 His Life and Services.

NoNouIrr, Mass, Aug. 5.-General Sheridan died at 10:20 p. ru. There began to be signs of heart failure at half-past nine o'clock, previous to which there had been no unfavorable indications. The General had been somewhat restless on account of the heat, but seemed general ly bright and cheerful to-day. His voice was strong; he took full nourishment and slept occasionally as usual. The doctors and the family were in hopeful spirits. Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors went to the hotel for supper at seven o'clock, aI on returning the usual prep arations for the night were made. Colonel Sheridan said "Goed night" to his brother about twenty minutes past nine o'clock and went to the hotel.
 No apprehension was felt when the bad symptoms appeared. Doctors Matthews and O'Reilly applied the remedies which had been effective in former attacks, but they now had no effect, and the General gradually sank into complete uncon- seiousness, ending ln the quiet cessation of life at 10: % D. m.
 Mrs. Sheridan, the sisters Ur an and Justinian and the body servant Klein, were present during the Generals last moments.

 At the age Of twelve young Sheridan had to go to work. He found employment in hard ware store in Somerset, kept by John Talbot, with whom he remained for four months He then obtained place clerk in a dry goods store, and remained at that employment until 1Si7 He seemed pretty well satisfied with mercantile pursuits until he read one day of a vacancy at West Point, which half the fathers of the district were begging General Ritehie, the Congressman, to fill with their
