Daniel Mauck, of Cheshire is dead.
Last Wednesday morning he and
his wife got up as usual, the latter
going about her customary duties.
In about half an hour Mrs. Mauclk
called her husband TO breakfast but
got no answer and as he did not ap-
pear she soon after went to his room
and found him in bed. Speaking
to him and receiving no answer she
approached the bed and took hold
OF his hand before discovering that
he was not asleep, but unconscious.
A physician was summoned as soon
as possible but too late, and all he
could do was to announce the attack
as one of apoplexy. Mr.. Mauck
would have been a years of age
had he lived until yesterday, and is
the last of the Mauck brothers who
for many years were the most promi-
nent citizens of Cheshire. The
news of his sudden death, was re-
ceived with surprise by orr perm
anent citizens generally, by most of
whom he was we'll known and high
ly respected. Two OF his daughters,
c. f. Besserer and Mrs. A. ID. Guth-
RE reside here, who with their
mother, who also has here large
circle of warm personal friends,
have the sincere sympathy of all
our people in their loss.
Mr. Mauck was an old and infiu-
entail member of the Freewill Bap-
fist church, and as such was held in
the highest estimation in all the
churches of Meigs and Gallia coun-
ties.
We find the following sad an
nouncement in the Wheeling Reg
lister of Monday. The many friends
of Mr.. Philpott, in this place, extend
him their sincere sympathies:
Architect Philpott's bright little
daughter, Mary E., aged thirteen
and half years, passed away yes
terday evening of typhoid fever.
She was sweet, gentle little girl,
ardently beloved by all her play
mates. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy of all.
Mr.. Philpott, himself, is danger
ously i'll, with la grippe, but at last
accounts, he is somewhat better.
AN OLD MILL SroNE.-The Spen-
Ger Bulletin says: esquire Hud-
dleston showed us an ancient mill
stone which he found in the bank
near VIM. Woodyard's residence on
the line of the new railroad. 1t was
a sandstone about 10 inches in di-
ameter, circular and about an inch
and n half thick. 1t was used by
the first settlers here, probably 100
years ago. It was the top stone,
and the hole through which the corn
is fed was about an inch in diameter.
The work of grinding was done by
hand and only few grains could
be ground at time. 1t is a very
interesting relic to the present gem

THROAT CUT.-Some colored men
own Crap den in one of the houses
that stands on the lot where the
old Rink used to stand, and occu-
pied by Thos. Walden, colored.
Monday night at a late hour Arthur
McFeders and Ed. Tuck got into a
dispute over the game, when
McFeders hit Tuck in the head
with brick, and Tuck countered
with a razor, cutting McFeders'
throat, coming very near severing
the juggler vein. AS it is the in
jured man is in very bad condi-
ton.
Officer Smith was called and ar
rested Arthur McFeders and Ed.
Tuck, the principals, and Chas.
Thomas, French Walden and Har-
rison johnson, and lodged them in
Jail.

The special boom edition of the
Wheeling Intelltgeneer, issued few
days ago, is the biggest thing in the
way of newspaper, ever under
taken in this State. Without its
new press it would have been an
impossibility. We hope the pro-
prietors made "miIlions" out of it.
