorney for
Samuel Townsend, executor, sold at the
National Hotel, in Middletown, on SatUr-
day last, piece of land on Lake street,
property of John Townsend, deceased, to
Messrs. w. P. Biggs and Henry Clayton,
for S61O, subject to lean Of $500. The lot
is 100xI25 feet, fronts on Lake street and
is improved with a frame coach shop and
blacksmith shop. The purchasers intend
to convert the buildings into fruit, veg
etable and poultry canning establish
ment and will soon begin the necessary
alterations and improvements. The can
ming of poultry will be commenced soon
as the season opens, and during the win
ter the cans will be made up for the fruit
and vegetable season. The firm name
will be Biggs and Clayton, and the busi-
ness qualifications, enterprise and energy
of both members insure success. The
business will be conducted on an extern
sive scale, and capital will not be spared
in the improvements and preparations for
its successful pursuit. We are sanguine
in the belief that the cannery Of Messrs
Biggs and Clayton will be an enterprise
that will confer great benefits on this
community.

Initiated.

A young clerk, who recently came to
Middletown from the lower part of the
State, has added another page to his book
of experience. He wanted an introduc-
ton to some one to cheer him up and
make him feel that the world was not all
dreary blank like the gable-end of
livery stable. The boys said he should
have the introduction, the preliminaries
were duly arranged, and on Tuesday
evening the sad-eyed youth walked
in the mellow cleaning, with what
seemed to be fair and coy maiden, in the
neighborhood Of the fair ground. But
the fair and coy maiden was a glaring
fraud in the way of smooth-faced mis-
chievous lad, and whilst the couple walked
thus in the cleaning, good half mile
from town, a volley of fire arms was dis
charged in the vicinity, and, to the excited
imagination Of the young clerk, the
hedges by the wayside seemed to pour
forth an army Of yelling assassins. The
sad-eyed young clerk left. He probably
never went away from anywhere SO sud
denly in all his previous life. Those who
saw him coming toward town didn't have
an opportunity to time him, but they are
sure he was making good record. Boys,
this is very, very naughty.

Sad Death.

The body Of Mrs. Amanda Henderson
was found in the canal at st. Georges on
Monday morning. She had disappeared
from her home, short distance away, on
the previous Friday. Mr.. Henderson, with
his wife and infant child, moved from
Summit Bridge to St. Georges last March,
where he engaged in the butehering
business. Mrs. Henderson is said to have
been the daughter of wealthy parents re-
siding in Buffalo, n. Y. She was only
about twenty years old and was woman
of rare beauty and accomplishments. Soon
after completing her education she became
infatuated with Mr.. Henderson, who is
represented to be at least sixty years of
age. Amanda's parents opposed the
match, an elopement followed, and she was
warned never to return to her old home.
At the time she committed the act Of self
destruction, herself, husband and babe

Gal6fia, Illinois, papers announce the
death, in that city, of Mrs. Hetty Spare,
wife of Mr.. John G. Spare former resi-
dent Of this vicinity. Mr.. Spare was born
at Odessa, then Cantwell's Bridge, and
resided there in his early life. Captain
Samuel Pennington and Mr.. Charles Tat
man, Jr., of our town, were his school
mates. While young man, Mr.. Spare
emigrated to the West, but returned to
Odessa and, with his wife, resided there
in 1916 and Al. Mrs. Spare was born at
Carlisle, Pa, in 1923 and was married to
Mr. J. c. Spare at Galena, ILL.,, in 1910.
The Galena gazette speaks of the death OF
this estimable lady as follows:
"Her last illness was lingering and
severe, she having been confined to her
bed from March to August Is, 1881, when
she peacefully went TO her rest. During
her sickness she bore her suferings with
exemplary patience, and calmly awaited
the hour of dissolution, constantly eX-
pressing her thanks to those who lovingly
Ininistered to her wants. She knew that
she was sinking under an incurable dis
ease, and undismayed and with Christian
resignation she submitted to the Divine
will. Death had no terrors for her. She
recognized his icy touch, and calmly
spoke of her decease before her friends
had discovered its near approach. In
their bereavement, the family-consisting
of her husband, two sons and one daugh-
ter,who remain to mourn her loss-have
the sympathy of the entire community,
who Share in their grief and sincerely con-
dole with them; while to the numerous
circla of her attached and personal friends,
to whom she had endeared herself in no
ordinary degree, her memory will be
precious. In the relation of wife and
mother she has left bright and enduring
record, ever to be cherished by those who
were the objects of her tender care and
solicitude, and to whose comfort and hap
piness she had so long and faithfully
ministered. AS Christian woman deeply
interested in the cause of her Master, she
won the love and esteem of all who asso-
ciated with her.
