DEATH OF ALoNZO COBLEIGH.-
Alonzo Cobleigh, a longtime resi-
dent of Hyde Park, and one of its
most highly respected citizens, died at
his residence in this village on Sunday
morning last. Until within a few
months he had been man of unusual
" robust health, but in the latter part
of the past winter was taken with what
seemed to be a fever which his physi-
clan supposed he had broken up,
However, he did not rally from the at
tack and for the past three or four
months he has been slowly failing, and
for some time past it has been evident
that his disease was beyond the con-

a connected for more than quarter Q
n century. 1t is no disparagemen
e to any of the other members of tina
y church to say that Mr.. Cobleigh wa
y its chief pillar, the one upon whor
. more than any other devolved the labor
which all who are connected with an
, church so we'll understand devolv
% upon some leader. To Mr.. Cobleigh'
activity, energy and executive abilit
n that church owed in a great measur
it's prosperity in this town. To hi
purse they always went for the
heaviest contributions, and never
le vain. He was cheerful giver in a
