We regret very much to have to record
the death of John Breeding, son of Mrs. R.
L. Breeding of this place, which occurred
on Monday morning. He had been sick
for some time, not dangerously, as was
thought, but congestion set in aud sudden
ly carried him off. When death comes to
the aged we may feel partially resigned. but
when he takes those who are yet in the first
flush of youth, how hard it is to give them
up!
The late Amariah Wilson set commend
able example to other old folks. by keeping
A record Of the history of his family and of
The notable events of his life. About the
beginning of the war he WAS almost killed
BY burglar, as we recollect, and never re-
covered from the injuries he received, in
of which he was unable to
'aise his right hand to his head, yet he con-
rived to write several copies of his pei
onal memoirs for different members Of
lis family in a very clear and legible hand.
These records will of course be of great in
crest and value to all his defendants.

hurch of this place, janitor of the Method
Ut church, South, aud late chaplain and

ignsd his position as city scavenger be- l
ause of inadequate compensation. The !
Ion. James Blair Is re-instated in the Office.
Whether his habits of sobriety, ETC., have t
improved, or whether those of the superior I
ace have declined, we can only conjecture. i
I'M is an old stager and 'ward politician" S
nd knows how to put in claims for per-
uisites which his predecessor did not I'M
erstand, so will be apt to make it pay.
