Joshua Daugherty. second chief OF
tho Shawnees, and an old resident OF
this town, died very unexpectedly last
Friday night at his home two miles
southeast of here. During the day he
had been up town and complained OF
not feeling well, bnt walked home,
and nothing was thought OF it. About
supper time, though, he became worse
and word was dispatched for doctor
and also Mrs. Daugherty, who was in
town. Long before the arrival of eth
er, Josh laid down and without utter
ing word. expired. The cause is of
course unknown, bnt the prevailing
impression is that death resulted from
apoplexy. The funeral took place
upon Sunday and was attended by
Rev. S. Richards, OF the Congregation
al church. Josh Daugherty was forty
years ofsge aud a man who always
maintained his self respect and indie
pendence, and If not blessed with
great store OF this worlds goods, his
wants were proportionately limited.
We have received from James
Vick, Rochester, N. y. his Floral
Guide, which in beauty of appearance
and convenience OF arrangement sur
passes anything in this line which we
have ever had the privilege OF seeing |
before. II is pamphlet eight by ten |
inches in size, and with the covers,
which are by no means the least i'm
portant part of it, contains an even |
one hundred pages. Although called
a "fioral guide, it is devoted to vege-
tables as well and includes as full a list
and description OF both flowers, vege-
tables and also small fruits as could be
brought within the compass of a book
Of this size. In all that the Vicks have
their aim seems to have
been to attain as near to absolute per-
lection as possible, and probably no
one ever did so much towards bring
ng the cultivation Of flowers 10 the
nigh standard which it has now at
.aiued as did the head OF this firm.
