CLAYMoNT, Feb. 10.-Mr. Amor g. Forwood,
who was visiting relatives in Hartford few
weeks ago, was the object of great anxiety
among his relatives and friends wnen they read
in the Chester and Wilmington papers that he
was dead. He had been in Hartford for two
weeks, and had not written home, so that the
report could not be affirmed nor denied. 1t
was several days before it was ascertaned that
a mistake had been made Mr. Forwood was
enjoying the hospitality of Hartford meantime,
and returned to bic home having gained eleven
pounds, to the great delight of all. The report
grew out of the fact of his name being con-
founded with the name of an uncle, Valentine
Forwood, who died during his absence.
