Death of Hiram Rudolph McNeal

Hiram Rudolph McNeal. son of Joseph
Fl. and Annie J. McNeal a young man of
about p years of age, died at the residence
of his parents at Bell Hill, near this town,
on Sunday morning last at an early hour,
after long and painful illness of softening
of the brain. About five years ago. Mr..
McNeal, then young man just past age,
was engaged in business in Wilmington,
Del. He was of pleasing address, corteous
and attractive in manners, of fine personal
appearance as we'll as apparently in robust
health, and his prospects in life appeared to
be of the brightest. But even then the germ
of an insideous disease was beginning to
develop itself. He became subject to at
tacks of some trouble in his head, which
gradually became more and more severe,
until finally he was forced to give up bust
ness and return to his parents home. From
that time until the time of his death, the
advance of the disease was gradual but Ger
tain. 1t batfled the best medical skill, and
finally terminated on Sunday last, as we
have stated. He was the eldest of the chill
dren of his parents, and notwithstand his
death was expected, it is sad bereavement
to them. He was member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. His funeral took
place on Wednesday afternoon last, Rev.
c. f. Sheppard, of the Elkton NJ. E.
Church officiating. The remains were in
TERED In the Elkton cemetery. Thus was
cut short young life full of promise.

North East Items,

When Mr.. J. H. McCracken, Postmaster
at this place, opened his office last Tuesday
morning, he found affairs in it not altoge-
Their in proper shape, on examination he
found back shutter had been pried open,
and the bolt badly bent, and the putty
gouged out from around a pane of glass,
and the glass broken close to the catch, this
accomplished the enterence to the office
was very easy. Fortunately the postmaster
has always made it a rule to remove all
valuables from the office at the close OF
business. So the gentleman was poorley
paid for his trouble, the only thing missing
was so or rs pennies, letters as far as
known were not disturbed. We are not
altogether certain, but we think the perTe
TRAITOR of the act was Democrat.
A new heater and about 400 chairs will
be in position in the new hall this week,
after that it will be about ready for bust
ness. The pear cider business seems to be
on the increase, the enforcement of the
local option law in this district now rests
with the 8, we hope that Grandpap will see
his responsibility, if he does not, he will be
left, and his little ballot. Ducks are very
scarce, what few there is are very high in
price.
Fortunately we have had no hog cholera
with us this season, sqeeliug has began
Mr.. B. F. Reynolds will carry off the prize
for big hogs, he has one it is said will reach
500.
An improvement has been made by our
town commissioners of about 400 feet OF
new pavement of good brick and it its a
good job, credit to all who were concerned
in it.
Democrats are happy, half-breeds amt
and are very scarce. If there are any around
Elkton that have not secured passage we
have few tickets left, which they can get
by applying early. Unfavorable reports
come to us from the salt river region tina,
they are in very unhealthy condition; the
Democrats have occupied them so long.
However, We will try and put them in or
der and have comfortable quarters when
they return in 1888.
