Harry Ambrose.

Harry Ambrose.
There are occasions in the llie
Of a newspaper man when he Is
called upon TO perform "A duty so
sad that he would gladly delegate
il to another, and shut out from
himself the mournii!l facts, that
as the chronicEerof passing events
he must spread before the pub
lie.
Once more upon us devolveS
this unpleasant duty in anno'inc-
Ing the death Of HARRY AMBROSE,
the genial landlord OF the Rem
pel House, which occurred on
Sunday last at IL O'Clock, the
elimination OF the tragic acel-
dent mentioned in the last issue
of the Sentinel. Than Harry
Ambrose there was no more ge-
nial. whole-souied, popular ana
enterprising man in Logan or the
Hooking Valley, and although he
today sleeps beneath the tnrf,
his friends and relatives can
hardly realize that he has gone
from among them forever to JON
the silent majority in the City OF
the Dead.
His death, so tragic, so nnex-
pected and so untimely, makes
the parting ali the more painful
ia those who knew and honofed
and loved HIM for his many eX
cellencies. and the lofty traits OF
character for which he Was dis
iinguished. In the prime OF his
life, full of hope and manly am
biiion, surrounded by the tender
ties of family affection, and
friends almost witaout nnnher.
the thread OF life is rudely sun
dered almost without p.e'G''!.l-
ton or note of warning. and the
bright sunshine of ,yester'@y j.
transformed Today into the I'M
penetrable veil OF sorrow tiis'i

gloom over the eatlre Coiiiihu-
