Another Sad Death.-Mercer Joshua
Matlack, only son of Samuel A. and the late
Annie L. Matack, died at this place on
Saturday morning last, after short and pain
full illness of rheumatism and pneumonia,
in the 31st year of his age.
"The old must die" but it is extremely
sad to see one who has reached the vigor of
manhood, just as the follies and restless
ness of the earlier part of life is succumbing
To the mandates and stern realities, pass to
the grave. Nothing We can say can at all
affect the condition Of the dead, but we may
be permitted to say that these notes Of warn.
ing, as they fall ever and anon upon our
ears, should not pass unheeded by US. They
are the palpable evidences of our own NOR
tality, they should remind US that we toe
are passing rapidly In the footsteps of him
whose memory We now write, and ere an
other moon shall have waxed and waned
some one OF US may be called to pass the
same solemn and dreadful ordeal through
which he has passed.
Young Matlack, for he had not yet reached
the full bloom of manhood, or bud Mat
lack" as be was more Familiarity called and
known, was bright and attractive youth
He lost the tender care of mother when
but mere child, but he so conducted him
self as to gain the love of his playmates, as
sociates and friends. When scarcely in his
teens he entered the service Of the b. & o b..
Company at this place and soon became one
of its most skilled telegraphic operators and
at the time of his death was assistant agent
During his illness he had all the vigilance
care and comforts that devoted hands could
render and received all the rites of his
church. His funeral services were held at
St. Mary's Catholic church on Monday last
| a btA inc ala Ia III,
terry adjoining the church. In the large
concourse that attended the last sad rites OF
the deceased were number of his fellow
employees of the b. 81 o. and the exquisite
testimonials Of flowers that they placed upon
his bier and grave were significant token of
their deep attachment-nor were his friends
at home less expressive in this respect
Peace to his ashes, consolation to his family
and relatives and flowers for his grave.
