HIS DEATH HOURLY EXPECTED.

GENERAL GRANT.

Growing steadily Weaker And His
Death Looked For At Amy Hour-Anx-
ious To Join His Friends On The
other Side.
New YORK, April AT 4 o'clock this
morning General Grant was seized with
terrible coughing spell, producing hemor-
rhage in which he lost teacupful of blood.
It ceased naturally and without any styptic
application. The discharge was light, arte-
rial blood from the throat, and not venous
blood from the lungs. The hemorrhage was
due somewhat to the increase of the disease.
The general seemed not at all frightened.
The doctors were hastily summoned. An
anodyne relieved him, and he afterward
slept until $50. At II o'clock the hemor-
rhage had not returned and the general was
comfortable, but it was feared that he might
not live the day out. Almost prophetically
the general said yesterday: "My chances of
pulling through this are one in a hundred,
have no doubt; but sometimes I do feel that
I shall get better. I think if I have another
strangling spell I shall go off very quickly;
and if you doctors can tell how long man
can live under water when he is drowning,
then think can form some idea of what
time shall have to live when that next
strangling comes on, if it does come on. i'll
have not the choking, think shall inger
some time, for feel SO much better the last
two days"
During the forenoon General Grant con-
tinued to grow weaker and took food under
protest There were very few callers during
the day and no one was allowed to see him
except DIR. Newman, ex-senator Chaffee, his
physicians and members of the family. At 2
O'Clock Drs Barker, Sands, Shrady and
Douglass found it was impossible to make
thorough examination of the patients throat
owing to his enfeebled condition. All
agreed that the general had grown
weaker since the hemorrhage and that no
change could be made in the mode OF
treatment. Ulysses Grant, son of Orville
Grant. said this afternoon that it was doubt
full if the general lived through the night.
He had been sleeping some and appeared
cheerful and would occasionally smile to
those near him. DR.. Newman in converse
ton with the general this afternoon told him
that everybody seemed to be his friend. The
general replied: eyes, I have also many
friends on the other side and they are wait
ing for me; I hope they will not have to
wait long"
At 6 o'clock the generals condition was
stated in the following bulletin:
General Grant has been sleeping quietly since the
last record He has Just awakened and taken food
and stimulant The pulse is rs, volume fair; tenn
perature 101. There has been no recurrence OF the
hemorrhage.

The roller skating craze has finally
struck our village, and thus far, seems
to be thriving very well, with the ex-
ception of broken bones and elope-
mepts, of which none have occurred as
yet. Master Clint Collins, of Kent,
gave an exhibition of fancy skating
last Thursday evening, which was
appreciated very much. On Thursday
evening of this week there will be q
prize given 10 the fastest gentleman
skater and the most graceful lady
skater.
One Of our most energetic farmers
being rather flush financially. WAS re-
lisved, u few days ago, of some of his
loose change, by couple of sharps'
who were getting in their work in this
vicinity. They were selling watches;
had four boxes with ii watch i'm each
box, and in one box q prize o. S45.
The purchaser was given his choice OF
