II Is our sad duty TO record the death Of
one of our Oldest and most respected citi-
zens, Mr.. Peter J. Outcn, which occurred
on last Saturday, and was very sudden
and unexpected. Cause Of his death was
heart disease. lie was Upright and enter
prising farmer, living about five miles
from town. lie was In town on Thurs
day prior TO his death on Saturday, and
about half an hour before his death he
walked out 10 the barn-yard and was talk
ing about his horses and cattle when he
was taken suddenly III and died. To be
taken so suddenly, surely seems like q
double trouble TO his relatives and friends,
and we truly sympathizc with them In
their sad bereavement. lie leaves several
children to mourn their loss. His remains
were inferred ON his farm in the old fami-
ly burying ground.

Misses Mamie Middlckouf and Mamie
Chopper, two of Baliimorcs fair daugh-

as the guests OF Miss Blanche Powell. They
seemed TO have a gay time and some Of
our young gallants seemed to be very
much impressed. Ever since their departure
on Monday last, these seem very much
depressed, and as the old Helen moved of
Monday. ifyou could have seen the full
supply Of tears falling overheard, you
would think our river would soon be much
deeper, wider, and the water brackish.--
We hope they will come again very very
soon and stay longer.
