MR.. II. M. HUTCHINSON.
His Long Struggle for Life Ended by Death
Yesterday Morning.
Incidents During His IIIness-skotch OF
Ills Active aud Useful Life.

It was stated in yesterday mornings RE-
PUBLICAN that Mr.. Hayward M. Hutch
inson's death was hourly expected, and the
evening papers announced the sad intelli-
gence of his demise, which took place at half
past six yesterday morning. During his long
and painful illness Mr.. Hutchinson mado o
brave fight for life, and his vigorous consti-
tuition averted the dread termination much
longer than was expected. The peculiar
character of his disease, form Of paralysis,
which attacked the different organs in turn,
gave continued alarm to his relatives as each
now development appeared, and yet until
very recently the farmer" rs he was affec-
tionately called by those who knew him
most intimately, never lost courage.
An incident will illustrate his power of
will. Less than a week ago, when his family
had been peculiarly anxious about him and
tho doctor had made several visits TO the
house during the day, the ladies had been
persuaded to take some rest, and he was left
alone with Mr.. Olmstead, his son-in-law, who
was unremitting in his attentions during his
entire illness. Calling Olmstead to his bed
side, he said
"The folks are frightened about me, aren't
they"
you know ladies are easily alarmed"
"The doctor has been here several times,
and must be worsep
"Well, you are pretty low, but you have
been equally as low several times"
az think" said the sick man, g / could get
| all right If had some milk toast"
Mr.. Olmstead went down stairs and made
some toast and taking 1t up stairs expected
to feed IL to the patient. Instead of that Mr.
Hutchinson turned himself over in bed,
raised up upon his arm, and eat a portion Of
the toast, helping himself to the food. In all
this proceeding he was doing what he had
not been able to do for many days before, and
it was simply to show that he had some
vitality left and was not as low as he was
believed to be- OF course after this effort the
reaction came, ,.and he fell back exhausted and
remained for several hours completely pros
trated. In the latter days of his life he had
periods of deliriums lasting longer as the
hour of final dissolution drew near. His
funeral will take place from his late residence
on Massachusetts tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock, and the interment will be at Oak Hill
| cemetery.

Thousands say it's priceless boon
When headache racks the throbbing brain
In silent night or busy noon.
SO easy thus TO free the pain.

No doctors bill, or bandaged brow.
This wondrous cure has many blessed,

PUBLIC READINGS. Miss Ida

Nichols, two talented young ladies
from Boston, gave public readings
IN Feller's Hall Wednesday night.
The audience, on account Of prayer
meeting in all the churches, was not
large, but it was an appreciative
one. The young ladies are both
thorough elocutionists and highly
trained in their profession. The
rendition, by Miss Dawes, of the
scene from Henry VII, in which
the King, Queen Catharine and Car
dinal Wolsey were each personated.
was never excelled, even by Char
lotte Cushman.
Miss Nichols excelled in humor-
Gus readings, and the boys compost
tion on the horse kept the audience
convulsed with laughter. In fact
both these young ladies are high up
in their profession, and gave decided
ly the best readings ever before Civ
