FOUND DEAD.-Mr. G. A. Anders,
well-known to all our readers, was
found dead in his home, last Monday
night. His wife had been called to
the sick bedside of her daughter-in-
law ct Washington, leaving no one at
home but the deceased. He was was
seen on Sunday afternoon for the
last time alive. Missing him, and
knowing Of the absence of his wife,
and that he had been complaining
somewhat of illness, Mr.. Howell, his
neighbor, thought it best to drop in
and see him. With Mr.. Neal Berry,
they entered the front door, which
was unlocked, and finding no one in
the lower rooms, passed on up stairs.
They discovered Mr.. AIS body on
the door, stiff and cold, face down
wards. He was attired in his night
clothes. The affair is very sad, in
deed. Mrs. A. arrived home on
Tuesday, and is greatly distressed.
The funeral services took place at
the house, and the body was taken
to Frederick for burial. Mr.. Anders
was quiet, peaceable gentleman, re-
spected and liked by all who knew
him, and the announcement OF his
unhappy end, was shock to the en-
tire community.
