 Clinton W. Hatch died Saturday, at 6 D. m. Mir. Hatch was the victim of an accident few weeks since, an account of which appeared in this paper. He never fully recovered from the shock. Whether death resulted iron the passing of the wheel over his body, which is not gener- ally believed to have been the fact, or from the effects of liquor, for MT. Hatch was a regular drinker, is not known. His funeral was attended Tuesday, burlal in the Nathan Hale cemetery. His age was 49.

 There was an editorial suggestion in last weeks Press which we were sorry to see it was confession of lack of ''setting up bllN bllC buSS3SOokOA Who LAh0 correspondents be more prompt in send ing in their items. Only the week before a brother reporter had asked, "How is it your paper ?" 70" was the reply, i've send in Thursday morning." "Well," his answer was, "next they'll print the news sent Friday in the previous Thursday s paper, but in the paper I report for the news is required the Wednesday previous.

 Just now, while so much is being written about Captain Nathan Hale, it may interest the young people to know that his lady love was a slaughter of his fathers second wife, and as proof that Hale was a lover of the beautiful we read that 'she had bright hazel eyes, fair, fresh con- plexiOn, a hand and arm which i'll her younger days must have been fit subjects for sculptor" And while in Yale col lege he was betrothed to this lady then living in his native town, whether by let ter or when at the house is not known. He had many female correspondents, but the Gone to his fancy a bright, particular star, was Alice Adams, who was a wid- ow in the 18th year of her age, having lost her husband, MT. Elijah Ripley, after a married life of twenty-two months and twenty-one days. Nathan and Alice had been engaged previous to her marriage to MT. Ripley, but friends had broken up the match because Nathan's father and Alice's mother were married, and Sarah, a sister of Alice, had married Nathan's brother John, poor reasons no doubt the lovers thought, for after Alice became widower they were again betrothed, but after Hale's death she married William Lawrence of Hartford. As to Hale's personal appear ance, ''he was five feet, ten inches in height and exceeding well proportioned, his figure was elegant and commanding, he had broad chest, full face. light blue eyes and rosy complexion, hair of medium brown, just the right mate for the hazel eyed Alice, whose last intelligible words when dying at the age of S8 were, "Write to Nathan"
